Objective

This study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Symmed radiofrequency (RF)-based device (Termosalud Inc., Gijón, Spain) in body contouring and skin appearance improvement treatments for abdomen/flanks.

Material and methods

Eight sessions of Symmed RF were performed in 15 volunteers' abdomen/flanks. Sessions were conducted every 72/96 h. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the device, photographs, body contours, and ultrasound scans of dermal echogenicity, and adipose tissue thickness were taken at baseline and after the treatments. Additionally, a blind evaluation of the photographic results was conducted. Data regarding the satisfaction level of the participants was also obtained through a customized survey.
