Henderson woman accused of selling ‘do-it-yourself’ Botox

Federal prosecutors on Thursday announced a 25-count indictment against a Henderson woman accused of selling “do-it-yourself” Botox.

Kelly Schaible, 55, owned several beauty product websites, through which she is accused of selling “cheaper, non-FDA approved foreign versions of the prescription drug, Botox, and the prescription device, Juvederm.”

Both Botox and Juvederm, which is injectable, are expensive cosmetics used to treat facial wrinkles. They both are closely regulated by the Food and Drug Administration.

According to the indictment, which a federal grand jury returned last month, Schaible purchased the wrinkle reduction products from Chinese distributors and illegally imported them into the United States. Authorities allege the scheme started in 2009 and continued through 2014.

1. you get what you pay for. i'm someone

who pays for botox and facial fillers. they are expensive but worth it.

that being said, if done by the wrong person -- even a doctor can screw up your face. it takes specialized training and experience to do it right. many injectors do their own.

2. Great idea to inject yourself with an unknown unverifiable substance from China.

3. Just the tip of the Iceberg.

Her boyfriend/hubby is going to the Crowbar Hotel as well. Supposed to be more people under investigation in this deal. Fake pharma is huge in the Vegas Valley,our Regulations are for the most part,well there aren't any. With a Democratic control of the Legislature,hopefully this changes.
