The approval is backed by a multicentre, randomised, sham-controlled and blind study, which showed that treatment with the LipoSonix system was superior to a sham control in reducing waist circumference.
Clinical studies conducted by Medicis Technologies demonstrated an average waist circumference reduction of approximately 2.6cm after a single treatment with the LipoSonix system.
The first generation LipoSonix system is currently available in Canada, the European Union and Japan.
