Laser hair removal co. to pay $100K for not rendering services

A Chesterfield laser hair removal business that accepted payment from consumers for but failed to provide those services has agreed to pay $100,000 in restitution and costs under an agreement forged Tuesday with Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon.

Laser Aesthetic Institute LLC, which did business as Sona Med Spa, sold contracts to consumers related to laser aesthetics, including laser hair removal, but violated state consumer protection laws when it received payments from consumers and failed to provide the services or refunds, Nixon said.

Any violation of the agreement could result in contempt of court proceedings and civil penalties of up to $2,000 per violation. Laser Aesthetic Institute, which is no longer in business, and its operators also agreed to pay a stipulated civil penalty of $1,000 for future violations of state consumer protection laws.
