LOU LAW l A Personal Injury Firm

07/11/2024

My Friends,

I want to share with a podcast video where I was interviewed about the dangers of Cosmetic Procedures. As you may know my law practice focuses on Cosmetic Procedure Injuries and over the years I have seen many sad and scary cases.

In this podcast, which I hope you take the time to watch, I share with you a story about CoolSculpting, a popular body contouring procedure with a very serious side effect called Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia.

I also talk about other problems in the med spa industry that I am seeing through my practice.

Please share this video with your friends!

Today, we uncover the critical risks associated with CoolSculpting. Joining us is Louiza Tarassova, a Florida-based lawyer specializing in cosmetic procedure...

Unlicensed Practice of Medicine by Facial Specialist at Med Spas

You may be surprised to know that as a Florida attorney specializing in cosmetic procedure injuries many of my cases are not against licensed healthcare providers. In fact, the majority of the lawsuits I file on behalf of my clients who suffered injuries from botched cosmetic procedures are against defendants practicing medicine without a license, such as cosmetologist, massage therapists, electrologists, and facial specialist. The problem that I see daily in my practice is dangerous technologies, such as body contouring and laser hair removal medical devices, end up in the hands of inexperienced and untrained personnel who do not understand the serious risks of using the devices.

I was recently featured in a podcast about the case I have been litigating for the past two years. The investigative journalist responsible for this report, Basia Cummings, told the story in a superb way. Listening to it brought up a lot of feelings in me because I am so close to this case but overall I was in awe at how well she told this story. I hope you take the time to listen to it because it is a stellar piece of journalism. The podcast is produced by Tortoise Media in London, England. They have other very nice podcasts about timely and relevant issues.

Eyelash Growth Serum Lawsuit

There are many eyelash growth serums currently on the market that promise to grow your lashes and make them appear darker and more beautiful. You may even have friends that have used these products, resulting in truly a miraculous effect. Unfortunately, the same ingredients that make your eyelashes grow can also cause serious and permanent eye problems.

Med Spas Without Medical Pros

I want to address a very disturbing trend that I am seeing emerge in the medical spa world. Patients are being treated by unqualified office staff at medical spas, with no supervision by any medical professionals.

Injecting Too Much Filler = Liability

First of all, I want to start by saying that I personally think that injectable cosmetic procedures are great. Botox and Dysport can effectively relax wrinkle-prone areas of the face and give eyebrows a slight and happy lift. Dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane (or any other brand name) can dramatically enhance lips and fill deep wrinkle lines. If done correctly and with utmost care, injectables can keep both men and women looking young and feeling great about the aging process. Injectables can also creatively solve many cosmetic concerns (such as filling deep acne scars) without the need for invasive plastic surgery.

Over-selling units of injectable product leads to injuries.

Low Medical Bills Do Not Mean Small Personal Injury

I have had substantial success in securing high personal injury settlements in cases with low medical bills. But even when the injury is unarguably substantial, it is a challenge to get the defendant or the insurance carrier to see the value of the case. I am also aware that many personal injury attorneys are reluctant to take cases where the economic losses (hospital bills, wage losses, etc.) are low or non-existent. In fact, I have had several clients come to me for help with their serious personal injury cases after the big firms passed on them because of “low medicals.”

Low medical bills in a personal injury does not mean low compensation. Our Florida personal injury attorney fights hard for seriously injured clients.
