Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Incidence of SAEs
The primary safety endpoint will be met if all treated Participants are free from serious adverse events (SAEs) attributable to the RAP device immediately post treatment and at the 3-month follow-up visit.
Treatment Tolerability
The primary endpoint will be met if a mean tolerability measure using pain scores averaged across all treated Participants is < 8.0
Secondary Outcome Measures
Cellulite improvement
A ≥15% mean reduction in the 0-5-point Cellulite Severity Scale as determined by physician assessment of Participant photographs taken before and 3 months after treatment.
