Prospective, two-arm, randomized study of the effectiveness of the BTL-9000 LLLT in achieving 3 cm or greater average waist circumferential reduction in LLLT group of subjects relative to the base line and 1 cm or greater reduction relative to the average waist circumferential reduction of the Placebo group.
Prospective, randomized, blinded, two-arms study of waist circumferential reduction following 5 once-a-week treatments. One arm is the LLLT group of 25 subjects who are treated with the BTL-9000 LLLT and the other arm is the Placebo group of 15 subjects treated with the sham device. The objective of the study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the BTL-9000 LLLT treatment in achieving average post-treatment waist circumferential reduction of 3 cm or greater across the waistline relative to the baseline assessment and of 1 cm or greater than the average waist circumferential reduction of the Placebo group.

Waist Circumferential reduction
The subjects in the LLLT group whose average post-treatment waist circumference shows reduction of 3 cm or greater across the waistline relative to the base line assessment and their average waist circumferential reduction is 1 cm or greater than the average circumferential reduction of Placebo group are considered to meet the study primary outcome success criteria.
Time frame: 30 days follow up after 8 twice-a-week treatments
Adverse Events
Absence of adverse events (AE) associated with the treatment procedure. Safety evaluations of skin reaction in the treatment area would be conducted at every treatment and follow up visits
Time frame: 1 month follow up
