Percentage of Pre-treatment Images Correctly Identified.Primary· Baseline and 16 weeks post-treatment
Change in the treated vs. untreated areas will be assessed by observation of changes in surface contour and/or fat volume by an independent photo review of pre-treatment and post-treatment images of the treated areas. Reviewers will be practicing dermatologists or plastic surgeons. All reviewers will be blinded to post-treatment vs. baseline untreated area. The order in which images will be presented will be randomized; for each subject placement of the baseline, pre-treatment image will be randomized for each pair of subject images. Reviewers will be asked to select the baseline photos for ea

Change in the Fat Layer of the Treated Area as Measured by UltrasoundSecondary· 16 weeks post-treatment
Change in the fat layer thickness will be calculated by comparison of pre-treatment and 16 week post-treatment ultrasound measurements taken in the area treated with the device, and in the adjacent untreated control area. The Sponsor's standardized techniques for obtaining ultrasound imaging will be used. Overall fat layer thickness changes were normalized for each subject by subtracting the change in control (untreated area) from the change in treated area to remove the influence of weight variations. Success is defined as, on average, at least a 1mm or greater reduction in fat layer thicknes

Subject SatisfactionSecondary· 16-weeks post treatment
Subject satisfaction with the Zeltiq procedure as determined by the results of a subjects satisfaction questionnaire at the 16 week follow up visit. The questionnaire is composed of a 5-point Likert scale questions, as well as free text responses. Subjects will be asked to determine overall satisfaction with the treatment. The choices will be 1) very unsatisfied; 2) somewhat unsatisfied; 3) neither unsatisfied or satisfied; 4) somewhat satisfied; 5) very satisfied.

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov
Time frame: Adverse event data were collected from the time of enrollment through the 16-week follow-up visit, approximately 5 months..
Reporting threshold: 0%.
Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.
The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of the Zeltiq CoolSculpting System using various treatment parameters for non-invasive reduction of subcutaneous fat in the lateral thighs.
