If you are considering non-invasive fat reduction with SculpSure, you may want to read this first.
Cynosure, the company that manufactures SculpSure, has been hit with a consumer fraud class action lawsuit.
The suit alleges Cynosure misrepresented the fat removal system’s key attributes and is seeking financial damages and restitution on behalf of all individuals and aesthetic offices that purchased or leased a SculpSure platform.
Here’s everything you need to know about the SculpSure lawsuit in VA.
SculpSure Lawsuit in VA
The SculpSure lawsuit in VA was filed by a group of aesthetic centers and medical spas against Cynosure.
In addition to taking issue with Cynosure’s aggressive campaign to persuade providers to purchase SculpSure equipment costing over $200k, the suit alleges misrepresentation about SculpSure’s efficacy and promise of a “virtually painless” procedure.
Does SculpSure Really Work?
The complaint calls into question Cynosure’s claim that a single SculpSure treatment can reduce up to 24 percent of fat in the treatment area.
The plaintiffs allege that even with multiple treatments, the device is unable to produce desired fat removal.
Accordingly, they contend that the body contouring system is “effectively useless.”
Is SculpSure Painful?
The SculpSure lawsuit in VA also includes allegations that, despite Cynosure’s assurances, the procedure is not “virtually painless.”
In fact, the aesthetic centers purport that, in an effort to achieve some degree of efficacy, practitioners have to increase SculpSure settings to an intolerable level.
Does SculpSure Require Anesthesia?
Although patients are supposed to be able to complete a SculpSure treatment without the need for anesthesia, the plaintiffs say that this is not the case.
Upon upping the device’s energy levels to increase the chance of results, they allege that SculpSure causes the patient “intolerable pain.”
To the extent that the treating physician is required to stay with the patient throughout the entire treatment to ensure safety and comfort.
