CoolSculpting Treatment in the Upper Arm

Experimental group

Description:

Subjects in the study were treated with the CoolSculpting System with one of two vacuum applicator types for bilateral fat reduction in the upper arms. Applicators were used concurrently, with an applicator on each arm. Each subject received 1 or 2 cooling cycles on each arm for 35 minutes at protocol-defined temperatures. The Investigator selected the applicator for each subject based on the intended fat volume of the treatment area.
