Type of a scam Counterfeit Product
At a high profile conference called the Precision Medicine World Conference, 2019 at Santa Clara Conference Center, the organizer of the conference invited the scammer "Elevare Skin" to sell their products at the conference. Elevare claimed that the products were proprietary and were FDA approved in helping anti-aging, ranging from treating acne, removing scars and wrinkles, and helping regrowth of hair. The "No Botox" eye cream was sold for $300 a tube and they said that it could be used for a year and if used diligently two times a day, no Botox is required. They sold their products ranging from $300 for the cream to $4700 for the anti-aging LED skin rejuvenation device to $6000 for the LED blue light skin detoxifier. Website: https://elevareskin.com/. They preyed on the vulnerability of the age group of the attendees of the conference where most potential customers were 40 or above (especially females) and offered a "huge" discount but still a very high price per device at the conference. And the worst thing is that there is no refund policy. They make you sign a "legal document" there without giving you a copy. The next day when the customers went back to the booth of the Precision Medicine World Conference, the sales don’t allow return/refund. They merely give you a phone number of their customer service and ask you to call them. The customer service would say that there is no return as you "signed", but they could offer you more products, including more face cream or even the $6000 device. Stay away from this fake FDA-approved skin rejuvenation medical device company. Don’t trust it just because of the high profile conferences. And don’t trust the conference organizers. This conference organizer’s name is Tal Behar. The organizers have no ethics for allowing two unethical companies selling illegitimate products at a conference in a highly-regulated industry. This company has many different identities, just recognize that the LED skin rejuvenating device for wrinkles/hair is not FDA-approved (cannot find the name on the FDA list, the FDA labels and patent labels are fake on the boxes).
