An Open-label, Single-center, Prospective Evaluation of a Novel Noninvasive Ultrasound Body Sculpting Device.

ABSTRACT: Objective: The goal of this study was to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of the SlimME™ (Lumenis AB, Lumenis, Israel) ultrasound device for noninvasive body contouring. Design: This was an open-label, single-arm, exploratory study. Participants: Twenty adult patients presenting with subcutaneous target region adipose fat thickness greater than 2.5cm were included in this study. Measurements: Responses to a single treatment session with the ultrasound device were assessed. Change from baseline in abdominal circumference was evaluated at one, two, and three months posttreatment. Before and after treatment, the physician scored improvements, patients completed a self-improvement assessment questionnaire, and photographs were evaluated by three blinded reviewers.
