The abdomen of each patient will be divided in four quadrants around the navel. One quadrant, selected randomly at the subject enrollment, will receive first bipolar radiofrequency potentiated by infrared, followed in the same session by fractional bipolar radiofrequency, 3 treatments one month apart.
