The treatment areas of the study subjects will be divided into two arms:

1. Arm 1 - the upper thigh/buttock on the left or right side of the body will undergo a
single Profound treatment utilizing the Dermal and SubQ Cartridges

2. Arm 2 - the contralateral upper thigh/buttock side of the body will undergo a single
Profound treatment utilizing the SubQ Cartridge only.

Methodology described in protocol to evaluate efficacy of treatments will be carried out at
each visit.
