Lawsuit brought against Illinois hair regrowth institute

From what I gather, a hair laser and snake oil sales clinic promised results in 6 months and offered a full money-back guarantee, of which they decided to conveniently disregard. They also falsely claimed that their laser was FDA Approved (in fact, none of the hair lasers are “Approved”). Now they’re being sued for the cost of the services plus $50,000 for each violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act.
