Illegal Beauty Clinic in Vienna-Simmering Uncovered

On July 10, the police and several departments of the city of Vienna – including the Immediate Measures Group, MA 40, and the Market Office – conducted a coordinated inspection in a former dermatological practice on Simmeringer Hauptstraße. There had previously been indications of illegal cosmetic procedures.

Procedures Without Authorization in Illegal Vienna Clinic

During the operation, the officers encountered a 21-year-old employee who was in the process of injecting a substance into the upper lip of a 19-year-old woman. The young woman is an Austrian citizen and could not provide authorization to perform medical procedures.

A 23-year-old customer reported to the officers that she had suffered complications after a botched procedure by another employee of the facility – a 36-year-old Serbian national. Both women refused an immediate medical examination and independently went to a hospital for further clarification.

Reports for Quackery and Bodily Harm

During the search of the practice and an adjacent storage apartment, the police secured numerous medications, injections, syringes, as well as hundreds of completed consent forms and medical history sheets. According to authorities, these also included data of allegedly underage customers.

The two employees were reported on suspicion of quackery. The 36-year-old was also reported on suspicion of bodily harm. Further investigations are being conducted by the Criminal Investigation Department of the Simmering City Police Command.
