Treatment of rosacea with botulinum toxin

Abstract

Rosacea is a common chronic skin disease that has several clinical manifestations, with erythema and inflammation being predominant characteristics. Its presence is associated with psychosocial impact on patients' lives. Although there are several options for topical and systemic treatments, it is known that only the inflammation is treated and that the erythema persists in most cases. More recently, there have been some publications describing the treatment of rosacea with botulinum toxin associated with good results. In this manner, the authors sought to evaluate the action of botulinum toxin in the treatment of rosacea that is persistent and refractory to various clinical treatments.
