Intention to gain or lose ≥ 2 BMI units during the 12-month study period. Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any component of the device or ultrasound coupling gel. History of chronic drug or alcohol abuse or opioid dependence. Recent aesthetic procedures to the lower face, submentum, or neck that may confound study outcomes (e.g., fillers, neurotoxins, lasers, threads, RF, ultrasound) within the protocol-specified washout period.
