ABC13 Houston reported on June 2, 2026, that Nahidah Hussein, identified in the news report as a Texas dental assistant, was accused of performing lip filler injections without proper medical licensing at Pink Beauty Med Spa in Houston. The report described the business as operating inside a salon suite building.
Key allegations and reported details cited in the ABC13 Houston report include:
- Charge filed: Court records cited by ABC13 stated that Nahidah Hussein was charged with violating the state’s medical practice statute and causing physical harm.
- Patient complaint: Prosecutors alleged that Hussein injected a client with lip fillers in February, after which the client reportedly developed an infection and contacted police.

- Injector credentials: Investigators alleged in court documents that Hussein did not have the credentials required to perform the cosmetic injections at the center of the case.

According to ABC13 Houston on June 2, 2026, Nahidah Hussein was charged after prosecutors alleged she performed lip filler injections without proper medical licensing at Pink Beauty Med Spa in Houston. The news report cited court records and provided additional details from prosecutors and state licensing records.
Med Spa Compliance Considerations for Cosmetic Injectable Services
The reported allegations center on whether a cosmetic injectable procedure was performed by someone with the required medical licensing. ABC13 Houston stated that Hussein was licensed as a dental assistant and that investigators alleged in court documents that she did not have the credentials required for the cosmetic injections. The report also stated that a client contacted police after allegedly developing an infection following lip filler injections.
Texas Administrative Code § 169.25 identifies nonsurgical medical cosmetic procedures as medical acts when they include injecting medication or substances for cosmetic purposes or using prescription medical devices for cosmetic purposes.
The rule includes several requirements relevant to Med Spa injectable services:
- Procedure type: Nonsurgical medical cosmetic procedures include injecting medication or substances for cosmetic purposes and using prescription medical devices for cosmetic purposes.
- Delegation pathway: These procedures may be delegated by a physician to appropriately trained personnel.
- Clinical availability: A physician, PA, or APRN must be either on-site during the procedure or immediately available for emergency consultation if an adverse outcome occurs.
- Emergency follow-up: If needed, the physician must be able to conduct an emergency appointment with the patient.
Texas delegation rules identify nonsurgical medical cosmetic procedures as delegated medical acts and set requirements for training, supervision, and emergency availability. Previous coverage involving Med Spa IV therapy delegation under Jenifer’s Law and Virginia’s cosmetic Botox rule provides other examples of how state rules may define authority by service type, provider role, training, supervision, and procedure limits.
Practical Implications for Texas Med Spa Cosmetic Injectables
- Verify injector authority for each cosmetic injectable service offered.
- Document the physician delegation pathway for cosmetic injections.
- Confirm patient evaluation and treatment approval before injectable services.
- Align social media and service menus with services the business is authorized to offer.
- Maintain documentation of reported adverse outcomes and any clinical follow-up after injectable treatments.
What to Watch Next in the Houston Med Spa Case
ABC13 Houston reported that Hussein was released on bond and that a judge barred her from the Med Spa while the case remains pending. Future developments may clarify the status of the charge, any court disposition, and whether a separate licensing-board action is filed in connection with the alleged unlicensed cosmetic injectable case.
