House parties featuring Botox and hyaluronic acid injections. The revelations surrounding these fake beauty businesses are shocking. They rent a house, turn it into a beauty salon, and peddle “fountain-of-youth” treatments to unsuspecting young women!
The complaints received by the Pharmaceutical Services are serious. In fact, in one case, a young woman suffered an allergic reaction after receiving hyaluronic acid injections in her lips and was rushed to the hospital.

“The worst part is that this is happening to young girls. It doesn’t affect mature women. There was a case where a girl had an allergic reaction and ended up in the hospital. She was at a Botox party and even received a receipt. We have to be very careful.”
Elena Panagiotopoulou – Director of Pharmaceutical Services
And if you think this illegal operation only targets women, you’re wrong. Authorities are investigating reports of gatherings targeting men, where they are administered injectable “performance-enhancing” cocktails.
“When such information is received, the Ministry of Health and the pharmaceutical services are immediately mobilized, and in this way we prevent such situations.”
Elena Panagiotopoulou
Pharmaceutical Services are issuing a warning, as these preparations are being obtained outside of legal channels and administered illegally, with serious health consequences.
Complaints to the police began six months ago.
