Illegal Beauty Clinic Discovered in Vienna Nail Salon: Sixth Case in Vienna Already

For the sixth time in a few months, the Immediate Action Group of the City of Vienna has dismantled an illegal beauty clinic. This time, a nail salon in the Alsergrund district was inspected, where botulinum toxin (Botox) and filler treatments were offered and performed without medical approval.

Illegal Beauty Clinic Uncovered Again in Vienna

During the joint operation with the police, financial police, and city authorities, a supposed doctor was caught in the act while performing a treatment. The substances used were confiscated, and several charges were filed – including under the Medical Practitioners Act, for quackery and illegal work.

Authorities Warn Against Illegal Procedures

Walter Hillerer, head of the Immediate Action Group, warns of the health risks of such procedures: "Every clinic discovered is another step towards stopping dangerous practices. Our work protects people – and I continue to urge that any tips be reported immediately."

The City of Vienna has been specifically targeting illegal cosmetic procedures for months, especially where medical treatments are offered without professional staff. With the current discovery, the number of illegal beauty clinics uncovered through inspections in Vienna totals six.
