      I started receiving treatments from Light RX in September 2023. I purchased a package for fat reduction on my abdomen, thighs, and collagen production on my face and neck. The package totaled $6800. I spoke to the manager during my sessions and I told her that I wasnt seeing any results. She said give it time you should see results soon. In December my treatments were almost done and still no results. I spoke with her again in February and I told her I wasn't pleased and that I wanted a refund . She said they dont give refunds and offered me more of the same services. I feel like this company takes advantage of people and their desire to look and feel better and tells them what they want to hear. So now I have this big bill and nothing to show for it.

      I went to the Light RX in *********************, ** approximately 6 months ago for the ********. Although I have had significant problems with this treatment, due to the staff being under trained and causing additional problems with my skin that I did not have before, I am writing to complain about the office manager ******. Luccia lied and talked me into the Hydrolase, which I found out later would cause MORE pigmentation to my skin, not less. I found this out because I complained so much, that someone from "corporate" came to meet with me/take pictures and explained the various treatments. To pay for this $1,500 treatment, I used Care Credit. I have recently lost my job and I told ****** that I did NOT want to proceed with the Hydrolase. To date, I have NOT had any Hydrolase Treatments. I have gone in person and called and texted this location several times (speaking to several different people, including Luccia). The last time being 12/13/2023 at 11:53 AM informing everyone that I would like a letter to provide to Care Credit stating that I do NOT owe this amount ($1,500) so my credit is not adversely affected. I consistently get the run around from the staff at Light RX and no one ever returns my phone call. This is the worst, unprofessional experience I have had from any business. I would like a letter stating that I do not owe the $1500 or I will continue to take this further.

      I was out there in August 29,2030, they promised and guaranteed me at the reception at the time of payment that I would see results and that I would lose some weight, and the coloring tanning would work but nothing worked. I was put on two machines and they are always under staffed, very rude service and was always undermanaged when my appointments were set. They would try to set me through two sessions instead of one at a time by putting two machines to cut the process time in half instead of having two 40 minute sessions they would do both sessions in ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************** through the treatment. I've tried reaching out to the business many times to get a refund and all they do is try to defuse the situation with a discount card which I don't want at all.

      On Jan. 19, 2023, I paid 4000 dollars for fat to be removed from my belly. I signed papers online 8 times but never received any papers when I asked 3 times for them. At 2 other sessions I asked for papers but was told I would get them but never did. When I asked for my money back and complained that I did not receive 24% reduction of fat I got a letter online showing my agreement I signed. On Jan 19, 2023, I measured the fat on my body with a tape ruler. The light rx never did any measurements of this kind. The director took a digital picture and weighed me. During my treatments I only weighed one pound less. My measurements around my stomach remained the same or more. I went to the ******** light rx because I thought the machines did not work at the **** light rx. I was told I would have to buy another package. I received nothing for the money I paid and I was tricked about the paperwork.I expect at least half of a refund. Going back there would just give me no results again.

      On January 19, 2023, I paid 4000  dollars without any knowledge of the Light Rx agreement for treat *********.. If I had knowledge about the guarantee plan I would have canceled within 24 hours. On the second week's visit I was told I forgot to sign the agreement that required 8 signatures on an i pad to get treat to complete  .I asked that day and on 2 other visits for the agreements on paper. On one visit I was told they could not get into the printer room . Another time the printer was not working so I asked for the paperwork to be sent to my house by mail. I did see one paper on my email when I asked for my money back by mail with one of my signatures on it. During treat to complete I drank the water amount, ate sensibly and massaged the area. I did not know what else was on the agreements as I had not seen all the papers I signed. On the website for Light Rx it states that 24% of fat cells can be destroyed. I lost no weight.  There was no measurement before and after with a tape measurer as I conducted. In my opinion the digital pictures the director took on Jan 19. 2023, can be misleading.It is my opinion that the way the business is conducted is not ethical.

      On 11/30 I opted into a laser skin program for $4000 dollars.....I was to start on 12/6 but on 12/2 I developed a Pancreatic problem and was advised by the doctor to forgo any laser procedures. I called *********************** about the situation and she agreed to give me a full refund...It's been over a month and at first I was told it would take a few weeks because of Christmas.....In the last 4 days I have either talked to associates and they assured me my refund is coming.....Now they do not respond to any of the voice mails I have left

      I purchased a body sculpting package with LightRx ******* in July 2023 that promised to provide a very specific result. I followed the program exactly as I was instructed too, traveled 2 hours one way to participate in my sessions, and spoke in depth with various staff about what I needed to be doing. Weeks passed and I did not get the results that I paid for. Not only did the package not deliver the results that were promised, but I do believe they are altering photos in order to falsely advertise a product that they know does not work. Their staff is also always giving conflicting information, there have been several occasions where they scheduled me improperly, and their manager, ****, even agreed to give me portion of my money back if I didn't get the results. I have emailed their customer support team and I am unable to speak with anyone about these concerns at a corporate level. I just keep receiving an email back that someone will call me, but no one ever does.
