Published 1 June 2022

Background

In October 2021, the Botulinum Toxin and Cosmetic Fillers (Children) Act came into force.

The main purpose of the act is to prohibit the administering of botulinum toxin, or a filler by way of injection for a cosmetic purpose, to a person under 18 in England. It will also be an offence to make arrangements to undertake, or arrange for another person to undertake, these procedures on a person under 18 in England.

There is guidance to support local authorities and the police in successfully implementing the legislation .

In 2022 to 2023 the total Botulinum Toxin and Cosmetic Fillers (Children) Act grant to local authorities will be £1,465,699. The grant will support local authorities in England with expenditure lawfully incurred or to be incurred because of the Botulinum Toxin and Cosmetic Fillers (Children) Act 2021.
