This company preys on people wanting to look a few years younger!! They have a beautiful office and friendly staff. Its all being maintained by the ripoff scam they are running!! They are only after your hard earn money. They recommend procedures and buys time by saying it takes about a year to see complete results. When you see no results after a year and you get concerned about the amout of money spent, they try to offer "free" additional services in an attempt to buy additional time. Then when that does not work, Patrick get's involved and blames and try to intimidate you. Stay away from this company!!!

Elaborate Advertising/Rip Off Scam:
You will recall the following just like me after the fact more than likely unless you did not receive a flyer in the mail encouraging you to come in with a high price discount.
1) NO FRILLS flyer received in the mail promising an astronomical discount (THE DISCOUNT IS A SCAM/BOGUS) 45%-65% off.
Cheap photos and paper. Just like the staff he hires. Look on his video website. All young dark haired women who don't make more than $40,000 a year if they are lucky! My plastic surgeon and dermatologists office feel nothing like this place.
2) You can tell he is a scam artist because he's willing to cheapen HIS BRAND/IMAGE these flyers make him look NO FRILLS!
3) A plastic surgeon or dermatologist (doctor) who offers laser treatments would never cheapen his image like this and offer such a high discount. A guy who hires a bunch of laser people would!! He commands the money a doctor asks for and more and like me hundreds get no results and he pockets the money gladly without blinking and eye or an ounce of conscience about it.
4) Show before & after photos to give you false hope in flyer to suck you into his office. How do I know this? What he writes in his disclaimer!!
5) Hidden in disclaimer on the bottom of the flyer in small white letters (What an honorable guy!!! 91% of people do not read disclaimers studies show) he states in so many words the before and after pictures are taken from several sources and are for illustrative purposes ONLY! Little does the SNAKE realize that he's screwing himself when he uses that word because by definition the word "illustrative" means "to show a step by step outcome of something" to illustrate how you got to the outcome. And he uses the word "ONLY" so he contradicts himself.
6) He says he's #1 laser facility in NY but yet there is a complaint from a woman in her 70s about no results under her chin for $8,000 loss and a woman on the BBB website who just had a baby $8,000 loss and he refuses to feel any compassion and refund their money. It costs him for 7 treatments for face and body packages $30 per hour for his girl to do the treatment. It costs him $210 for his girl and he makes $7,790 EVEN WITH NO RESULTS. THIS BORDERLINES pathological! You of course don't figure all this out until after he's anywhere between $7,000 and $10,000 out of you with no results.
7) Don't tell you that these procedures are for people who are slightly overweight who are looking for sculpting or toning. It will not help overweight people and any results for both type of people will be temporary.
8) Adrienne in my case is caughting Price Anchoring/Riggin. She quote the original price of $9,800 for Vellashape III and $8,800 for Thermage CPT on eyes. All pricing on internet I find in NY for after I got scammed for Vellashape III are between $1,150-$3,000. She willfully and deliberately set out to deceive me with the inflated price of $9,800. I came in with a 60% discount flyer. I was confused I had several flyers at home ranging from 45, 55, 60, 65%. And I did the mathematics and it was the 60% flyer. She scammed me down to above normal price to $3,800 even with the 60% off. The Thermage CPT $8,800 original price ... I see it $2,000-$5,000 range highest.
She scammed me down from $8,800 to $3,600 with a 60% discount to the normal price everyone else was paying. SO IN BOTH CASES SHE SCAMMED ME THERE WAS NO DISOUNT SHE WAS PRICE ANCHORING/SCAMMING the original bogus price.. Lied in both case and scammed into two package deal with discount out of $7,400 in total. OUt of the 50 reviews I captured before his lawyer threatens you and sends you a Cease and Disses letter to Coerce you to shut up and take your complaint down. The most common complaint was the original price was TOO HIGH! They can't work the discount scam without the price being inflated.
9) The Sales Agreement. All rigged to make the seller money. All the buyer has is hope.
10) Non-refundable and non-cancellable. Adriene was telling me not to worry would give more treatments no matter what. She was playing the good wife while dad says you can't have something. She schemes you no verbally in none writing.
11) It cost him $30 for 6 session for the Vella $180 for his tech and he charged me $3,800. So he made $3,640 for no results off of me and $3,600 for the Thermage for $30 for the hour for the girl and made $3,570 off of me with no results.
11) Most don't know in the disclaimer on the Sales Agreement it says "You are not promised any results and you are not expecting results." WTF! I can't believe I fell for this because this girl was so welcoming and full of s**t.
WELCOME TO THE ELABORATE PERFECT BODY SCAM YOU WERE SUCKED INTO ... I AM STARTING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. Please respond to this and give me your email address and I will contact you privately. I have several women waiting to join. 3 mother daughters combinations scammed. Very very sad, a girl who was thin and lost weight and the fat pocket still didn't change, girls who took their older mothers in and got scammed out of thousands.
In my opinion this guy is a predator and he needs to be put out of business!
