The 2nd Criminal Court and 2nd Special Court of Planaltina convicted a beautician for the crime of bodily harm (article 129 of the Penal Code) committed against a client. The decision set the penalty of 4 years and 3 months in semi-open prison.
According to the process, on May 10, 2018, in Planaltina, the accused performed the second session of an aesthetic procedure on the victim called microneedling. After using the roller with microneedles on the client’s buttocks, she applied a type of acid to the procedure site and wrapped the skin with cling film. The defendant also prescribed, as part of the procedural care, that the victim apply acid to the region every night.
The process details that after the anesthesia wore off, the victim felt severe pain. When she contacted the beautician to complain about the severe pain, she was informed that the symptoms presented were common to the procedure. The client reports that in addition to the severe pain, the lesions on her buttocks began to look “ugly”, in addition to presenting pus and a bad smell. It was later found that, despite the woman being legally qualified to carry out the procedure, she used an unrecommended substance at the procedure site.
The beautician’s defense requested her acquittal because, according to her, the injuries suffered by the victim did not occur because of the defendant’s conduct. She argues that, contrary to this, the injuries resulted from the victim’s own actions.
In the decision, the judge states that the materiality and authorship of the crime of bodily harm are duly demonstrated, according to the evidence produced in the process. He mentions the statements of a representative of the aesthetic clinic who describes how micropuncture works and reveals important distortions in relation to the procedure adopted by the accused. He highlights that, despite the defensive allegations, the beautician’s criminal activity was proven, as she acted inappropriately by using non-recommended acid, especially since this conduct is not taught at the school that the author represents.
Finally, the Judge understood that the defendant assumed the risks of causing the bodily injury suffered by the victim, who, despite carrying out procedures with the aim of minimizing the damage, still bears the marks of the injuries suffered. Therefore, for the magistrate “it was established in the criminal investigation that the accused acted in non-compliance with the standard of care in a similar aesthetic procedure, using an inappropriate substance and wrapping the skin with plastic film, as well as that these circumstances were essential for the production of harmful results”.
