Illegal Beauty Clinic in Vienna Uncovered Again

On Thursday, the Immediate Action Group, together with the Vienna police, the Employment Service (AMS), and the relevant municipal departments, once again took action against an illegal beauty clinic.

Illegal Beauty Clinic in Vienna-Favoriten Exposed: Fake Doctor Interrogated

The illegal beauty clinic performed cosmetic procedures such as Botox and filler injections without medically qualified staff and without official permission. An employee found on-site, who was not registered, falsely posed as a doctor and is being interrogated by the Vienna police. Numerous preparations were immediately secured in the illegal beauty clinic, and several charges for unauthorized medical treatments, illegal work, and various violations of trade regulations were filed.

"These repeated discoveries of illegal beauty clinics are an alarming sign. Everyone should be aware: Procedures like filler or Botox treatments can lead to permanent damage or even be fatal if performed unqualifiedly. We appeal to all Viennese to report suspicious facilities or offers immediately," said Walter Hillerer, head of the Immediate Action Group.

In this context, Hillerer emphasizes the current information campaign by the City of Vienna, which highlights the dangers of aesthetic procedures: "Especially in times when illegal providers are increasingly performing treatments, it is all the more important to critically examine offers. The City of Vienna's new campaign provides comprehensive information about the health risks of cosmetic surgeries. Our appeal: Be critical and have procedures performed exclusively by medical professionals."
