I doubt it use for its original purpose is being banned for children though.

Yes there is a medical condition. Is actually a medicine called Dysport . It's been rebranded and repurposed by the cosmetic industry. www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/964/smpc

Isn't it used for excessive sweating? I don't know how young that can be a problem though

Botox was used for medical reasons for years before it was approved for cosmetic tweaks.

What children need Botox? Is there a medical condition that would warrant this as a treatment?

I can't believe it's not already illegal for kids to have Botox. Who is letting them do it and why???

Children can't get tattoos or body piercings. Women under 30 can't get a hysterectomy if they are suffering from debilitating endometriosis.

At least it has now been established that children can't give informed consent to PBs.
