NORTHEAST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) – A 59-year-old woman was arrested after Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office detectives said she was offering Botox and lip filler procedures from her Miami condominium without a medical license.<\/p>\n
According to an arrest report, Luisa Arteaga-Villalina was taken into custody on Monday at her residence along the 600 block of Northeast 24th Street following an undercover operation by MDSO\u2019s Medical Crimes Squad.<\/p>\n
Investigators said the case began after the Florida Department of Health received an anonymous complaint alleging Arteaga-Villalina, 59, was performing cosmetic procedures, including Botox and lip filler injections, from her home.<\/p>\n
Authorities said the Department of Health confirmed that neither Arteaga-Villalina nor anyone registered at the residence was licensed to practice medicine.<\/p>\n
Detectives said an undercover officer contacted the suspect through her social media account and scheduled an appointment.<\/p>\n
According to investigators, she initially quoted between $350 and $600 for Botox, saying she would determine the final cost after evaluating the client.<\/p>\n
When the undercover detectives arrived at the residence Monday afternoon, investigators said, Arteaga-Villalina examined the undercover officer and offered to perform a 20-unit Botox treatment for $300.<\/p>\n
According to the arrest report, detectives moved in and arrested Arteaga-Villalina as she prepared to begin the procedure.<\/p>\n
During a bond court hearing Tuesday morning, Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Maria Espinosa Dennis found probable cause and set a $5,000 bond.<\/p>\n
