New York based Laurie D’Alleva Discount Medspa Selling Drugs without Prescription

By Steve Gavriliuc for CEOWORLD Magazine Updated:December 5, 2009


New York based Discount Medspa (2 thousand customers) is reported to sell verious drugs similar to cosmetic drugs such as Botox to customers without any prescription. Laurie D’Alleva, a lady from Texas, who appears to be the site’s proprietor, performs treatments on herself in self-made videos posted to the site’s YouTube channel.

Wired.com reported that such sites are brazenly circumventing regulations that protect consumers from bad or fake drugs and ensure that the chemicals are used correctly.

Discountmedspa sells a variety of other DIY cosmetic treatments, including prescription Renova, and lip-filling gels. The botulinum toxin-derivative for sale on the site is Dysport, produced by the pharmaceutical company Ipsen and is a competitor of Allergan’s Botox. The site simply calls it “the Freeze.”

A Grand Prairie, Texas, woman, Laurie D’Alleva, who appears to be the site’s proprietor, performs treatments on herself in self-made videos posted to the site’s YouTube channel. In one video, D’Alleva pulls out a vial of what is presumably Dysport and a syringe filled with saline.

“It’s important to remember that you are mixing the potency of the botox,” she says, mixing the contents of the vial with the saline solution. She then injects her forehead and the areas around her eyes.

    She is still selling this stuff. She is asking her old clients to go in to business with her and she is nuts. She is already on probation for shooting someone and now this. Maybe she should go to Mexico ad become a hooker like she said she was going to.
