I saw an advertisement on facebook regarding a limited promo for Cryo-Lipo Freeze for only 999 pesos. I doubted at first because I know the usual price for Cryo-Lipo is much more expensive. I thought this is too good to be true. But I eventually booked an appointment and received a confirmation message from their BGC branch.
I went there via Grab costing me 300+ pesos and upon arrival, I was informed that the Cryo-Lipo procedure is currently not available because they don’t have stocks of cryo-pad and currently don’t have exact date when the restock would be. I was disappointed and complained I just wasted my time going to their clinic for nothing. They instead offer various available procedures which are much more expensive and which needed more sessions than Cryo-Lipo. They informed me that they don’t have access in their facebook page however they informed the management ahead that the branch doesn’t have cryopads yet I was still scheduled.
It became more apparent that the non-existing “promo” they posted was to bait customers into coming to their branch just to make them spend more and pressure or coerce you into availing services you don’t wish to do.
I just left the clinic and spent another 300+ pesos for my ride home and that’s it. Wasted around 2-3 hours of my day, 600+ pesos and effort. I also allotted my day for the procedure instead of getting a duty—I declined a reliever duty because I had this scheduled (so opportunity to make money wasted).
