Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Allocation: NA
Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The study is a prospective multi-center open-label single-arm study. The subjects will be enrolled and assigned into a single study group. Subjects will be required to complete four (4) treatment visits and four follow-up visits, 1 month, 3, 6 and 12 months after the final treatment.

At the baseline visit photographs of the abdomen will be taken. In addition, patient umbilical circumference will be measured and the subject's weight will be recorded. In addition, at the last therapy visit, subjects will receive Subject Satisfaction and Therapy Comfort Questionnaires to fill in.

Safety measures will include documentation of adverse events (AE) including subject's experience of pain or discomfort after the procedure. Following each treatment administration and at the follow-up visits, subjects will be checked for immediate post-procedure adverse event assessment.

Post-procedure evaluation (follow-up visits) will be conducted 1 month, 3, 6 and 12 months after the final treatment. Umbilical circumference and weight measure will be conducted at every follow-up visit. Also, subject's satisfaction will be noted. During the first (1 month), third (6 months) and last (12 months) follow-up visits, photographs of abdomen will be taken.
