Critical (F) — Aesthetic Credibility Grade

Sona MedSpa was one of the original U.S. laser hair removal chains, with 200+ locations at peak. Filed Chapter 11 in 2008 and emerged with significantly reduced footprint. Multiple class actions on undelivered prepaid packages produced material customer harm. Legacy operations remain in select markets.
