`
`The currently used magnetic stimulation devices mostly consist of one
`
`magnetic field generating device, a capacitor parallel to a power source and a switching
`
`device in series to the power source. Further such topology requires a snubbering
`
`device, such as diode or RC snubbering circuit, for protecting the energy source during
`
`the reverse polarity of resonance. The use of a snubbering device causes high energy
`
`losses. The magnetic stimulation device wastes a lot of energy because of
`
`low
`
`efficiency due to significant electric losses while generating the time-varying magnetic
`
`field. Therefore these devices generate magnetic impulses ineffectively.
`
`[0005]
`
`Further there is a need to treat different areas by magnetic field to provide
`
`more efficient and faster treatment of large areas. The large areas may be at least one
`
`muscle group or region prone to cellulite.
`
`[0006]
`
`Another disadvantage of currently used devices using one magnetic field
`
`generating device is the shape of the magnetic field. The shape of the magnetic field is
`
`dependent on the shape of the magnetic field generating device. The magnetic field
`
`may not be selectively focused during the treatment. The adjustable parameters are
`
`magnetic flux density, repetition rate and/or time duration of the treatment.
`
`[0007]
`
`Still another disadvantage of currently used magnetic stimulation devices
`
`is the slow treatment
`
`in the case of large and/or a plurality of treated areas. The
`
`applicator has to be manually moved from one position to another position to stimulate
`
`the large and/or the plurality of treated areas and the treatment of the entire area takes
`
`a long time. Further the treatment is not homogenous since the magnetic field does not
`
`stimulate the entire large target area at the same time.
