Ruined my body!

I went into Sona Med spa to look into skin tightening above my knees. During my consult I was told that skin tightening would be the best choice. They told me that i would need to do the entire front of my thigh...and then began to recommend doing the back of the thigh to make things even. Then they told me that I should tighten the buttocks and get a lift. Who wouldn't want to lift their butt? It made sense but it was awefully expensive. I was nervous. I thought back to a skin tightening treatment I had many years ago that gave me no results. I left without committing to any treatment. For 2 weeks I was hounded, each phone call telling me about huge discounts. Finally I caved in. The day I went in I was so anxious. They assured me that I was a great candidate, even with my stretch marks. The first 3 treatments were great & I noticed great results! Treatment 5 I started to notice that my skin was sagging, i was getting saddle bags, and cellulite! I refused to continue treatments, afraid it would make it worse. The insisted to complete the 9 treaments. I did and I am horrified!

They were open to listening to my complaints but it fell upon deaf ears. They refused to help remedy the problem or refund my money. I will be paying 2 years for a procedure that botched my body. They just don't care about customer satisfaction. Nowhere was it stated that the procedure could cause this type of problem. If it did i would have run the other way!!! PLEASE DO NOT RISK IT! Of course they only post the very best and not the average results.

wow! I am shocked! The only thing I can think is that the heat/waves penetrated and destroyed the tissue that supports the fat under the skin! I would contact a lawyer.

I am really Shocked also! How are you now? I had 5 treatments of Venus Legacy on my waist and stomack And I gave up. It also put all that area really worst. I had fat on that area but well distributed And after the 3rd treatment I noticed that the fat was beeing pushed all for the front and for each side of my waist. Now it looks horrible!!! The clinic said that each body reacts in different ways. Different ways? Does anybody wants to have the fat as I got??? Does any of you knows I long this effects will last? I am on gym but this fat doesn’t reduces... Thank you.

I did. They told me that I had a case if I can prove malpractice, that they misused the equipment and that caused me bodily harm. I wanted to go a different route and go after them for not disclosing that this could be a possible result. Apparently I didn't have a case. Sona did refund me some of my money but not all of it. Imean, really? You ruin my body and give me a partial refund.

It has been a year and a half now and it looks like it is getting worse, even with diet and exercise. I lost a few pounds hoping it would help but it doesn't. I hope things work out for you!

The back of your thighs needed no tightening. I am appalled that they suggested that! It is always a red flag when you are hounded with calls of discounts. It's snake oil salesmanship.

I contacted the same chain (Sona) about CS and was immediately turned off by the high-pressure sales techniques mentioning huge discounts but only if I called by a certain time.

I had to ask a couple of times for them to stop contacting me.

I hope things improve for you.

Omg! I can’t believe that happen. I have a friend she did 3 treatments on her arms and she look so good! I’m contemplating to get it in my back. Now I’m nervous

It’s because you lost fat, they didn’t tighten the skin

Since i stoped Venus Legacy, i have being in the gym almost every day, but i can asure you that i am getting better but the belly is still pushed to the front as it stayed after the ‘treatment’ in the clínic. I wish i have never went there!
