15. COMPLAINTS POLICY
15.1. Complaints must be submitted in writing within 48 hours.
15.2. All complaints will be investigated and reviewed.
15.3. Resolutions will be offered at the clinic’s discretion.
16. TREATMENT RESULTS & INDIVIDUAL RESPONSE
16.1. Results vary from person to person. Whilst laser hair removal is designed to achieve long-term hair reduction, 369 Laser Clinics cannot guarantee permanent hair removal, complete hair removal, or a specific percentage of hair reduction, as results depend on individual factors.
16.2. Treatment outcomes may be affected by, but are not limited to, hormonal changes or conditions (including PCOS, menopause, pregnancy and thyroid disorders), genetics, medications, medical conditions, skin type, hair colour, hair thickness, ethnicity, lifestyle factors, sun exposure, and adherence to the recommended treatment schedule and aftercare advice.
16.3. Some clients may experience paradoxical hypertrichosis (stimulated hair growth) following laser hair removal. This is a recognised but uncommon potential side effect of laser treatment and is influenced by individual biological and hormonal factors. As this response is outside the clinic’s control, 369 Laser Clinics cannot accept responsibility or guarantee prevention of stimulated hair growth where treatment has been carried out appropriately and in accordance with professional standards.
16.4. Clients are responsible for providing complete and accurate medical information and for informing the clinic of any changes to their health, medications or hormonal status before each treatment. Failure to do so may affect treatment outcomes and safety.
16.5. By proceeding with treatment, the client acknowledges that they have been informed of the expected benefits, limitations and potential risks of laser hair removal, including the possibility of variable results and stimulated hair growth, and accepts that no guarantee of a particular outcome has been made.
16.6. This clause applies where treatment has been carried out by a qualified practitioner in accordance with 369 Laser Clinics’ protocols and current industry standards. It does not affect any right you may have where unsatisfactory results arise from an act or omission by the clinic falling below that standard.
16.7. Nothing in this clause limits or excludes 369 Laser Clinics’ liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under UK law, and does not affect your statutory rights.
16.8 — Post-Course Results
Hair grows in cycles, so some regrowth or remaining hair after a course is normal and does not mean the treatment has failed. A visible reduction in hair over a course is considered a successful result, even if some hair remains.
16.9. If a client is unhappy with their results after finishing a course, we’ll offer a review with a practitioner to check progress is in line with what’s normal for their hair and skin type. Any outcome from this review is at the clinic’s discretion.
16.10. Extra sessions requested due to dissatisfaction after a completed course will be charged as new bookings, unless the review under 16.9 finds a genuine shortfall in results.
17. GENERAL LIABILITY
17.1. 369 Laser Clinics will not be liable for any indirect, special, or consequential loss or damage (including, without limitation, loss of earnings, loss of opportunity, or loss of enjoyment) arising out of or in connection with the provision of its services, save where such liability cannot be excluded or limited under UK law.
17.2. It is the client’s responsibility to provide 369 Laser Clinics with all relevant medical details prior to each treatment. 369 Laser Clinics will not be liable for any damage or adverse outcome that occurs as a result of a client’s failure to disclose such details.
17.3. The client agrees to comply with all instructions and recommendations given by, or on behalf of, 369 Laser Clinics regarding the care of a treated area, both before and after treatment.
18. Special Terms — Session Length & Overtime
18.1 Full-body sessions are scheduled for up to 90 minutes, based on the average time needed to treat all areas thoroughly. Every client’s body is different, and treatment time is affected by factors such as surface area, hair density, and skin type — none of which reflect anything other than natural human variation. Where more time is genuinely needed to complete a full, effective treatment, the session may continue beyond 90 minutes at a rate of £37 per additional 10 minutes (or part thereof), charged at the end of the session. This charge is applied consistently and solely on the basis of time required to complete treatment, regardless of any other characteristic.
