Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of treatment with the Liposonix System (Model 2) for the circumferential reduction of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) of the thighs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Subjects received a single treatment (Liposonix System) on one randomly assigned thigh. The opposite thigh was not treated and served as a control for each subject.
