Rosa Mena, 50, has been sentenced to three years in prison and five years of probation after operating an unlicensed medical spa out of a shed behind her home on the 5000 block of Northwest Coosa Drive in Port St. Lucie. Mena ran the business under the name Miracle Hand and Spa, offering Botox injections and other cosmetic procedures without proper medical credentials.
The case came to light in May 2025 when a victim reported experiencing partial facial paralysis after receiving 62 units of Botox injections from Mena. The victim, who had been referred to the business by coworkers, paid $325 for the services. When the victim reported the paralysis, Mena refunded the money but asked her to return for another injection of vitamins to reverse the effects. After the paralysis continued, the victim requested proof of Mena's medical license, and Mena provided an altered phlebotomy certificate that had actually expired in February 2024. Mena also falsely claimed to be a doctor from the Dominican Republic.
A multi-agency investigation involving Port St. Lucie Police, PSL Code Enforcement, the PSL Building Department, PSL Business Tax and the Florida Department of Health led to a search warrant at Mena's residence. Detectives discovered medical beds, fat sculpting machines, laser hair removal equipment, laser liposuction machines and injection devices for fillers and Botox inside the backyard shed.
Mena was charged with three counts of aggravated battery causing bodily harm, three counts of practicing medicine without an active license, one count of fraud-swindle obtain property $300 or more, one count of fraud-swindle obtain property under $20,000 and one count of use of two-way communication device to facilitate a felony. The sentence reflects the serious nature of performing medical procedures without proper licensing or training.
