About this study

UltraShape® Contour I V3 system is a non-invasive (not breaking the skin) focused ultrasound for body contouring purposesdesigned to selectively disrupt sub-dermal fat cells employing focused ultrasound. All other types of tissue, such as blood vessels, muscles and peripheral nerves, remain intact. There are no thermal effects. Fat-cell destruction is achieved by ultrasound-induced mechanical effects during a very short exposure time.

VelaShape is a non-invasive device for Body Reshaping and Cellulite Treatment. VelaShape combines controlled infrared (IR) light and conducted bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energies with mechanical manipulation.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Fat thickness of at least 1.5 cm in the anterior abdominal and flanks prior to initial treatment (measurement by caliper)
  • For women of child-bearing potential: negative pregnancy test in the 24 hour period prior to enrollment and 24 hour period prior to each treatment or FU visit (measured in urine)
  • General good health confirmed by medical history and skin examination of the treated area
  • Written informed consent to participate in the study
  • Ability to comply with the requirements of the study
  • BMI≤ 30

Exclusion criteria

  • History of hypertension, ischemic heart disease, valvular heart disease, congestive heart failure, pacemaker/defibrillator, abdominal aortic aneurism
  • Current hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, hepatitis, liver disease, HIV positive status, blood coagulopathy or excessive bleeding, autoimmune or connective tissue disease or malignancy
  • Previous liposuction in the treatment areas
  • History of skin disease in the treatment area, known tendency to form keloids or poor wound healing
  • Skin lesions in the treatment area other than simple nevi on physical examination (e.g., atypical nevus, tattoo, abrasions) including depressed scars in the treatment area
  • Poor skin quality (i.e., laxity)
  • Abdominal wall diastasis or hernia on physical examination
  • Abnormal kidney, liver or coagulation functions, abnormal lipid profile or blood count within the last 3 months
  • Obesity (BMI > 30)
  • Childbirth within the last 12 months or women who suckling a child
  • Any acute or chronic condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, could interfere with the conduct of the study
  • Unstable weight within the last 6 months (i.e., ± 3% weight change in the prior six months)

  • Previous body contouring treatments in the treatment areas

Treatment and study plan

Ultrashape

Device

All subjects receive 3 successive Ultrashape treatments every two weeks in the anterior abdomen.

Velashape II

Device

All subjects receive 3 successive Velashape treatments every two weeks in the anterior abdomen.

Other names: Vela, Velashape

Primary outcomes

  1. Difference in circumference reduction between baseline and follow-up visits

    Time frame: Base line, 2 and 12 weeks post last treatment

    The primary efficacy endpoint in this trial is the statistical difference in circumference reduction between Control (baseline measurement, Vist 2 / Day 0) and two points of follow-up measurement: 2 weeks (Visit 5 / Day 42) and 12 weeks (Visit 8 / Day 112) following the last Tx session. The following procedure will be used to compute the Circumference Difference primary endpoint:

Secondary outcomes

  1. Adverse Events

    Time frame: The duration of the study, an expected average of 5 months.

    Safety will be evaluated based on the incidence and severity of adverse events caused by the treatments

Other outcomes

  1. Subject Satisfaction Scores

    Time frame: 2, 4, 6, 8,10 and 12 week in a study.

    Subject Satisfaction Scores using the Global Aesthetic Improvement (GAI) Scale at each treatment and follow-up time point post treatment: 2 week, 4 week, 6 week, 8 week, 10 week and 12 week in a study.
