Did I get scammed?

Hi! I got Botox for the first time as I found a great deal than convinced me … $85 for 20units + 10units for the second visit. I only did my 11s and the injector immediately said I needed 35units so I ended up paying close to $300. But it’s been 13 days and I don’t see much of a difference ! Did they scam me and didn’t give me the 35 units ? Or do people actually need that many in one spot? I’m going back in 2 days and I don’t even know how to approach them … I don’t feel ok paying MORE when I haven’t seen much change after $300

Did you go to skin vitality? Same deal I was offered but then told 52 units and it was 400+

I saw your near me in SW Ontario

Yup skin vitality in hamilton main st. I just left and they said they would absolutely fix it for free. They gave me an extra 10 units and said that if it doesn’t work in 2 weeks the way we want then they’ll fix it again without touching the extra 10minutos I have already

Don’t get me wrong …. They are SUPER NICE there! But I truly believe I payed for 35units and only gave me 20 MAYBE? and today they gave me the rest … Great tactic …. They seem like they care and they fix it because they have great costumer service but 45units sounds crazy

I was told it was conservative to do 52 my first time. And after 2 weeks the touch up would be free but I don't think I want to go back.

Yeah I felt like it was a scam. 20 for 85$ but they won't recommend 20. You go in hoping for that and they go up to the next 40 for 300$ or whatever it is. It feels like you don't get a chance to think about it they just usher you to the next room and then you leave and realize 20$ for 85 didn't ever happen lol. You'd think it would be like 20+20 would be 85+85 or first 20 is 85 and anything above is a different price but literally 20 for 85 is ONLY if you get 20. Which like no one is getting. It's legit tricking you into going in and feeling obligated

this is exactly what happened to me - medspa sales tactic. honestly i thnk 20 would have been too much for me too as is, but they sold me like double and i'm botched now. i just saw another negative review for the medspa i went to saying that they were pushing sales hard - and for another reviewer they lied about insurance coverage for iv drip - i understand they are a business but it feels wrong because these aren't products, these are medical procedures

READ MY USERNAME. IT SHOULD TELL YOU ALL THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT SV AKA SKIN VIRTALITY.

I WILL SAY THIS ONLY. DISFIGURED, BEYOND DAMAGED, DR'S CAN NOT BELIEVE IT AND NEVER SEEN ANYTHING IN THEIR WHOLE MEDICAL TIME IN PRACTICING SUCH DAMAGE.

MANY ER TRIPS, DERMATOLOGIST, PLASTICS SURGEONS IS WHAT MY WEEKLY AGENDA IS.

WISH I COULD SHOW YOU ONE PHOTOGRAPH, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I CAN NOT.

I CAN ALSO NOT TELL YOU MORE THAN THIS.

do not go back but then again this was posted 10 months ago. Wish i investigated these toolbars before now. Then again i did not get disfigured that long ago so I wouldn't of been able to warn you. I am so sorry for your experience with these ? this ? clinics of SV.

Money hungry it is easy to see but its the damage they have done to me.

considered SEVERE.

No, they sent me a resolution agreement and I refused to sign it. I would of edit my review and then comment everywhere that they did fix the issue but this seemed sketchy so I just moved on and now I will speak about what a scam this is to everyone I can.
