About this study
Official title: Clinical Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of a 1060 nm Diode Laser for Non-invasive Fat Reduction of the Flanks
The objective of this clinical study is to assess the safety and efficacy of using a 1060 nm diode laser for non-invasive fat reduction of the flanks.
Read the detailed description
Open-label, baseline-controlled, evaluator-blind, multi-center study evaluating a 1060 nm diode laser for non-invasive fat reduction of the flanks. The study will enroll up to 50 subjects requesting non-invasive lipolysis of the flanks. Each subject will receive a single study treatment. Subjects will be followed at six weeks and twelve weeks post-treatment. Twelve week outcome will be compared to baseline.
- Conditions
- Fat Atrophy
- Being tested
- 1060nm Diode laser
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
1060nm Diode laserDevice
All subjects received a single treatment with Venus Bliss' 1064 nm laser administered to the flanks
Venus Bliss is a non-invasive medical aesthetic device designed for body contouring. The device contains four 1060 nm diode laser applicators which are 60x60 mm in size. It has a separate RF/PEMF applicator, but this was not used in this study. There is a belt included with the system to allow for the secure attachment of the applicators to the treatment area.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| All subjects | Experimental | Not described Receives: Device: 1060nm Diode laser |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in the Percentage of Fat Thickness From Baseline to 12-weeks Post-treatment
Change in the percentage of fat thickness of the adipose layer as measured by ultrasound at 12 weeks post-treatment as compared to baseline.
Measured: Week 12
Secondary outcomes (3)
Change in Abdominal Circumference From Baseline to 12 Weeks Post-treatment
Change in the abdominal circumference at 12 weeks post-treatment as compared to baseline
Measured: Week 12
Subject Satisfaction
Subject satisfaction with treatment at 12 weeks was assessed using the 5-point Likert subject satisfaction scale. 5 is very satisfied, while 1 is very unsatisfied
Measured: Week 12
Treatment Pain
Treatment pain assessed immediately post-treatment as measured using the Wong-Baker Faces Scale. Pain was measured on a scale from 0-10 (10 worst pain ever, to 0 no pain at all)
Measured: Day 1

Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03756168, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
