Embodiments provide device for treating sleep apnea, the device including: a. stand, a chin and neck support, an applicator integrated into the chin and neck support configured to provide High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Technology (HIFEM) therapy and Radio Frequency (RF) therapy, and a control panel configured to adjust an intensity of the delivered HIFEM and RF therapies in real-time. Tire applicator is configured to provide HIFEM therapy by delivering HIFEM energy to a patient's mouth, throat, and neck to stimulate and strengthen muscles associated with the patient's breathing, and further configured to provide RF therapy by delivering RF energy to reduce fat tissue in the patient's airway.

The present invention provides a lift cosmetic device using high intensity focused ultrasound, the lift cosmetic device comprising: a main body part having a circumference gripped by a user's hand and configured to generate rotational power when the user operates an operation button exposed on a surface; and a barrel part connected to a front side of the main body part and emitting high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) while moving along a corresponding path by the rotational power generated by the main body part and selectively switching an emission depth in two stages according to an operation mode, the barrel may selectively switch the depth of emission of the high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) such that the high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) may selectively reach an SMAS (superficial muscular fascia system) layer, which is a fibrous fascia layer that is part of a muscle layer, or a dermis layer.

Devices and methods using high intensity focused ultrasounds (HIFU) guided by ultrasound imaging often require an imaging ultrasound probe to be embedded within a HIFU transducer, in order for both probes to have a substantially similar position during operation. This configuration has many drawbacks and often causes poor imaging conditions due to constraints on the size of the imaging probe. The new methods and systems described herein allow the use of an imaging ultrasound probe separate from the HIFU transducer. The imaging ultrasound probe can be easily positioned relative to the HIFU transducer during operation by using a position capture system and a specific housing for the imaging probe. The invention is also applicable to high intensity contact ultrasound probes (HICU).
