Doctors have warned that youngsters who may like to act older than their age, shouldn't undergo using Botox and fillers until they are 30.
Almost a third of Australians using anti-ageing treatments are aged between 18 and 29, new figures show, with doctors reporting 17-year-olds requesting injections and mothers taking their 15-year-old daughters for lip fillers.
Now doctors are urging young people to hold off from such treatments until they turn 30, the Telegraph reported.
The latest survey by the Cosmetic Physicians Society of Australasia found 28 percent of those having cosmetic anti-ageing treatments, often to prevent wrinkles later on, were 29 or younger, up from 9.7 percent the year before.
The society's spokeswoman Dr Susan Austin said that starting treatment early could delay signs of ageing, but lifestyle factors were more effective.
