The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect on the subject outcome using the combination of the Zeltiq Cryolipolysis device and the Venus Concept multipolar radiofrequency device with varipulse technology for the enhanced non-surgical treatment of skin laxity in the flank area.
Commercially available as the Zeltiq CoolSculpting system, cryolipolysis is FDA cleared for use in the United States for an indication of fat layer reduction in the flanks, thighs, and abdomen through cold-assisted lipolysis. CoolSculpting has been clinically proven to non-surgically reduce subcutaneous fat bulges, allowing patients to achieve noticeable and measurable aesthetic results without the pain, expense, downtime, and risks associated with existing invasive and minimally-invasive procedures. The Zeltiq CoolSculpting System is a non-invasive device designed to cool subcutaneous fat without affecting adjacent or underlying structures.
The RF device to be used in this study is a FDA cleared device used for aesthetic non-surgical skin tightening procedures including wrinkles, skin rhytides and cellulite in the face and body. The Venus Legacy utilizes a multi-polar radiofrequency system to deliver homogenous heating to multiple tissue depths. The Venus Legacy device also utilizes pulsed magnetic field technology as well as pulsed negative pressure technology.
The flanks of Ten (10) healthy adults (male and female), 21 to 50 years of age, who desire a reduction in focal fat of the flanks will be recruited from the investigator's subject populations. Informed Consent will be obtained from each subject during a screening visit.
The photos will be taken prior to the treatment series, one week post treatment series, at 3 and 6 months post treatment series for the evaluation of two blinded reviewers as well as for the investigator to assess.

Subjects received one session of cryolipolysis treatment on both sides of their body before one side of their body was treated with multipolar radiofrequency plus varipulse technology. Each subject acted as their own control.
Ten subjects between the ages of 21 and 50 years of age, requesting a reduction in focal fat of the flanks were recruited from a single outpatient clinic.

| Overall Study |
|
Each subject received a cryolipolysis treatment to both sides of body. One side of the flank will then receive multipolar RF and PEMF with Varipulse technology and the other side will not.

| BG000 | Cryolipolysis Treatment & Cryolipolysis With Legacy | Each patient is their own control. Both flanks will be treated with cryolypolysis. The flank will be divided into two equal treatment areas where one side will receive multipolar radiofrequency with varipulse technology treatment and the other side will not. |
