A welcome decision from SimonHarrisTD to look at a possible ban on lip fillers and Botox for under-18s Read how our crowdfunded investigative platform noteworthy_ie obtained records of dermal and lip filler mishaps last week:

Image: Shutterstock Image: Shutterstock THE DEPARTMENT OF Health is to look into whether the use of Botox and lip fillers should be banned for under-18s.

A recent investigation by Noteworthy detailed the booming demand for lip and facial fillers in Ireland and noted that there are no limits on who can receive non-surgical treatments. “It is clear this is a growing industry across all age groups and all sexes. While the profession and the products are regulated, I am conscious that this is an industry that is continuing to grow and particularly worryingly, it is targeting young men and women,” the minister said.

In the past, we have banned sunbeds for under-18s and I have asked my department to assess whether we should impose a minimum age for the use of these products,” the minister added.
