Dr. Bill Johnson, Featured Expert on CBS 11 News, Interviewed About FIG

Stephanie Lucero, reporter for CBS 11, has featured Dr. Bill Johnson as an aesthetics expert in recent FIG report

Dallas, TX—March 27, 2008—Dr. Bill Johnson’s Innovations MedSpa, a leader in the medspa industry that offers many of the latest innovations in the U.S., has been featured on CBS news on March 24, 2008.

Stephanie Lucero’s report is titled “Woman Suffering After Weight-Loss Injection.” Former clients say a company promised to help them lose inches all with a simple injection. But for many, all they’ve been left with are serious health issues and debt.

“I think they misrepresented their product by saying it was painless and doesn’t have any side effects,” said Dr. Bill Johnson.

Dr. Johnson said he is now seeing dozens of former Fig patients, many who reported having medical problems since receiving the injections.

“With LipoDissolve, that fat had nowhere to go but into your circulation,” Dr. Johnson said. “And what does that do? No one knows.”

The procedure used by Fig is known in the medical world as Mesotherapy, according to Dr. Johnson. He said it does work for a limited number of people, but there’s no guide for who will benefit and who won’t.
