Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Average Change in Inches of Total Circumference Measurements [ Time Frame: 2 weeks ]
    Average Change in Inches of Total Circumference Measurements for effect of Cellulize, a LED 532nm green light low level laser system for aesthetic use for the non-invasive reduction in fat layer for body contouring from baseline measurements, and after treatment.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Durability of Effect [ Time Frame: 2 weeks ]
    Durability of Effect: a term used to indicate whether the results of the primary outcome endure at the 2 week follow up time point. If the average change in inches of total circumference continues decreasing or stays the same, then the durability of effect is assumed to endure for at least two weeks. If the measurements at the 2-week time point show that the changes in inches return to previous measures at the start of treatment, then the effect is considered temporary.

  2. Change in appearance of cellulite [ Time Frame: 2 weeks ]
    Change in appearance of cellulite is a measure of the Nurnberger-Muller Scale (NMS) from baseline to 2 weeks post-assessment for both of the right and left thighs.
