What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new non-invasive treatment called Venus Bliss, which uses laser, radiofrequency, and electromagnetic fields to reduce unwanted fat on the belly and sides. Researchers aim to evaluate how effectively this combination slims these areas without surgery. Individuals with extra fat in these spots who have not had recent surgeries there may find this trial suitable. Participants should not change their diet or lifestyle during the study. As an unphased trial, this study provides a unique opportunity to explore innovative fat-reduction methods without surgery.

Do I need to stop taking my current medications for the trial?

You may need to stop certain medications, especially if they are antiplatelet, anticoagulant, thrombolytic, or anti-inflammatory drugs, as these should not be used within 2 weeks of treatment. If you are taking medications that cause photosensitivity, you might also need to stop those. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.

What prior data suggests that this method is safe for non-invasive fat reduction?

Research has shown that the Venus Bliss treatment, which uses a special laser, is safe and generally well-tolerated. Studies indicate that just one session with this laser can effectively reduce unwanted belly fat, with only minor side effects. The device includes a cooling feature to keep the skin comfortable and safe during treatment.

The Venus Bliss system is approved for reducing fat in the belly and sides without surgery for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or less. This approval means it meets safety standards set by health authorities for this purpose. Importantly, tests have demonstrated that the system is as safe and effective as other similar devices available. Overall, Venus Bliss appears to be a safe choice for those considering non-surgical fat reduction. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

Researchers are excited about Venus Bliss for non-invasive fat reduction because it combines a 1060 nm diode laser with PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic fields) and vacuum-assisted multipolar radiofrequency (MP RF). Unlike traditional options like liposuction, which are invasive, Venus Bliss offers a non-invasive approach, reducing risks and recovery time. The innovative combination of technologies aims to enhance fat reduction by using heat and electromagnetic energy to target and break down fat cells more effectively. This multifaceted approach not only promises a more comfortable experience but also potentially delivers faster and more noticeable results compared to some existing non-invasive treatments.

What evidence suggests that this device is effective for non-invasive fat reduction?

Research shows that Venus Bliss, a non-invasive treatment, effectively reduces fat in the belly and sides. Studies have found an average reduction of about 8.55% in belly fat, with some individuals experiencing up to a 20% reduction after 12 weeks. Additionally, patients have lost up to 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) in the treated areas. Venus Bliss uses a special laser to heat fat cells, causing them to break down and be naturally removed by the body. This treatment is considered safe and effective, with the best results typically appearing three to six months after treatment. ^{4 6 7 8 9}
