Can a 15 Year Old Legally Get Botox?

Asked By:anonimo123

Can a 15 year old legally get Botox injected with parental consent? Not because of a small wrinkle that's barely noticeable or because of a lack of good confidence but because of under eye wrinkles that are really really noticeable when you smile and people point it out. They look like a older woman's wrinkles and it has gotten worse even when precautions have been taken. Is Botox good for under eye wrinkles or would something else work better such as Juvederm?
