Circumference Reduction of Abdomen
Conditions
Brief summary
At least 90 female and male subjects, from 6 investigational sites, aged 18-70 seeking non-invasive lipolysis and circumference reduction of abdomen will be enrolled. Eligible subjects will receive 3 bi-weekly treatments (once in 2 weeks) with Trim II hands-free applicator belt according to the study protocol.Study duration for each subject is approximately 6 months (including screening, 3 treatments and 2 follow-up visits at 1 and 3 months post last treatment).
Detailed description
The goal of this prospective study is to evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Trim II for Non-invasive Lipolysis and Circumference Reduction of Abdomen. The main questions are : * Efficacy of the Trim II treatment for lipolysis and abdominal circumference reduction. * Safety of the Trim II treatment for lipolysis and abdominal circumference reduction Eligible subjects will receive 3 bi-weekly treatments (once in 2 weeks) with Trim II hands-free applicator belt according to the study protocol.
Interventions
Eligible subjects will receive 3 bi-weekly treatments (once in 2 weeks) with Trim II hands-free applicator belt according to the study protocol. Trim II hands-free applicator composed of 4 units applied to the abdominal area, using a single-use belt. Each treatment duration will be 45-60 minutes. Study duration for each subject is approximately 6 months (including screening, 3 treatments and 2 follow-up visits at 1 and 3 months post last treatment).
