The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the safety and pre-cursors of efficacy of a non-invasive 1064nm laser and 940nm diode, for the disruption of subcutaneous adipose tissue and skin tightening.
The purpose of the biopsies is to assess if the device causes an inflammatory response in the abdominoplasty tissue that will be excised.

Biopsy of Tissue Sample as a Measure of Effectiveness
Biopsy of treated area will be obtained up to 6 months post treatment and will be histologically assessed for changes in adipocytes, collagen and surrounding tissue to determine effectiveness of device
Time frame: 6 months post treatment
Ultrasound Measurement to Evaluate Reduction of Fat
Ultrasound of the treatment area will be performed and evaluated in comparison to the baseline results to determine reduction of fat
Time frame: 6 months post treatment
High Frequency Ultrasound to Measure Skin Elasticity and Thickness
High frequency ultrasound of the treatment area will be performed and evaluated in comparison to baseline results to measure changes in skin elasticity and skin thickness.
Time frame: 6 months post last treatment
