I have just learned the under-18's are able to get cosmetic procedures such as Botox in the UK outside of England through this survey! I would like to voice my concern that this is happening and show the government that we won't stand for it!

Botox and lip filler ban 'being dodged by under-18s in England' who are 'getting treatments in Wales and Scotland'

The law in England makes it a criminal offence to administer Botox or inject a filler for cosmetic purposes to anyone under 18, even if they are given permission by an adult. But no such law exists in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.

No responsible practitioner would even consider doing this to an under 18.
