American Laser Center reports - HEALTH-Medical Centers complaint by Sandy22
American Laser Center of Hinsdale lied to me and said they had new technology that would remove light hair from light skin - something that all the other places admitted right away could not be done. The manager told me that within 6-8 months I would be hair free and if I treated my legs as well I would never have to shave again. She roped me in on the spot with CARE CREDIT's 12 month interest free card and a $500 instant credit and of course the prospect of finally having clean arms and legs seemed worth the $5,000 price tag as long as it came with a guarantee. Well 24 months later and no results and a request for a refund was made to corporate. All techs there who treated me said I would qualify for refund. The office went through many managers during the 24 months and several of them told me I would qualify and that the manager who signed me up told many lies to many people and they were left cleaning up the mess. Not only did corporate never respond to my refund request, the complaint I filed through the BBB was never even responded to.

I am an esthetician who is laser certified. I know that certain lasers can attack lighter hair it just takes longer, i think i would have done better research before I spent $5,000. 

I have worked in a plastic surgeons office and they would never refund a laser treatment because they spent the time and money on the service already, they're like $200,000. machines!

I do not think it's fair you are saying they lied to you. I have had services done at this company and have been very satisfied. The guarantee is not a life time guarantee, it's a two year guarantee, that they will keep treating you two years after your initial treatments are finished, if you continue hair growth. They already treated you. Why would they give you money back for something you already had done?
