Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the intervention of radiofrequency technology can help treat abdominal fat hypertrophy and skin laxity in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are

* Does radiofrequency technology lower the abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue height by ultrasound measurement?
* Does radiofrequency technology improve abdominal circumference data and lower the number of times participants need to use a rescue inhaler.

Researchers will compare the treatment side to the non-treatment side to see if radiofrequency technology works to treat abdominal fat hypertrophy and skin laxity?

Participants will:

* Accept the treatment of radiofrequency technology every week for 10 weeks.
* Visit the clinic 1 month and 3 months after the treatment ends for checkups and tests.
