Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The evaluation of change in structure of subcutaneous tissues between pre-treatment and post-treatment based on MRI imaging in both study groups.	The evaluation of structural changes of subcutaneous tissues between pre-treatment and post-treatment based on MRI imaging through measurements of the thickness of subcutaneous tissues	4 months
Primary	The evaluation of change in adipose and muscle layer thickness.	The evaluation of change in adipose and muscle layer thickness between pre-treatment and post-treatment based on hip circumference measurements.	4 months
Secondary	Patient's satisfaction with study treatment measured via questionnaires	To determine the patient's satisfaction with study treatment. The 5-point Likert scale Satisfaction questionnaire will be used to evaluate the participant's satisfaction with the therapy outcome.
