Man Attempts to Restart Illegal Botox Business After Prison Release

Elias Renteria Segoviano faces charges for trying to reopen his unlicensed cosmetic practice, exploiting the lucrative aesthetic medicine market.

Elias Renteria Segoviano, 63, faces new charges for attempting to reopen his illegal Botox business in California, less than two weeks after his release from prison.
Segoviano previously served time for performing cosmetic procedures without a license, targeting Spanish-speaking women with potentially counterfeit substances.
Authorities caught Segoviano trying to sublet a space and apply for a business license under a fake name, despite lacking medical authorizations.
The Orange County District Attorney emphasized Segoviano's motive as financial, highlighting the lucrative nature of aesthetic medicine.
Segoviano's history of illegal medical practice dates back to 2019, with at least 28 victims identified.
