Woman claims skin worsened after Rs 3.5 lakh treatment, court dismisses plea

A Bengaluru consumer commission dismissed a woman's complaint against SkinLab, stating negligence in cosmetic treatment requires expert medical evidence. The complainant alleged worsening acne and hair growth after Glutathione IV therapy and LHR. The clinic countered that she signed consent forms and underwent concurrent treatments, which could cause adverse reactions. The commission found no proof of negligence without expert opinion.
