Ruth Moschner Says Slimness Raised Her Pay and Sues Clinic Over Damaging RF Microneedling

Moschner has taken legal action after she says radiofrequency microneedling at a Berlin clinic left lasting damage to her skin and fat tissue.

Overview

  • In early June 2026 Moschner told broadcasters that when she reached a slimmer size 34/36 she received more TV offers and higher pay, which she calls a shocking example of appearance‑based rewards.
  • She says fashion brands that previously insulted or refused to clothe her later contacted her after she lost weight, illustrating opportunistic treatment tied to size.
  • Moschner booked three radiofrequency microneedling treatments at a Berlin‑Mitte clinic that cost about €600 each, and she reports that the procedures damaged her skin surface and underlying fat.
  • The clinic first acknowledged problems at a follow‑up visit but later issued a letter blaming age, weight change, or a decades‑old liposuction; Moschner is now represented by a specialist attorney and backed by dermatology and aesthetic experts as the legal dispute develops.
  • Her case highlights two broader issues: a measurable ‘slimness premium’ in entertainment work and the safety and informed‑consent gaps in non‑surgical cosmetic procedures that regulators and patients may now scrutinize.
