Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Photographic Evaluations as a Measure of Effectiveness | 12 Weeks | Photographs of the treatment area will be obtained at baseline and 12 weeks post treatment and be evaluated by blinded independent readers to correctly identify pre-treatment (baseline) photographs compared to 12 weeks post treatment photographs in order to determine effectiveness of device. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Adipose Layer Thickness | 12 weeks | Ultrasound measurements of adipose layer thickness will be collected at baseline and 12 weeks after procedure to evaluate changes between both. |
| Subject Satisfaction | 12 weeks | Subject Questionnaires will be completed by subjects at the end of study to determine the subject satisfaction with procedure. |
