1. A device for treating a patient, comprising:
an applicator comprising:
a first energy delivery element configured to provide a time-varying magnetic field to the patient, wherein the time-varying magnetic field has a repetition rate in a range of 1 Hz to 300 Hz and a magnetic flux density in a range of 0.5 Tesla to 7 Tesla;
a second energy delivery element configured to apply a radiofrequency field to the patient to cause heating of a target biological structure,
wherein the applicator is configured to be coupled to the patient by an adhesive material;
a low-frequency generator,
wherein the low-frequency generator is coupled to the first energy delivery element and configured to provide a low-frequency signal to the first energy delivery element to generate the time-varying magnetic field; and
a high-frequency generator coupled to the second energy delivery element,
wherein the high-frequency generator is configured to provide a high-frequency signal for generating the radiofrequency field.
