Summary

38-year-old Massachusetts spa owner Rebecca Fadanelli faces federal charges for posing as a nurse and administering thousands of doses of counterfeit Botox, Sculptra, and Juvederm obtained from China and Brazil.

She reportedly performed over 2,700 procedures, amassing nearly $1 million in client payments.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned of health risks from counterfeit Botox, citing adverse reactions in several states, including blurred vision and respiratory issues.

Fadanelli’s court appearance is scheduled for November 14.
