The National Police have dismantled an illegal beauty center in the district of Chamberí where aesthetic treatments were being carried out. As a result of the operation, three women have been arrested. They were performing medical practices without being qualified personnel and were not complying with the established measures for the preservation of substances used in the treatments.
