Rosacea

In treatments addressing muscular contraction, botulinum toxin inhibits nerves that innervate blood vessels from releasing acetylcholine, which triggers vasodilation. Its impact on the innate immune system suggests that botulinum toxin may also help reduce recalcitrant rosacea-related papules and pustules.

New treatments continue to expand therapy options, but a cure remains elusive.

Findings from a recent study indirectly support therapeutic approaches aimed at restoring the dermal matrix.
