“Advanced lipodissolve (fig.) has to be stopped...”

Have you had any results with getting the refund? I am going in Friday for my "refund consultation" and they say it can take up to 60 days. If you haven't gotten your refund, please let me know how far you got in the process...I have a name and number you can call to get going on it.

I started LD (now known as fig.) in November. My friend and I went in for a consultation and both signed up for 3 areas. I feel bad now cause I talked her into doing it. I started out with the 1 area in my first treatment, then moved up to two for the other treatments. I had horrible side effects. I would have to schedule my treatments for Friday after work and I would be down for the whole weekend every time I went for treatments. The discomfort and swelling would get so bad that I would have to take pain meds to take the edge off.

When we first went in, we were told that we would see results after the 2nd treatment. At our third treatments I was told that it was usually during the break between the third and fourth treatments that you started seeing results. At my fourth treatment I was told it could take up to 6 treatments to see results. At that point I had gained 6 pounds and told the nurse I was not satisfied. I was told that the company could do nothing for me until I finished treatements. This is despite the fact that every time I went in I told them how hard it was for me to get the treatments and the extreme side effects I suffered from. I made the decision to continue because I had invested so much time and pain that I knew only a couple more treatments and I could get a refund if it didn't work.

My fifth treatment came and they put in double the meds in my lower abs. I didn't know you could do that until I went in for my fourth treatment and had that done then too. I was told that sometimes you could see faster results. During my fifth treatment the needles hurt really bad. I kept saying that it hurt far worse than normal, the nurse insisted she was doing nothing different and continued. I went home to bed as usual. Within one hour I had hives covering my entire body. My sister came to take me to the ER and by the time we got there my hearing was affected because the hives were in my ears and the allergic reaction was so severe that the hives clumped together and engrossed parts of my body. I spent the evening at the ER and have spent this past week on steroids for the hives. This was last Friday night.

What I realized Friday night is that since I have started LD I have been suffering from random breakouts of hives. I have sensitive skin, and I am allergic to a couple meds so I've had hives before, but usually you know right away what you did differently to cause them. This time I couldn't figure out what was breaking me out. I missed 2-1/2 days of work, had medical expenses, and took I don't know how much Benedryl for these crazy breakouts. They were massive hives, too, not just little ones. My doctor and I chalked it up to stress as the stress at my job had increased greatly. But I figured it out Friday night at the ER. The first treatment I had no hives because it was only one are. It wasn't until after a week after the second treatment that I had my first reaction. Because the meds stay in your body, my body continued to react to the medicine. It wasn't until Friday (which the double meds and probably placement of the meds causing the severe allergic reaction) that I could definitively tie the hives to the LD - before that I hadn't even considered it!

Saturday morning I called LD and told them about my reaction. They scheduled an appointment for me on Monday to go in. Then a couple hours later I got a call saying that I didn't need to go in, that I needed to call someone else (who turns out is the head or pres of client relations). I called on Monday and left a message. Tuesday I got a call from another party who said I needed to schedule an appointment. She tried to tell me that I had almost finished my treatments and I quickly cut her off and reminded her that I still had a third area that I hadn't started and had been experiencing medical issues the whole time but was told I had to continue. She didn't say anything else. I have an appt on Friday at noon, and I cannot wait to tell them what I think. To date, outside of the medical issues raised above, I have gained 7 pounds (this is per LD weigh-ins at every appt) with zero results.

Remember at the beginning of my story I said that the time when my friend and I would be seeing results kept getting longer? I have her as a witness (and sounds like the promote those false results a lot)...she is also going for a refund. She's gained weight same as I and no results (she didn't not have medical issues like I did though - I know my reaction was atypical).

I'm thinking, class-action lawsuit??? False claims of results, pressure to purchase the package with promise of quick results, being encouraged to continue with treatments despite adverse side effects.....there has to be something that can be done about this company. I know if they do not give me a refund (and I even have photographs of my hives along with medical docs) then I am consulting an attorney – and I’m considering that even if they do give me the refund.
