- Conditions
- Subcutaneous Fat
- Being tested
- Diode Laser, YAG laser
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Diode LaserDevice
Diode Laser for treatment of subcutaneous fat
YAG laserDevice
YAG laser for treatment of subcutaneous fat
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Diode Laser Treatment Before Abdominoplasty | Experimental | Patient will be treated with Diode Laser prior to abdominoplasty. Receives: Device: Diode Laser |
| YAG Laser Treatment Before Abdominoplasty | Experimental | Patients will be treated with YAG prior to abdominoplasty Receives: Device: YAG laser |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Biopsy of Tissue Samples as a Measure of Effectiveness
Biopsy of treated area will be obtained up to 5 months post treatment and will be histologically assessed for changes in adipocytes and surrounding tissue to determine effectiveness of device.
Measured: 5 months post treatment
Ultrasound Measurement to Evaluate Reduction of Fat
Ultrasound of the treatment area will be performed and evaluated in comparison to baseline results to determine reduction of the subcutaneous fat layer.
Measured: 5 months post treatment
Secondary outcomes (1)
Lipid level blood testing to evaluate changes post treatment
Blood testing will be performed to evaluate changes in lipid levels post treatment
Measured: 5 months post treatment

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Biopsy of Tissue Samples as a Measure of Effectiveness (time frame: 5 months post treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Oct 2020.
