Medspa doc surrenders in illegal Botox case
ABC13's Jessica Willey reports on the surrender of a Spring medspa supervising doctor accused of illegally injecting patients with Botox.

SPRING, Texas (KTRK) -- The supervising medical doctor accused of aiding unlicensed Botox injections out of a medical spa in Spring surrendered to authorities on Friday.

On Wednesday, ABC13 learned a warrant was issued for the arrest of Dr. Paula Springer-Bryant. Documents list her charge as practicing medicine in violation of subtitle.

Springer-Bryant, 68, works out of the Savvy Chic Medspa, where Michelle Bogle, the director of nursing at the skin rejuvenation clinic, was taken away in handcuffs on Nov. 8.

Bogle was booked into Harris County Jail on the same practicing medicine in violation of subtitle charge.

The physician turned herself in Friday and then posted $2,500 bond on the same day.

Prosecutors said while Bogle has been a licensed vocational nurse for 17 years, she is not licensed to perform nonsurgical medical procedures.

Investigators say Springer-Bryant's charge is directly related to Bogle's arrest. Springer-Bryant allegedly allowed Bogle to make hundreds of injections.
