    They don't make good reading. Considering they purport to be a 'Harley Street' practice, their terms are full of disclaimers, and littered with odd grammar and spelling errors.

    How many Harley Street practitioners run facebook competitions?!

    If you're sure you've complied with the many obligations you agreed to, persevere and see what you get.

    Thanks for the reply. I'll send them an email and see what they say but I don't have much hope though.

    I suppose that to qualify as a "Harley street practice", all you need is an office there, something that is very cheap and easy to set up:

    That looks a bit like 29 Harley Street mentioned here .

    No help from me regarding your refund issue but try Bio-oil on your stretch marks.
    Recommended to me by medical staff for a scar after an operation.
    Obviously I don't have a comparison but the scar is looking pretty good.
  • Okay, so I forgot that I was given a separate terms and agreement during the consultation. In that one, it says that they cannot guarantee how many sessions would yield results and that also for a small number of people they may not respond to treatment at all. That means I have no case, right?

    It would be very unusual for any medical procedure to come with an absolute guarantee of results, especially cosmetic procedures. How the human body reacts to the treatment is unpredictable and with cosmetic procedures the outcome is subjective (eg the surgeon can give a patient DD boobs but can’t guarantee they will be happy with how they look).

    You would need to investigate further and try and find evidence that the treatment doesn't actually work.

    If there is successful clients then there is no hope, if you cant find any then there is.

    A small claims action could yield results as they would have to show it actually does work on some clients.
