Hey everyone,
Here in the Los Angeles area, I've heard a new hair loss treatment product heavily advertised on the radio over the past 2 days (today is 2/18/09). It's called "Ovation Cell Therapy". They use all of the clever phrases in their advertising, in hopes that hair loss sufferers interpret their intentionally misleading phrases to believe that their product will stop hair loss and regrow hair.
Here are some of the phrases they use:
"Maximizes and accelerates hair growth"
"Creates visibly thicker, longer, stronger hair"
"Acceleratte, rejuvenate, strengthen"
"Our formula dramatically accelerates hair growth, reduces breakage, and hair loss"
"Nourishes your hair and scalp with essential amino acids"
And a bunch of other nonsense. Interestingly that not one of their statements specifically says "stops hair loss" or "regrows hair".
They also heavily discourage FDA approved products on their website (www.ovationhair.com), specifically Rogaine and Propecia, stating that these FDA approved products cause side effects, like chest pain, dizziness, swelling, skin irritations, and birth defects. BUNCH OF NONSENSE!
And in my opinion, here's the all-time low. Their radio ads state that their products have helped cancer patients that have lost hair due to chemotherapy. Now, I have no idea to what extent that is true. BUT, if it is true, that's an all-time low.
Anyone else hear of this Ovation Cell Therapy nonsense? Am I beating it up too badly?
