A Texas woman has been arrested for allegedly running an illegal Botox clinic. KHOU-TV reports that Maria Lorena Teran was injecting patient's faces and other body parts with Botox, although she is not a licensed medical professional.

Apparently, several of her patients, who said the clinic looked legitimate, became sick after their injections and contacted police. The Houston police then began an investigation that included the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

"You know, as physicians, we have decades of training on human anatomy and where to inject and where not to inject," a Texas-based physician told the news provider.

He added that unlicensed individuals injecting patients with Botox or silicone are dangerous and the illicit procedures can cause serious infections.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, more than 2.4 million people had Botox injections in 2010, making it the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure.

The drug was the first neurotoxin to be approved for cosmetic use in the U.S. and works by temporarily weakening or paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles.

While there are several options available when it comes to injectable treatments, it may be best to speak with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your areas of concern, and to hear the options they suggest before making a decision.

A facelift is a surgical procedure that helps to smooth the skin of the face and neck, tighten the underlying tissues and muscle, and remove excess skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance. However, a new type of facelift is gaining popularity, even though it's not technically a facelift, as it does not involve the surgical repositioning of facial tissues, according to ABC News.

The so-called "Vampire Facelift" uses a patient's own blood as an injectable to smooth wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin. While such treatments have made the news before, it seems that more and more individuals are turning to the procedure at greater rates.

According to the Los Angeles Daily News, the Vampire Facelift - which is also known both as PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy and Selphyl - involves taking a vial of the patient's blood, isolating the platelet-rich plasma and injecting it back into the face or other areas of the body.

The non-invasive, FDA-approved procedure may be favored by some over other injectables such as Botox and Restylane because the chance of allergic reaction is minimized due to the fact that the filler is the patient's own blood. Using blood plasma is also believed to cause tissue regeneration and stimulate collagen production.

However, some caution that this procedure may not be a good option for everyone.

"One of the problems with your own blood is that some people pass out from having their blood taken," a New York City-based plastic surgeon told ABC News. "Also, blood tends to cause an itchy after-effect. Sometimes it causes burning or discoloration. You're injecting blood into a place where blood doesn't normally reside."

Like other injectables, the Vampire Facelift doesn't offer a permanent solution, as results are expected to last 15 months.

"Many of the current synthetic fillers on the market - Restylane and Juvederm, for example - with outstanding safety and efficacy data with millions of patients treated have one-year results or more," an ASAPS member told ABC News.

Experts recommend those interested in injectables discuss their expectations with a licensed and board-certified plastic surgeon before deciding which one to get.

"Injectables have very little downtime and very little risk," the New York City-based physician told ABC News. "They are also less expensive than plastic surgery, and in this economy, that's had a major impact."
