• Acceptable forms of birth control are: oral contraceptive pill, injection, implant, patch, vaginal ring, intrauterine device/coil, double-barrier methods (e.g., sponge, spermicide, or condoms). Abstinence and/or vasectomized partner must agree to a second acceptable method of birth control (double-barrier) should the subject become sexually active.

• Mesotherapy; dermal fillers, biostimulator injectables; radiofrequency device treatments; microfocused ultrasound device treatments; laser and light-based device treatments; microneedling; cryolipolysis; high intensity focused electromagnetic energy device treatment; or surgery during the 12-month period before study treatment.
• Any investigational treatment for skin quality of the abdomen during the 12-month period before the study treatment
• Creams/cosmeceuticals and/or home therapies for the prevention or treatment of skin quality in the treatment area during the 1-month period before study treatment
• Subjects with scarring in the treatment areas, including laparoscopic or abdominal surgery scars, which in the opinion of the investigator could impact results. Subjects with a history of keloids will be excluded.
