Again in court: Osdorfer ignores ban and sprayed lips!

Again in court: Osdorfer ignores ban and sprayed lips!

This day, June 17, 2025, a 27-year-old woman from Osdorf is standing in front of the Hamburg district court. It is accused of continuing to carry out illegal lip injections, although it was sentenced to a probation penalty by a district court in Altona in 2023. The judge was urgently warned of this: in the event of another violation, a prison sentence could threaten. However, this warning did not seem to be fruitful, because the woman continued to operate her salon in Ottensen and treated at least two customers with hyaluronic acid, although she has no technical training for it. As reports [NDR] (https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/hamburg/illegales-lippenaufspritzen-prakt-nach-nach- after-judicial practitioner-100.html), she has been in custody since March 2025. The public prosecutor is now calling for a prison sentence of four years.

In the courtroom, the accused confessed that she had lived in an "Instagram and TikTok beauty of the world" and expressed the desire to reorient itself professionally. It is currently uncertain whether and when it will be released. The judge of the criminal chamber sees a suspended sentence, given the repeated violations, as unlikely.

illegal treatment methods in the trend

The topic does not only have this accused woman in the line of fire. The use of hyaluronic acid preparations is booming, and, for concern, these are not subject to a prescription and can be conveniently ordered online. Juvederm's products from the Allergan products in particular are very popular. But allergan makes it clear that these fillers can only be used by professionally qualified doctors. Unfortunately, dubious providers have also made it into a habit of obtaining such products through wholesale, such as Beautyblogger. The increase in counterfeits of these products on the German market is also exciting. Allergan observes the Situation closely and advises customers to only provide themselves with these fillers through authorized channels to ensure the safety of the treatments.

legal situation and safety of the treatments

There is further attention on the legal situation regarding advertising for cosmetic interventions. A judgment recently banned the use of before and after images in advertising for hyaluronic acid treatments. This is done to protect consumers from unrealistic expectations and possible health risks that can result from improper treatments, such as SPIEGEL reported.

The persistent legal problems and the black market for cosmetic interventions illustrate that there is an urgent need for action. While cosmetic treatments are still popular, it becomes clear that the clarification and regulation of the market needs even greater scope.
