Dear doctor,
please help!
In [name removed], I payed dear money for laser hair treatment which included laser, serenoa products and minoxidil. Now I’m taking the hair studio to small claims tribunal for refund, because they told me the success comes in 85% cases and that I had great chances…
I’m immigrant in this country but like to invest in myself, so I can’t say goodbye to this money.
Unfortunately, now that I investigated it a little bit, I found the figures are different, but how do I present material on tribunal? Where do I find a person, an expert who can say what is realistic success rate with minoxidil, with laser (if it can be taken into account at all…)?
Please advise me where to seek for expert opinion and facts that can be used at court? Do you have any experience? Please help us protect ourselves from these marketing sharks.
Best regards and thanks in advance
Best go to the consumer protection agency in your government, which often protects people from false advertising, as that is their job. In California, this agency is active, but they generally do not like to take on the quest of individuals unless you can prove false advertising/promotion. I do not know where you could find an expert in your region, however.
Minoxidil does work in some people and the 2% solution can regrow some hair in about 30% of male patients with genetic hair loss (see health-cares.net for more).
