Epione Center, Dr. Simon Ourian, dishonest liar, deceptive advertising big ripoff stay away or risk losing $$$$$, Beverly Hills California

I went to see Dr. Simon Ourian because he said he had this machine called the coolbeam laser. Before the procedure, I was shown before and after pictures. I was really excited and happy because I've had these stretch marks for 20 years and I was ready to get rid of them. He made me sign this contract mainly to cover his butt. I paid $5000 plus for creams that he said I needed. The procedure was excruciatingly painful.

The laser feels like you're being snapped with a whip. It was specially painful because he used it on my breasts and I could feel the snapping on my nipples. Since I flew in from another state I had to rent a car and I couldn't even drive from the pain. Anyway he told me to come back every month for 3 months.

After the first treatment I didn't notice any difference. I expressed my concern the second time I was there and he just kept saying give it time it'll get better. Your body will start producing collagen and the stretch marks will go away. Nothing. I went the last time and again the same thing. Seven months have gone by and my body looks the same, no difference.

I asked him to refund my money and all he offered me was another treatment. I didn't go back because after 3 treatments I should have seen some results and plus it's very painful for days after that. His place smells like human skin burning.

I've written 3 letters and he has chosen to ignore me and he refuses to return my money.
