CALL: Vanessa Brown, director at VL Aesthetics A leading aesthetics clinic has welcomed a rule change making it illegal for under-18s to be given cosmetic botox or fillers. The Botulinum Toxin and Cosmetic Fillers (Children) Act was passed by Parliament last month making it illegal to provide either procedure to under-18s for cosmetic reasons. The act, which will come into force in the autumn, will also require a doctor, registered medical practitioner, or a healthcare professional to administer such procedures when there is a medical need in under-18s. Vanessa Brown, director of VL Aesthetics, in Kingmoor Road, Carlisle, said the move was long overdue.
