This post-marketing study aimed to assess overall patient satisfaction with non-invasive fat reduction treatments targeting the abdomen and flanks. The trial involved approximately 100 participants across multiple countries, each receiving up to two CoolSculpting® treatment sessions. The primary objective was to evaluate patient satisfaction 12 weeks after the final treatment, with secondary objectives including assessments of fat volume reduction using three-dimensional photography and monitoring the frequency of adverse events. This study highlights Allergan's commitment to enhancing the effectiveness and safety of CoolSculpting® procedures through rigorous clinical research.

Compensation - How much could I get paid?

Compensation for participating in CoolSculpting clinical trials in the United States varies based on factors such as the study's duration, complexity, and location. Participants may receive payments ranging from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. For instance, some trials offer compensation up to $4,000, depending on the specific requirements and time commitment involved.
