Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Composite 1-grade Response with Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS) and Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (PR-SMFRS) Compared to the BaselineBaseline and 12 weeks after last treatment

A composite 1-grade response is defined as at least a 1-grade improvement from Baseline on both the Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS) is evaluated by independent assessor and Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (PR-SMFRS) using the following scale:

0 = no chin fat at all, 1 = a slight amount of chin fat, 2 = a moderate amount of chin fat, 3 = a large amount of chin fat, and 4 = a very large amount of chin fat.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Response in Pre-platysmal AreaBaseline and 12 weeks after last treatment

Change rate of reduction in pre-platysmal volume.

Change From Baseline in Patient-Reported Submental Fat Impact Scale (PR-SMFIS)Baseline and 12 weeks after last treatment

Patients are asked to rate the visual and emotional impact that the appearance of submental fullness had on their self-perception using 11-point scale range from 0 (no impact) to 10 (extreme impact).

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Composite 1-grade Response with Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS) Compared to the BaselineBaseline and 12 weeks after last treatment

The CR-SMFRS is defined as at least a 1-grade improvement is evaluated by independent assessor from Baseline using the following scale:

0 = no chin fat at all, 1 = a slight amount of chin fat, 2 = a moderate amount of chin fat, 3 = a large amount of chin fat, and 4 = a very large amount of chin fat.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Composite 1-grade Response with Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (PR-SMFRS) Compared to the BaselineBaseline and 12 weeks after last treatment

The PR-SMFRS is based on the participant's response to the question "How much fat do you have under your chin right now?" answered on a 5-point ordinal scale (0-4):

0 = no chin fat at all, 1 = a slight amount of chin fat, 2 = a moderate amount of chin fat, 3 = a large amount of chin fat, and 4 = a very large amount of chin fat.

Change From Baseline in Participants With a Subject Self Rating Scale (SSRS) ResponseBaseline and 12 weeks after last treatment

A SSRS response is defined as an SSRS score that is 4 or greater 12 weeks after the last treatment.

The SSRS assesses participant's satisfaction with their appearance in association with the face and chin on a 7-point scale from 0 to 6: where 0 = Extremely dissatisfied, 1 = Dissatisfied, 2 = Slightly dissatisfied, 3 = Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, 4 = Slightly satisfied, 5 = Satisfied and 6 = Extremely satisfied.

The cervical mental angle is measured using a 3D scanner photograph obtained at first and last visit.

Change From Baseline in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Response in Platysmal AreaBaseline and 12 weeks after last treatment

Change rate of reduction in platysmal volume.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Composite 2-grade Response with Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS) and Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (PR-SMFRS) Compared to the BaselineBaseline and 12 weeks after last treatment

A composite 2-grade response is defined as at least a 2-grade improvement from Baseline on both the Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS) is evaluated by independent assessor and Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (PR-SMFRS) using the following scale:

0 = no chin fat at all, 1 = a slight amount of chin fat, 2 = a moderate amount of chin fat, 3 = a large amount of chin fat, and 4 = a very large amount of chin fat.

Patient Global Impression of Change scale (PGIC)12 weeks after last treatment

Patient global impression of change scale (PGIC) is to rate patients total improvement or worsening in the appearance since before the first treatment compared to final treatment with 1 = Very much improved, 2 = Much improved, 3 = Minimally improved, 4 = No change, 5 = Minimally worse, 6 = Much worse, 7 = Very much worse.

Change From Baseline in Derriford Appearance Scale 24 (DAS24)Baseline and 12 weeks after last treatment

Difference of Derriford Appearance Scale 24 (DAS24) is to measure distress and dysfunction to problems of appearance with 24 questions using 4-point from 0 (None) to 4 (more distress).

Change From Baseline in Body Image Quality of Life Inventory (BIQLI)Baseline and 12 weeks after last treatment

Body Image Quality Life Inventory (BIQLI) assesses participants' body image using 7-point ranging from -3 (very negative) to +3 (very positive).
