Dissatisfied and disappointed

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I received 6 sections of cool sculpting, I followed the recommended after care guidelines to drink lots of water and increase walking, I did not lose anything from around my waist or abdomen. I was told that it could take up to 6 months and because I am a woman, results may take longer.

After the 6 months, I submitted an email to client service expressing my frustrations.

I was given 2 free sections of cool sculpting on my abdomen, and any further treatments would be at 40% discount.

The store was currently offering 50% discount, so no real discounts offered to me by client service. I accepted the offer for 2 free treatments and paid for an additional 2 more. Therefore, making it a second round of cool sculpting on my abdomen and waist.

Again, I lost nothing around my waist and or abdomen. The product is very expensive, and it does not work.

I have also used their face products for the past 2 years, including an eye cream for $300 that is to reduce the bags and circles under your eyes; however, there has been no changes.

Disgusting experience

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They are the most disgusting low lives I have ever met. They just want to steal your money and they do not even use real Botox.

That's why they are so cheap!

If you buy something from them, they will defraud you and screw you over. They have absolutely no morals and should be ashamed of themselves.

Report Them - better business bureau - cno/cpso - Ontario consumer protection - health Canada - contact ministry of health If they are injecting “fake” Botox - health Canada, or ministry of health could investigate

Cool Sculpting Guilt is Real

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives
Updated by user Jul 20, 2023

I will not consider this kind of procedure ever again.

Original review Jul 19, 2023
I had 2 Cool Sculpting Treatments on my stomach on two areas. The price, in total, was over $4000 with $3600 financed interest free over a year.

I had lost about 23 lbs in the year before the treatment, but not on my belly. I hoped the treatments would help me even out and reduce lower back pain. Nothing happened. In fact, I have lost another 20 pounds since the treatment and the treatment areas look exactly the same as they did before.

A side effect of Cool Sculpting Skin Vitality will NOT warn you about is depression. I feel stupid for believing the claims. I feel like I robbed my family of thousands of dollars. And, I have another 4 months of payments I could have used to give my children a real vacation & myself a rest.

The depression I have had for the last 9 months as a result of Cool Sculpting treatments at Skin Vitality has been terrible. What makes it worse? For several weeks after the treatments, they sent me check in emails.

When I told them the treatment made me depressed, they responded with "I'm sorry to hear you're depressed" and dropped all communication. My advice is, don't do this.

Won't respond to my refund request emails

I have called and asked to speak with someone regarding a package that I have bought, and was told to email their "patient care" email-told me it would take 3-4 days to respond. But it's been more than that and I have not received an email.

I got into a car accident, and cannot medically continue with this procedure, but I never got a response, and now I'm going to be mad if I have to cover 2 different bills, especially when I couldn't physically make it to the consultation and I haven't even started my treatments. To add more to that, previously when I was told about their laser hair removal package, I was told it only lasted until September but turns out, the receptionist lied to me, and it was an ongoing promotion according to my text messages between the receptionist and me.

Super unethical and I felt almost coerced to sign a contract, but she responded to me within minutes and when I asked for a refund (only because I physically could not) they didn't respond. I wanted to settle this privately with the company, but they aren't taking any responsibility for the care of their consumers.

Poor service. Felt taken advantage of

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Nurse was great. Super polite and friendly.

However after I left my appointment at the beginning of June I felt taken advantage of, overcharged and a bit embarrassed that I didn't advocate for myself. Nothing was offered to compensate for the fact that the Botox was uneven and never gave a smooth appearance. Even though it was apparently more than double the dosing of my previous experience. And triple the cost.

I could possibly be ok with that if the results were astounding but they were not. I will not be recommending skin vitality for Botox treatments.

Cancellation

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have given plenty of notice saying I would like to cancel the cool sculpting treatment. The clinic is saying I still have to pay which is ridiculous cause Im not even getting the treatment!

I am cancelling because I have sensitive skin and I am afraid of scarring and I had a doctor tell me this was a bad idea. So I had to cancel and I thought I was allowed to back out but now theyre saying I have to pay that amount or put it in a different treatment plan which I dont want!

If you get a Dr's note stating he doesn't want you to have this they will accept it.

