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
