A recent investigation by NOS Stories reveals that minors are frequently exposed to advertisements for cosmetic procedures like botox and fillers on TikTok, despite regulations prohibiting such marketing to those under 18. Over 200 minors reported encountering these ads, leading to increased body image issues and uncertainties about their appearance. Influencers contribute to this perception, with one 15-year-old expressing feelings of insecurity in comparison to them. Although TikTok claims such advertisements are restricted to an adult audience, critics highlight the flaws in the system, prompting calls for stricter adherence to existing regulations.
