Fig the company files for bankruptcy who offered lipodissolve injections and FDA statement re:NOT approved fat injections KVBC TV

According to the www.fig.com website, that company has now closed their doors.

Here is what their website says, as of December 29 2007 -

ALSO please note that FIG branch is OPEN in Costa Mesa California as of February 10, 2008, do not know how that 1 office is staying open, if the other centers have closed? It may close soon too? Who knows? But read below and you may also want to beware -


We are sorry to report that, due to economic conditions beyond our control, fig. ceased operations on December 7, 2007. The company closed the doors of 17 of its 18 centers around the country. The only center that will remain open is the Costa Mesa, CA facility, which is an independently owned and operated center.

The company is currently consulting with counsel and will likely seek legal relief under the bankruptcy code to ensure it preserves all options including the ability to reorganize and continue operations.

Current patients undergoing treatment will be contacted by the company regarding continued treatment options or making a refund claim. Please check this web site for the latest information.


I wonder why they are no longer in business? Can current customers get a refund? Were customers happy with their results?



FDA's statement to Healthline 3 Las Vegas TV station regarding lipo-dissolve
Sep 20, 2007 02:20 PM

We are aware of the practice of using Lipo-Dissolve and are investigating and evaluating it. It is NOT FDA approved.
In fact, there are no FDA-approved drugs with an approved indication to dissolve fat and FDA cannot assure the safety and efficacy of these types of drugs.


Consumers need to know that this is a buyer-beware situation. These are unapproved drugs for unapproved uses and we can't guarantee consumers' safety

What is Ultrashape? It's great. Scrolll down to order UShape info. about a patient's experience. The research will be emailed to you for only $3.99.

Ultrashape has no needles, is painless, and it does work. And I've heard from real, happy Ultrashape customers and they are happy that they tried it. It is not lipozap. Lipozap is injections whereas Ultrashape uses ultrasound to melt fat. Ultrashape is not lipodissolve nor fig.com hope that helps you. Ultrashape is new and available in Canada and Mexico.

Well I first read about Ultrashape in Allure magazine over 2 years ago, and could not wait for the USA FDA approval! I think this may and will replace liposuction for 1000s of people who do NOT want surgery, but do want to lose a few inches. It really was painless.
IF you'd like information about a US treatment in the future in the USA, then just email the North America office for UltraShape, or click on the ultrashape.com website.

And I went to Dr Cueva in Tijuana, which is only 5 mins from the USA border. They have a 619 number that you can call from the USA, no extra fees, all their info is in my paper I can email you for free if youd like. All of the office staff are welcoming and friendly inc. Ana my nurse, she is so sweet. If you do not speak Spanish, then ask for someone who speaks English when you call. And in the office, both Adriana and Marta are great. My friends love them too.

Currently in Mexico there are Ultrashape doctor offices in Tijuana, Cancun, near Texas, Monterrey, Tiajuana, Cancun, etc.

Please email me at teresaohio@aol.com I am teacher and am busy right now but I will email it to you within a day or so. In it I have suggestions, where to go, what to ask, what to expect, a list of 16 Frequently Asked Questions and answers, it is 14 pages. I created it after I got so many of the same questions from around the globe. So instead of writing each one back from New York, London, Madrid, Toronto, Vancouver, Mexico City, Cancun, etc. I decided just to put all the info in a easy to read paper.

In my research I have a picture of what I started with, at 5'11" size 14 + stomach with flat tire.
And NOW I have a size 12 stomach, after 3 treatments, 30 days apart. It has been an amazing experience. It has been so inspiring, that 3 of my friends and I are all went down together to get an Ultrashape treatment in TJ in mid April. And they all love their results esp. since now they will NOT get liposuction! They have all lost at least 2 inches and are all thrilled. They are grateful and very happy with their results.

I went for treatment in Mexico, and went for the day from the USA border as I live in so california. Your price will be determined in person, when you go for your consult, the price depends on the SIZE of your area treated. Canada does the same, they will not give you a price over the phone as it depends on the size treated. I'd imagine $1000 per treatment. And a total of 3 sessions is reccommended, not just one treatment.

My diet

This is what I have eaten in the past 30 + days . .

1 lots of vegetables, and I do eat every 2 hours
2 chicken (lots more are listed in my research)

Questions?

If you may have specific questions about my treatment, you can email me at teresaohio@aol.com , and I will respond to your question within a few days.

My results with Ultrashape . .

Well because of Ultrashape, I can NOW get into my FAVORITE floral dress in the pic below. Due to chemotherapy and 7 surgeries from cancer in 2005/20006, I could not put this dress around my waist as I had gained a tummy from medical menopause. I was so depressed, tried the gym, tried walking hours every week, triedocbootcamp 4x, everything! And nothing would get rid of my stubborn menop. stomach fat! Nothing! So that is why I think Ultrashape will work for anyone, as it did work for this former post-menopausal, big, stubborn tummy of mine.

But now, I was lucky after researching all about Ultrashape and found my new majic wand called Ultrashape, which came to my rescue . .


and now I DO have a waist, and now in March 2007 I have lost over 4.75" inches around my waist, thanks to Ultrashape, Dr. Cueva and Ana Maria. (And to Glamour magazine who wrote about it 2 years ago, where I first learned all about this non surgical, no liposuction solution.)

And I did wear a bikini this summer, which was only a dream for me in January, as my gut was big and scary. Not anymore!! Good luck to you. In fact, I wore a bikin last month on vacation with confidence, too exciting.

This may replace liposuction for many people.
Why get cut on, when you do not have to? And why have bruises and 6 weeks DOWN time when you do NOT HAVE to? It does not make sense to have surgery if you only want to lose 2 - 4 inches from your waist.

Here are suggestions from a London doctor's office, from Dr. Inglefield, who has had many Ultrashape customers and has successfully offered Ultrashape for more than a year, so they can also be quite helpful to you too just click on the link in my research
that states -

Diet - We ask that you for 5-7 days post treatment.

Important to reduce fat intake following treatment

Drugs -

Smoking -

POST-TREATMENT Pain killers - Avoid aspirin

RESULTS Expect gradual reduction in fat over weeks post treatment. (It took me 4 weeks to see a result.)

The Londonmail and Daily Mail both have a few posts about Ultrashape, which are one of the many links listed in my research.

Here is a blog in Italy from many different people talking about Ultrashape in Italy, where to get a treatment, Dr numbers in Italy who do it, who got it and liked it, etc. the translation is not perfect mind you.

May 1, 2007

" Hi! I can't thank you enough for blogging about your experience in TJ with UltraShape! I went down there this last weekend and had it done! I actually fell asleep during the treatment a couple of times! It felt more like a hot rock massage than anything! Ana Maria spoke very fondly of you and the girls all said to say 'hi'! The directions and price quote of the taxi you gave were right on (good thing because the address did not help the taxi driver at all!) The clinic even gave us a ride back to the border! Thanks again so much! I'll keep you posted on my progress."
Take care, Erica USA
