Harley Street doctor Dirk Kremer says while it is illegal for under-18s to be tattooed or use sun beds, there are no such rules when it comes to the cosmetic procedures.
He blames social media for kids wanting plump lips, chiselled jaws and raised eyebrows to look like billionaire influencer Kylie Jenner or US President’s daughter Ivanka.
And he says the consequences of underqualified practitioners carrying out the treatment are grave — with strokes and sight loss among potential results of a misplaced jab.
He said: “More young people come to me asking for a certain look which gets more ‘likes’ and ‘followers’.” If his petition gets 100,000 signatures it will be debated in parliament.
Last month, a plastic surgeon warned women are getting Botox and fillers to cure their “resting bitch face” in a bizarre new surgery trend.
