    6. Having a history of skin cancer or any other cancer in the areas to be treated, including presence of malignant or pre-malignant pigmented lesions.

    7. Having a permanent implant in the treatment area such as metal plates or an injected chemical substance such as silicone or parenteral gold therapy (gold sodium thiomalate).

    8. Use of medications, herbs, food supplements, and vitamins known to induce photosensitivity to light exposure at the wavelength used or history of photosensitivity disorder.

    9. Suffering from significant skin conditions in the treatment area or inflammatory skin conditions including but not limited to open lacerations, abrasions, herpes sores, cold sores, active infections.

    10. Tattoos in the treatment area. 11. Poor skin quality (severe laxity). 12. Abdominal wall, muscular abnormality or hernia on physical examination. 13. Use of retinoids such as oral isotretinoin (Accutane™) within the past six months or during course of the study.

    14. History of keloid or hypertrophic scar formation or poor wound healing in the treatment area.

    15. As per the investigator's discretion, any physical or mental condition which may make it unsafe for the subject to participate.

    16. Unable or unlikely to refrain from sun exposure, artificial tanning, including the use of tanning booths, prior to (six weeks) and during the course of the evaluation.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Subject treatment group

Arm Description

Treatment group receiving up to 4 diode treatments and up to 8 RF treatments.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Photographic evaluation
Photographic evaluation by an independent, blinded reviewer with correct identification of pre-treatment baseline images when compared to post-treatment images taken at twelve weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Subject satisfaction: 5-Point Likert Subject Satisfaction Scale
To assess subject satisfaction with treatment at twelve weeks using the 5-Point Likert Subject Satisfaction Scale. 0 = very dissatisfied, 2 = dissatisfied, 4 = neutral, 6 = neutral (no change), 8 satisfied, 10 very satisfied
Subject assessment of discomfort: Wong Baker scale
Subject's assessment of discomfort and pain post-treatment as measured by the Wong-Baker Faces Pain rating scale. Wong Baker scale 0 = no pain, 1-2 = mild pain, 3-4 = moderate pain, 5-6 = severe pain, 7-8 = very severe pain, 9-10 = worst pain imaginable.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Open-label, baseline-controlled, multi-center study evaluating a 1060 nm diode laser, pulsed electromagnetic fields and vacuum assisted radio frequency for non-invasive fat reduction of the abdomen and flanks.
Detailed Description
Open-label, baseline-controlled, multi-center study evaluating a 1060 nm diode laser, pulsed electromagnetic fields and vacuum assisted radio frequency for non-invasive fat reduction of the abdomen and flanks. The study will enroll up to 200 subjects requesting non-invasive lipolysis of the abdomen and flanks. Each subject will receive up to 4 study treatments of the diode laser and up to 8 treatments of the pulsed electromagnetic fields and vaccum assisted radio frequency study treatments. Subjects will be followed at twelve weeks post final diode treatment. Twelve week post treatment outcome will be compared to baseline.

Arm Description
Treatment group receiving up to 4 diode treatments and up to 8 RF treatments.
Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
Venus Bliss
Intervention Description
The FDA cleared device (Venus Bliss™) is a non-invasive medical aesthetic device designed for body contouring. The device is comprised of a console, four 1060 nm diode laser applicators (60 mm x 60 mm). A belt is included to allow the operator to secure the laser applicators on the lipolysis treatment area, allowing hands free operation. The device uses vacuum assisted radiofrequency (RF) and PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) technology which has been shown in clinical studies to be safe and effective in body circumferential reduction and skin tightening.
