1. A device for treating a patient, the device comprising:
a first applicator configured to be coupled to a body region of the patient and be fixed to the patient by a belt, the first applicator comprising:
a first magnetic field generating device configured to generate a first magnetic field, and
a radiofrequency electrode configured to provide a radiofrequency treatment, wherein the radiofrequency treatment is configured to cause heating of the body region of the patient,
wherein the first magnetic field comprises a plurality of magnetic impulses having a magnetic flux density in a range of 0.1 Tesla to 7 Tesla and a repetition rate in a range of 1 Hz to 300 Hz, and
wherein the plurality of magnetic impulses comprises a magnetic impulse having an impulse duration in a range of 3 microseconds to 1 millisecond;
a second applicator comprising:
a second magnetic field generating device configured to generate a second magnetic field;
a first energy storage device;
a second energy storage device;
a first switching device configured to be switched in order to discharge energy from the first energy storage device to the first magnetic field generating device such that the first magnetic field generating device generates the first magnetic field; and
a second switching device configured to be switched in order to discharge energy from the second energy storage device to the second magnetic field generating device such that the second magnetic field generating device generates the second magnetic field.
