Business practices that are misleading or give you false hope to get you to buy are illegal. They are prohibited regardless of the medium: poster, sign, website, advertisement, commercial, salesperson, etc.
For example, a massage clinic that advertises that you will no longer suffer from back pain after 3 treatments must fulfill that promise. The same is true for a beauty salon that claims that your hair will never grow back after 10 laser hair removal sessions.