Ideal Protein - the only diet that works

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I did ideal protein with skin vitality this past year and have actually kept the weight off. I have literally tried every diet, suppliment, shake, workout, etc you can imagine.

This program is the only program that has ever worked long term! Everything is done virtually which is super convenient.

Food is shipped overnight - and actually tastes really good. Anyway, if your tired of fad diets and want something that works - call skin vitality to inquire about ideal protein.Coach donna is awesome.

Lovely experience

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My experience was fantastic from booking, getting my procedure done and post treatment follow up. The reception staff were lovely and accommodating, the clinic itself is stunning (decorated to the nines!), my nurse (sherline) was so warm and knowledgeable.

Sherline and patient consultant Marie Claude walked me through the entire process and made me feel so comfortable. I had Botox for my frown lines and Belkyra for a little bit of fat reduction under my chin. It has been just a few weeks since my treatment and I am blown away by the results.

I went back for a 2 week follow-up to see sherline where she showed me my before and after photos and I couldn't believe my eyes!!! WOW

Many locations, which is convenient for me and my family. Never had any complaints about my results. I have had lip filler and Botox done and was very pleased with both! Staff are always friendly.

Long time patient

Rip off!!!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

On the initial "consultation" I was extremely clear, despite all the pressure to purchase a pkg of 3 appointments, that I wanted 1 only. I did not sign the contract, and have no appts booked.

They have charged my credit card for 2 more appointments with no authorization to do so.

Cannot get a reply from "customer service", was told on the phone to email finance. Received an automated reply, no call or response.

This is theft. Contact your bank!

I'm going through a similar situation. I've been back and forth with them. My bank is helping me with a claim. They will tell you the only way to get a refund us get a doctor's note.

Tell the bank you didn't authorize payment.

This us a dirty company. They don't care!!

WORST EXPERIENCE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Ever heard of the phrase "a wolf in sheep's clothing"? Well, you're looking at one right here.

Skin Vitality is as bad as they come. They act all kind and accommodating as if they truly care about your needs and concerns, but allow me to make this very clear, THEY DO NOT. This company is nothing but MONEY HUNGRY, CON ARTIST filth that uses deceptive marketing tactics and misleading information to lure you into signing a contract, and once you do this, YOU'RE *** Thousands of your hard-earned money down the drain. They will not give you a refund for their mistakes, and instead will ignore your concerns and blame it for being too soon to see results and recommend other services.

My experience was 1.

Being tricked into paying for a service that I understood to be FOUR coolsculpting sessions but was actually ONE session; their response: "4 applicators are sometimes called 'sessions' which, yes, can be confusing." 2.

Told by their staff during my session that their machines are faulty and do not function at full capacity; their response was? NONE.

They will not take accountability for any of this and insist on their no refund policy.

Lied to me by promising results!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Was offered another cool sculpting session and the results have stayed the same. NOTHING HAS CHANGED yet, and I am waiting to hear back from them.

I will not let them take my hard-earned money for no results! If I have to go to the media, I will. This is just wrong of them to promise results (blatant lies) when they don't work.

I will not let this go! Shame on them!!!

I am as well going through this. I have involved my bank.

When sv says to contact them they will tell you sorry. Nope. Get a Dr's note. If the dr says no letter then you need to contact your bank or the BBB, or Consumer Affairs, ripoffreport, complaints board.com, consumer reports.com and more.

Better yet, a class action lawsuit.

This Company has so much unrefundable money and will not return it. Shameful!

Horrible filler job

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Run far away from this company who relies and sales and commission and doesn't really care about the customer. It's all about the sales.

They will tell you what they think you need, oversell the service only to find out the next day that they never addressed your initial concern.

I had such a horrible filler job there that I still have pain in my jaw for over a month with their *** job. There are plenty of reputable companies out there that care about the consumer - Skin Vitaltiy just cares about the dollars they can get out of you.

They will tell you no Marion. You need to go above them!

They tell u to reach out to them and say sorry, you signed a piece of paper that says you can only have more work done instead of a refund. They're making it look like they care.

Filler

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Buyer beware. Filler injected that has left me in pain and didnt address my initial concerns.

Push expensive procedures that do not work. Horrible customer service when you do complain. Not a member of better business bureau.

There are more reputable companies out there. Run away as fast as you can from this company.
