Objective: The Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of the apollo™ device for non invasive treatment of excess
fat manifested by circumference reduction.
Method: 37 healthy female patients in three clinics underwent sessions of TriPollar™ treatments using the
apollo™. The treatment was performed in the body at a week interval between sessions. Results were assessed
using photographs and circumferential measurements.
Results: Significant reduction in body circumferences was observed following the treatment period. The
average circumferences reduction in main body areas (abdomen, buttocks, thighs), was 3.6 ± 2.4 cm with a
maximum reduction of up to 10.5 cm in the abdomen. No adverse events were recorded during the evaluation
period.
Conclusion: The apollo™ powered by TriPollar™ technology is a safe and effective procedure for the
