It’s concerning how Ashley Black sued users who shared negative experiences with the FasciaBlaster. Taking legal action against real customers only fuels distrust. Even if some claims were exaggerated a wellness brand should respond with care, not censorship. This approach makes it feel like the company values its image more than the wellbeing of its users

I tried the FasciaBlaster after seeing all the hype online but the results were nothing like advertised. Instead of cellulite reduction, I ended up with bruises and soreness. What’s worse is that complaints about injuries seem to get dismissed or deleted from her social pages. For a multimillion-dollar wellness brand, the lack of transparency and accountability is really worrying. It feels more about marketing than actual health outcomes
