Brief Summary

This study aims to generate data that conveys participant's experiences such as their satisfaction with treatment delivered by the redesigned CoolSculpting® Elite system for non-invasive fat reduction in the midsection area (abdomen and flanks) in addition to optional body areas of upper arms, inner thighs, outer thighs and/or submental area. By doing this, the study will provide insights for doctors to better inform participants about the expected outcomes when one or more body areas are considered for treatment.

CoolSculpting® Elite SystemCoolSculpting® Elite System with CoolSculpting® Elite applicatorsParticipants received up to two CoolSculpting® Elite treatment sessions for the abdomen and flanks plus optional additional body areas 8 weeks apart. At the investigator's discretion, per treatment session, up to 8 treatment cycles were performed for the midsection, and if applicable, up to 2 treatment cycles for the submental area, up to 4 cycles to upper arms, and up to 4 cycles each to inner and/or outer thighs.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Numbers of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Treatment Emergent Adverse Device Effects (TEADEs); Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs), Serious Adverse Device Effects (SADEs), and Unanticipated TEAEs or ADEsFirst treatment to Follow-up/Exit Visit (Week 12 + 14 days for those participants who received only 1 treatment session and Week 20 + 14 days for those participants who received 2 treatment sessions)

An AE will be considered a TEAE if the AE began or worsened (increased in severity or became serious) on or after the date (and time, if known) of the first dose of study intervention. An AE will be considered a TESAE if it is a TEAE that additionally meets any SAE criterion. TEADE is defined as any TEAE with a reasonable possibility (Possible, Probable, or Causal relationship) that the event may have been caused by the study device. SADE is an ADE that might have led to any SAE consequences if a suitable action had not been taken or intervention had not been made.

Percentage of Participants With "Satisfied" or "Very Satisfied" on Item #1 for the CSQ (Cryolipolysis Satisfaction Questionnaire) - Midsection12 weeks after the final treatment session (measured at Week 12 for participants who received 1 treatment session or Week 20 for participants who received 2 treatment sessions)

The CSQ-Midsection is a 2-item Patient-reported Outcome (PRO) instrument that measures participant's satisfaction with CoolSculpting® treatment of the midsection (abdomen and flanks). Participants were asked to rate their satisfaction with the results of the fat-reduction procedure on a 5-item scale ranging from Very satisfied to Very dissatisfied.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Who Received Treatment to Abdomen and Flank and One or More Additional Body Areas for Treatment With "Satisfied" or "Very Satisfied" on CSQ-Overall Item 112 weeks after the final treatment session (measured at Week 12 for participants who received 1 treatment session or Week 20 for participants who received 2 treatment sessions)

The CSQ-Overall is a 1-item Patient-reported Outcome (PRO) instrument that measures the participant's satisfaction with CoolSculpting® Elite treatment when midsection and one or more additional body area were selected for treatment. Participants were asked to rate their satisfaction with the results of the fat-reduction procedure when considering the treated areas using a 5-item scale ranging from Very satisfied to Very dissatisfied.

Percentage of Participants With "Satisfied" or "Very Satisfied" on Individual Treated Body Areas (Upper Arms, Inner Thighs, Outer Thighs, Fat Under Chin) CSQ Item 112 weeks after the final treatment session (measured at Week 12 for participants who received 1 treatment session or Week 20 for participants who received 2 treatment sessions)

The CSQ- Upper Arms, CSQ-Inner Thighs, CSQ-Outer Thighs, CSQ-Fat Under Chin are 1-item Patient-reported Outcome (PRO) instruments that measure participant's satisfaction with CoolSculpting® Elite treatment for the optional additional individual body area(s) treated. Participants were asked to rate their satisfaction with the results of the fat-reduction procedure for the optional additional individual body area(s) treated on a 5-item scale ranging from Very satisfied to Very dissatisfied.

Percentage of Participants With Correct Identification of Baseline vs 12-week Post-final Treatment Images of the Treated Body Area(s) by at Least Two Out of Three Blinded, Independent Reviewers12 weeks after the final treatment session (measured at Week 12 for participants who received 1 treatment session or Week 20 for participants who recieved 2 treatment sessions)

Success was defined as at least 70% correct identification of the pre-treatment images.
