Single Treatment
All enrolled subjects will receive a Percutaneous Radiofrequency Single Treatment' Percutaneous Radiofrequency single treatment: Percutaneous Radiofrequency single treatment' under controlled temperature conditions based on pre-defined amounts of energy as controlled by the device internal algorithm, and investigator expertise. Additionally, Hunsted solution will be infused in the treatment area to eliminate the electrode/fiber to touch inner layers of the skin. External temperatures (skin surface) will be monitored using a temperature reading camera to ensure the external temperature stays within acceptable levels during the procedure Ice packs will also be used as needed to cool the treatment area based on the Thermal Camera Reading where the . heat delivery may be exceeding the threshold.

Interval 46.6 to 66.9

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Change from baseline to Days 90 and 180

Population: sixty-nine of the 72 enrolled and treated subjects completed visit 5 (Day 90) and 67 completed Visit 6 (Day 180). subjects with non-evaluable images were excluded from the analysis for Day 90 and 180 as applicable

Overall improvement of submental lift was determined by a blinded rater panel using before and after photos
