One mam said she would let her daughter try it "as long as it's reversible".
The director of the Sisu Clinic, Dr. Brian Cotter stressed that we need stricter legislation when it comes to dermal filler.
He told Newstalk that the dermal filler industry is "an unregulated industry targeting a younger demographic... they view it not as anti-ageing but as wellness".
However, he said people are exposing themselves to side effects if they don't go to a qualified professional.
"If you inject any- thing into the face, for example, if you unintentionally inject into an artery, you can block the blood flow to certain parts of the face."
"Dermal filler is classed as a medical device and this is where legislation has to come in," he said.
Would you let your child get filler or is it something all teenagers should stay away from?
