Measure
LLLT
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) once a week for 12 weeks LLLT: The LLLT uses 6 diode laser heads - each emitting 17 mW output. Subject will receive 30 minutes of therapy in the frontal central area and 30 minutes of therapy in the back central area, once a week for 12 weeks.
Lorcaserin
locarserin monotherapy - 10 mg, twice daily for 12 weeks Lorcaserin: 10 mg pills twice daily for 12 weeks.
LLLT and Lorcaserin
LLLT once a week for 12 weeks and 10 mg of Lorcaserin twice daily for 12 weeks LLLT: The LLLT uses 6 diode laser heads - each emitting 17 mW output. Subject will receive 30 minutes of therapy in the frontal central area and 30 minutes of therapy in the back central area, once a week for 12 weeks. Lorcaserin: 10 mg pills twice daily for 12 weeks.
