England bans lip filler and Botox injections for girls under 18
October 02, 2021
England has banned botulinum toxin injections - often known as Botox - or dermal lip fillers for girls under 18.
The new law aims to protect young people from harm after years of efforts to regulate the non-surgical beauty industry.
Reports estimates show up to 41,000 Botox-style procedures were carried out on under-18 girls in England last year.
According to the Department of Health and Social Care, there were up to 29,300 dermal filler procedures for under-18s in 2017.
Before the new law, under-18s were able to have Botox-style procedures and dermal fillers.
But with the new ruling , it is expected that Wales and Scotland will also follow suit with a similar legislation.Latest Post
