I have a mild persistent erythema and facial flushing (rosacea). I tried botox with a dermatologist who used botox on facial flushing for the first time (one session, 27 units in both cheeks, no microdoplets). Results: no improvement. I also read that dilution and dosing may have an effect on the outcome. Some sucess case reports talk about very dilute concentration, superficially injections... wich was not the case at my first try. Could another approach make a difference?

Answer: Botox on facial flushing Botox is not the only treatment to treat rosacea; it can be used and useful, but it is not usually recommended at first. The number of units used should be enough to improve your condition; however, maybe the technique used wasn’t the right one. You can treat your condition with a combination of laser and topical treatments; however, your condition should be evaluated entirely by a professional to decide which one will be better for you. Go for a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist with previous experience treating rosacea with botox if you want to try it again or ask for further recommendations.

Answer: Botox can be a very beneficial treatment for rosacea or flushing. Thank you for your question. Botox can be a very beneficial treatment for rosacea or flushing. It is typically injected in small amounts very superficially. I recommend you seek re-evaluation with your injector to see if they felt confident in their technique and would agree your skin was not responsive to the Botox and would recommend trying other treatment options or whether they would consider another repeat treatment with modified technique.

Answer: Botox on facial flushing. Could another approach make a difference? Everyone has unique expressions. We move our facial muscles in a repetitive way and over time those repetitive movements cause wrinkles and fine lines. When you start to experience the signs of aging, Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are available to diminish unwanted wrinkles and creases in your face.Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin lock the release of a chemical called acetylcholine, which triggers the muscle contractions that create wrinkles. Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin essentially paralyze the muscles and stops them from contracting. Results from these treatments are visible within 3-7 days with results that can last anywhere from 3-4 months.
