BOSTON – A Stoughton woman who owns spas in Easton and Randolph allegedly performed thousands of illegal counterfeit Botox and filler injections since 2021. Rebecca Fadanelli, 38, was arrested Friday morning.
She appeared in federal court in Worcester and was charged with one count of illegally importing merchandise contrary to law, one count of selling or dispensing a counterfeit drug, and one count of selling or dispensing a counterfeit device.
The U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts said Fadanelli, the owner of Skin Beaute Med Spa, imported counterfeit Botox, Sculptra and Juvederm from China and Brazil. She allegedly performed thousands of injections on her clients and received over $900,000 in payments.
Fadanelli allegedly purchased vials of Botox for $50 from Alibaba, much less than the market price $650. She is an aesthetician, but allegedly told clients and employees at the spas that she was a nurse.
