Coeur d’Alene Police are looking for a woman suspected of stealing $1,700 worth of Botox and Juvederm treatments from a dermatology business.

North Idaho Dermatology employees told police a woman by the possible name of Louise Greene had work done at the business on Dec. 6, a news release from the police department said.

She was in the business for about an hour and had $1,705 worth of treatments on her face.

Employees said the woman began writing a check for the services and then said her checkbook wouldn’t work and that she needed to go get another one. She walked out of the building and never returned, the release said.

When the woman made the appointment she gave a Post Falls address, but when she arrived for the work, she provided a different Post Falls address. Police checked out both addresses but did not find anyone at either one.

Employees told police the woman said she’d just moved here from Seattle and had a referral note from a doctor in Pocatello.

Anyone with information is asked to call the police department at (208) 769-2320.

  For an amount that large, most businesses require either a deposit or definite proof of ability to pay before doing the job. Hopefully the dermatology firm will learn to do that from now on!

  Or else they could botox your legs along with your face if your credit seemed dubious…. That way you couldn’t run very fast.

  Got to keep that poker face intact if you’re playing in high-stakes games at the Indian casinos.

  Looks like she’s had a lot of work done. She has that rubbery, wind tunnel, trout lips face. Should be a heck of a mug shot to see when she’s caught.

  I guess now it is the public’s job to help this dubious business catch this unfortunate woman who seems to be addicted to these horrible treatments? I would look the other way; no way I’m helping the Devil catch his prey. In a world of docs and insurance companies giving people the shaft, here is an opportunity for the public to let someone off the hook. 1700 bucks for facial injections? You would think nobody would fall for that trick. But since she did, it seems appropriate that she tricked them back, eh?

  Even a hooker has enough common sense to make sure the money is there before services are performed.
