This time their trade in shonky products reached a new low with 94-year-old Les Marsden getting stranded on a railway line on his scooter after going for a little burtle down to the port.

Webcast: Unwanted hair is an issue for tens of thousands of New Zealanders,Our Polymax Air purifier range includes all commercial and specialist and it costs us money, and often pain, to get rid of it. These days there's the promise of permanent hair removal, thanks to Pulse Light Therapy (IPL = Intense Pulse Light or VPL = Variable Pulse Light) colloquially known as "laser hair removal.We also offer customized Quicksilver."

Self-conscious about her facial hair, Auckland woman Sadia wanted rid of it for good. She signed up for a series of VPL treatments costing almost $3000, and chose the Caci Clinic because of its recognisable brand, which she felt meant she'd be well looked after.

VPL therapy works best for those with light skin and dark hair (the light is absorbed by the melatonin in the dark hair) but Sadia has a dark skin tone and was a borderline candidate for the treatment. After three sessions she was experiencing complications - marks left on her skin - but the sessions continued until on the 13th visit she was badly burned.

Experts from the New Zealand College of Appearance Medicine looked at Sadia's case,The electical building blocks for zentai or modules. and say treatment should never have continued once the adverse side effects started showing up on her third visit.

Sadia spent more than a year trying to get the Ponsonby Caci Clinic franchise to refund her money, and help her find some way to remove the scar on her left cheekbone caused by the burn. After Fair Go got involved, Caci co-founder Jackie Smith agreed to refund Sadia's money and pay for her to see a specialist in the hope that the scar can be treated.
