Dear Colleague,

Could you please confirm me that the Finnish translation of "FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY!" is well "VAIN AMMATTIKÄYTTÖÖN!"

Explanation:
That would be the correct translation, you could use "Tarkoitettu vain ammattikäyttöön" also if the context allows a longer sentence, but your suggestion is already fine and widely used.
