Safety of CoolScupting in the Submental Area
Safety of the Zeltiq CoolSculpting device will be assessed by measuring the incidence of device- and/or procedure-related adverse events. Adverse event reports are collected from the time of enrollment through the 12 week follow-up visit.
Time frame: Time of enrollment through12 week post-final treatment follow-up
Percentage of Correct Identification of Pre-treatment Photographs
Change in the treated vs. untreated areas will be assessed by observation of changes in surface contour and/or fat volume by an independent photo review of pre-treatment and post-treatment images of the treated areas. Reviewers will be practicing dermatologists or plastic surgeons. All reviewers will be blinded to post-treatment vs. baseline untreated area. The order in which images will be presented will be randomized; for each subject placement of the baseline, pre-treatment image will be randomized for each pair of subject images. Reviewers will be asked to select the baseline photos for each subject photo series and record selections on a data collection form. Criteria for evaluable photos for the purposes of the independent review: subject completed treatment regimen; subject has complete set of baseline photos; subject has a complete set of post-treatment photos; photos were taken using Zeltiq standard procedure.
Time frame: 12 week post-final-treatment
Change in the Fat Layer of the Treated Area as Measured by Ultrasound
Change in the fat layer thickness will be calculated by comparison of pre-treatment and 16 week post-treatment ultrasound measurements taken in the area treated with the device. The Sponsor's standardized techniques for obtaining ultrasound imaging will be used. Results indicate the fat layer reduction in cm.
Time frame: 12 weeks post-final treatment
Subject Satisfaction With CoolScupting in the Submental Area
