Brief Summary

Clinical Study to Evaluate the Performance the truSculpt Radiofrequency Device for Lipolysis of Abdominal Fat

Detailed Description

A single-center, prospective, non-randomized, open-label study to evaluate the truSculpt Radiofrequency Device for non-invasive fat reduction in abdominal tissue for up to 14 subjects. Measurement will be histological evaluation of tissue for selective fat necrosis, with sparing of the dermis and epidermis, following truSculpt treatment vs. untreated contralateral control.
