Facial aesthetic treatments — including dermal fillers and wrinkle reduction injections — are becoming increasingly popular among people wanting to feel more confident and rejuvenated. But how old do you need to be to have these treatments?
In the UK, it is illegal to provide injectable aesthetic treatments to anyone under 18. This includes dermal fillers and wrinkle-relaxing injections (commonly referred to as Botox). This law was introduced to protect young people from making decisions they may later regret and from unnecessary cosmetic procedures at such a young age.
While 18 is the legal minimum, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right age for everyone. Facial aesthetic treatments are most commonly sought by people in their late twenties and beyond, when early signs of ageing — such as fine lines, loss of volume, or slight sagging — start to appear.
Treatment suitability should always be based on individual needs, not just age. At Evolve Dentistry, we focus on enhancing natural beauty rather than dramatically changing how someone looks. We assess each patient carefully to ensure treatments are appropriate, safe, and in their best interest.
It’s also important that patients are mature enough to make fully informed decisions. Cosmetic treatments can have a big impact on self-image, and it’s crucial to understand the risks, benefits, and realistic outcomes before having treatment.
Regardless of age, a proper consultation is essential. At Evolve Dentistry, we take time to understand your motivations, discuss your concerns, and make sure you have all the information you need to make a confident choice. We will never recommend or carry out treatments that we believe are unnecessary or unsuitable.
Rather than focusing purely on age, we believe in helping you look and feel your best at every stage of life. Whether you’re interested in preventing the early signs of ageing or restoring lost volume later on, we’re here to guide you safely and professionally.
If you’re considering facial aesthetics and would like to learn more about whether it’s right for you, we’d be happy to discuss it in a friendly, no-pressure consultation. Contact Evolve Dentistry in Portishead today to take the first step towards a naturally confident you.
