Fox News reports that Los Angeles police have arrested two sisters for allegedly practicing medicine without a license. According to Fox, police say the sisters, Guadalupe and Alejandra Viveros, were running a cosmetic fillers business.

The two are held on charges of practicing medicine without a license, and bail has been set at $20,000. Several victims told police when they began suffering from complications following the procedures.

Fox News writes that, “In some cases, police say the fillers hardened into solid plastic and the patients developed infections.”

Guadalupe Vivero claims to be a physician in Mexico, but is still not licensed to practice in the United States.
