    Has anyone tried this? Does it work? I've already bought a microdermabrasion treatment for €25 from the same site. Will have to burn my cc at this rate.

    Thanks for any comments :)

    2 friends bought it yesterday. Ive no idea if it works but they love all that stuff. One friend rang today to book her appts, said they were very friendly and helpful on the phone. You get a consult with a nutritionist also. For €90 i would give it a go...€520 thats madness and id be sick spending that money if it didnt work.

    Some great deals on that website over the last while in fairness.

    I bought this CityDeal and when I rang the clinic to redeem my voucher they very rudely told me they would not be honouring it as they "couldn't go on with it"!

    To be frank, I would not trust any establishment that enters in to offering such a deal before working out whether they can actually deliver it! What does it say about their business practices? And it makes me suspicious of other deals I see on CityDeal.ie too.

    One of my friends was also told the same during the week. Apparently the owner is selling up and moving to Wexford and said Citydeal hadnt given her the money. To be fair to Citydeal ive bought a good few things recently and all have been honoured. I think the fault lies with the Hypoxi practice as i was also told the woman was quite rude on the phone also.

    oh no this is terrible! I bought it too, i had only emailed asking for an appointment and never heard anything back. f they are not honouring it when are e getting funds back to our cards? Have they given any reason why they will not honour it. Surely they have to honour it as they have charged us?

    You'll have to ask Citydeal for the refund as theyre the middle men in the transaction. Their terms and conditions do state you're entitled to a refund if the deal doesnt go ahead. Poor form on the Hypoxi crowd imho.

    FFS! I bought this and was really looking forward to it. Knew I should have gone sooner rather than later. If I got onto consumer rights or something would they have to honour it?!

    Has anyone heard any update? Citydeal has deleted all the comments about the hypoxi on their facebook page. There were only a few but it looks like there is something to hide when they are deleting them :(

    We have been forced to closed the hypoxiclinic by hypoxi austria and hypoxi ireland the reason was we offer the city deal to people and they
    turn off our machines and terminate the contract we have no problem to honour people vouchers but we been restricted and they want us to charge 900 euro for 12 sessions which is not possible for people to pay in recession so there was no point to continue the clinic when we are not allowed to continue our bussiness with freedom and give people a chance to try on city deal and see how this therapy works for them and generate the bussiness obviously if you been so much troubled and harraseed and pay legal fees you not going to run this type of negative busssiness thats why hypoxiclinic is been closed.also we have informed city deal few weeks ago and ask them to send e mail to all customer and explained who bought the voucher and refund there money back so its up to city deal to give refunds because we have not taken any money from any one.and we did not had any one contact information because city deal have that. i hope that answer all people questions. thanks:(

    Sunhera your post is very hard to decipher. To be honest, the reports ive heard back from my friend about her experience with the 5/6 sessions she managed to get were nothing but atrocious. The person running it didnt turn up for her 6th session.She said she turned up at the clinics door to find it locked up. She also had awful reports too about the person in charge (rude,pass remarkable, didnt perform the nutritional plan or body measurements..).The person apparently laughed and said this treatment wasnt suitable for "people under a certain weight" i.e thin people as it would have no effect. My friend said there was 0 effect after 5 sessions.She was disgusted with the whole thing.

    On ringing Citydeal they said they were trying to find another Clinic (theres one in Sandyford,not that hard to find) but because she'd technically redeemed her vouchers they wouldnt give her a refund but just her 6th session. No point doing 1 on its own weeks later.

    well hypoxi therapy is not for thin people any way and it is targeted wt loss so if your friend is thin she in first place not try to loose any wt, nutrition advice and measurements was done on there first visit, and clinic is open untill 9 am to 9 pm so not possibl that it was closed but diffferent people will have different oppinion.

    Contact Citydeal they should either be arranging new appts at a different clinic or refund your money. That particular clinic has definitely closed down.
