Exclusion Criteria
- •- Pacemaker or internal defibrillator, or any other metallic or electronic implant anywhere in the body.
- •Permanent implant in the treated area such as metal plates, screws and metal piercing, silicone implants or an injected chemical substance, unless deep enough in the periosteal plane.
- •Intra-dermal or superficial sub-dermal areas that have been injected with HA/collagen/fat injections or other augmentation methods with bio-material during last 6 months.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in circumference reduction
Time Frame: 1 month, 3 month, 6 months
statistical difference in circumference reduction between Control (baseline measurement) and three points of follow-up measurement: 4 weeks (1Month) 12 weeks (3Month) and 24 weeks (6 months) following the last Tx session.
Change in skin appearance
Time Frame: 1 month, 3 month, 6 months
Improvement in skin appearance comparing pre and at 1, 3 months and 6 months post last treatment photographs (as assessed by blinded investigators): Success is defined by correct identification of the pre and post-treatment photos as demonstrated in at least 70% or greater of patients completed the treatment at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months post-treatment.
Change in abdomen area appearance assessed by 3D Photographic analysis
Time Frame: 1 month, 3 month, 6 months
3D Photographic analysis will be conducted using QuantifiCare System at follow up visits and compared to the baseline.
Change in abdomen area appearance assessed by Investigator
Time Frame: 1 month, 3 month, 6 months
- Investigator assessment of the skin appearance comparing pre and post treatment using 0 - 4 -points Likert scale at follow up visits: 4 = Significantly marked improvement; 3 = Marked improvement; 2 = Moderate improvement; 1 = Slight improvement; 0 = No difference
Secondary Outcomes
- Subject assessment of comfort(1 month, 3 months, 6 months)
- Subject Improvement assessment(1 Month, 3 Months, 6 Months)
- Subject satisfaction assessment(1 month, 3 months, 6 months)
