An Issaquah woman was found guilty today in U.S. District Court in Seattle of giving counterfeit Botox and Restylane injections at her Bellevue beauty salon. A judge found Xin "Faith" He, 46, guilty of one count of misbranding of a drug and two counts of receipt and delivery of an adulterated device.

He, who runs the Natural Beauty salon in Bellevue, was accused of injecting counterfeit Restylane, a prescription wrinkle remover, into customers' faces, scarring them permanently. She is also charged with offering counterfeit Botox for sale.

He is a licensed esthetician and manicurist, but was not a medical doctor licensed to use injectable treatments for wrinkle removal such as Botox and Restylane, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. According to the indictment in the case, as early as 2004, He injected a substance that she later represented was Restylane into the face of a Snohomish woman. Court records indicate the woman's face became inflamed and she sought treatment from a dermatologist.

In 2006, the state Health Department ordered He to quit administering such substances, but two years later, in April 2008, she injected a Bothell woman with the phony Restylane, prosecutors said. That woman's face became hard and swollen, and she had to get plastic surgery.

Agents raided the salon, at 11004 N.E. 11th St., and seized "numerous vials of injectable substances labeled in Chinese characters," the prosecutors said.

He is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 18. She faces up to three years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
