Seventh Illegal Beauty Clinic Discovered in Vienna

During a joint inspection by the Immediate Measures Group, the Vienna Police, and the AMS, a salon was discovered where aesthetic treatments were apparently being performed without medical authorization. This is already the seventh such facility that has been identified during ongoing focus actions.

Treatments Without Medical Qualification

As the City of Vienna announced on Friday, the task force encountered an employee in the premises who was performing a cosmetic treatment. She had no medical training and was not authorized to perform such procedures. Expired medications and preparations were also found on site – some cooled in the treatment room, others in the refrigerator.

Additionally, a laser device for tattoo removal was secured, the use of which is reserved exclusively for trained professionals. All unauthorized products and devices were confiscated.

Warning Against Dangerous Procedures

Walter Hillerer, head of the Immediate Measures Group, issued a strong warning in a statement against so-called beauty procedures without medical supervision: "Vienna is not a place for dangerous beauty experiments. Botox and fillers belong in the hands of doctors, not in the back rooms of nail studios."

Investigations in this case are ongoing. Further inspections in the area of unauthorized medical treatments are planned according to the City of Vienna.
