She asked one question. "Are you a nurse?" The woman holding the microneedling pen didn't answer.

A consumer took a Groupon deal, got the treatment, and got pitched on Botox while she was still in the chair. The whole thing sat wrong with her. So she went looking for someone who could tell her whether the place was even legal, found the Med Spa Board, and sent an email.

Dr. Kate Dee opened it and started digging.

You get the investigation in the order she ran it. The website with two names and no credentials next to either one. The reviews, and the pattern in them that should have been the first warning. The state license lookup, which takes about four minutes and anyone can do it from a phone.

Then the call to the woman named as medical director on that website. She picked up. Wait until you hear what she said about her name being on there.

And then Dr. Dee called the spa herself, as a customer, asking the same things you'd ask. What came back wasn't a phone call. It was one line, and it confirmed everything she suspected.

This place has been open for more than four years.

If you've ever booked a treatment because the price felt like a steal, you'll find out what that price was actually buying you. And if you're an injector or an owner who knows you're not fully compliant, stay to the end. Dr. Dee tells you exactly where to start.

Press play and learn how to check any med spa yourself before you ever sit in that chair.
