Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Statistically significant reduction of abdominal fat thickness determined with ultrasound	To gather clinical evidence that BTL-785F system equipped with BTL-785-1 applicator is able to provide statistically significant reduction of at least 1,5 cm at the 3-months follow-up compared to baseline with a minimum response rate of 65% in both abdominal circumference and fat thickness.	5 months
Secondary	Evaluation of the safety of the BTL-785F device with BTL-785-1 applicator for non-invasive lipolysis and circumference reduction of the abdomen	At every treatment visit after the first, prior to the procedure, the participants will be assessed for adverse effects resulting from the previous treatment(s) with the BTL-785F device.; Safety measures will include documentation of adverse events (AE) during and after the procedures.	5 months
Secondary	Assessment of the participants' satisfaction from the therapy measured via standard questionnaire	Minimum 80% of treated subjects to report satisfaction (level satisfied and higher) with the therapy;	5 months
