PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 12 post final treatment (up to 24 weeks after first treatment)

Population: Per Protocol population consisted of all treated participants who 2 treatments, and weight change of no more than 5% of total body weight at the time the assessments were performed compared to the weight obtained at the first treatment visit. 'Overall number of participants analyzed' = participants evaluable for this endpoint.

Photographs of the treatment area taken at baseline and 12-weeks after final treatment were assessed for visual changes. Reported here is the mean percentage (%) of correct baseline identification of images by the blinded independent reviewers.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline up to 36 weeks post final treatment (up to 42 weeks from first treatment)

Population: The Safety Population consisted of all enrolled participants who received at least 1 treatment.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory findings) in participants, whether or not considered related to treatment. A serious AE was an AE that resulted in death, serious deterioration in health, permanent impairment of a body structure/function, was life-threatening, required hospitalization or medical/surgical intervention, led to fetal distress or death, congenital abnormality, or birth defect. An adverse devise effect (ADE) was any sign, symptom, or disease determined by the Investigator to have a causal relationship or possible causal relationship with the investigational device, including any AE resulting from insufficient or inadequate instructions for use, deployment, implantation, installation, or operation, or any malfunction of the device or from use error or intentional misuse of the device. A SADE was an ADE that resulted in any of the consequences characteristic of a serious AE.
