Measure
VelaShape III & UltraShape Power
Subjects received 3 biweekly treatments to the thighs with the VelaShape III and UltraShape Power devices. The VelaShape III device combines controlled infrared (IR) light and conducted bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energies with vacuum. The UltraShape Power device uses focused ultrasound energy for lipolysis (breakdown of fat) via a non-thermal mechanism of action.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At 12 weeks after the third treatment (week 16) for each subject

Population: 6 subjects were initially treated, but then were lost to follow-up during the period when the treatment protocol was amended. One other subject was lost to follow-up after three treatments because she was unable to come in for visits due to work schedule

Circumference change of thigh midline post combined VelaShape III and UltraShape Power treatments. Negative change represent reduction in thigh circumference.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after baseline

Population: 6 subjects were initially treated, but then were lost to follow-up during the period when the treatment protocol was amended. One other subject was lost to follow-up after three treatments because she was unable to come in for visits due to work schedule.

The thighs circumference change (at midline) after combined treatment with VelaShape III and UltraShape Power treatments compared to baseline. The changed of thighs circumference was calculated at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after baseline (which are second treatment , third treatment, 4 and 8 week follow-up visits, respectively). Negative change represent reduction in thigh circumference.
