Non-invasive Lipolysis
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a prospective, open-labeled, non-randomized, multi-center clinical study to collect safety and efficacy data on the TempSure Firm. The intended use of the TempSure device is to use the Firm handpieces for non-invasive lipolysis.
Detailed description
Up to 12 subjects will be enrolled at up to 3 study centers. Subjects will attend a screening/pretreatment visit which may be performed on the same day as the treatment visit. Subjects may receive 1 treatment on the abdomen with the TempSure firm. Subjects will undergo abdominoplasty surgery at one of 4 predetermined timepoint after an abdomen treatment: day 0 (within 24 hours after treatment), 10 days (+/- 3 days), 20 days (+/- 3 days), or 30 days (+/- 7 days). This will be determined by the availability of the subject and/or an as needed basis and this will be decided by the Investigator and the Sponsor.
Interventions
The TempSure firm will be used on the abdomen for non-invasive lipolysis.

Study design
Intervention model description
There are 4 different arms, each with different time frames based on thei subjects' availability. Each group uses the same device and treatment parameters, with the only difference being when follow up measures are taken.
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Male or female between 18 - 55 years old. * Willing to receive treatments with the TempSure® device and willing to have biopsies taken from a control site and the treatment area (biopsies are collected after the abdominal tissue flap is removed during abdominoplasty surgery) * Understand and accept obligation not to receive any other procedures on the treatment and control areas throughout the length of the study. * Understand and accept the obligation and able to be present for all study visits * Willing to comply with all requirements of the study and able to provide informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
Pregnant or of childbearing potential and not using medically effective birth control, or has been pregnant in the last 3 months, currently breast feeding or planning to become pregnant prior to the end of the study. * Currently enrolled in an investigational drug or device trial, or has received an investigational drug or investigational device treatment(s) in the area to be treated (or designated control area) 6 months prior to entering this study (or at the discretion of the Investigator) . * Cuts, wounds, or infected skin on the area to be treated or designated control area * On local, oral, or systemic anesthetic agents. * Condition(s) or circumstance(s) that, in the investigators opinion, may put the subject at significant risk, may confound study results or may interfere significantly with subject participation.
