The short answer is – NO!
Recently, a Dutch authority decided for HSI, and that the Hair Science Institute definitely has the permission and the right for all their claims on their website.

HSI wins lawsuit at the Reclame Code Commissie!
On 15 July 2010, the Hair Science Institute (HSI) could at the Reclame Code Commissie (RCC) successfully defend a lawsuit by some hair transplant clinics due to false statements made by HSI. This lawsuit was the newest episode of a continuing series of efforts of these clinics to discredit HSI.
Reason for the lawsuit against HSI were the made claims by HSI of "hair multiplication" as a result of HSI’s patented Hairstemcell Transplantation® (HST), and that for the hair multiplication claims no evidence exists. The applicants were:
• Transhair BV
• Aesthetic Team BV
• Laser Surgery
• Prohairclinic
• Hairplus Medical Care
After a fair hearing of all affected parties and experts, finally the commission came to the decision, that HSI has just made plausible statements on their website and judged therefore the lawsuit for unfounded.
In addition, the claim the popular Dutchman Gerard Joling has HSI “linked to his name” was dismissed by the commission as irrelevant. In the attached PDF file, you can read the official decision of the Reclame Code Commissie.
This decision was truly no surprise for HSI and its clients. However, for HSI it is gratifying to see, that now the Reclame Code Commissie too has confirmed, that Hairstemcell Transplantation@ (HST) and its resulting unique statement of "hair multiplication" is fully justified.
We hope you enjoy reading!

So what?
Since April 2010, actually the whole HT field is aware of HSI’s published scientifically peer-reviewed paper:

That means, normally EVERY “FUE expert” out there is really easy able to prove or to disprove this study. Where is the problem? Or aren’t there any “FUE-experts” out there?
It seems not, because they presented and informed
every year about their progress for this technique since 2007 (2008 and 2009 too) at the ISHRS congress, as for instance 2007 in Las Vegas:

In my personal opinion, all such guys and doctors, who claim “the HSI technique is a scam”,
are the real scammers - besides the fact, that it seems that those ones don’t even have the necessary scientifically knowhow in their own field. I can see this almost every day. And THIS is really sad!
