Hi I have rosacea I feel it has aged my skin for some reason. I am also prone to allergic reactions on my face and I have had a few reactions throughout my adult life. I recently had an allergic reaction to finacea recently. I have always looked younger than my age but with the onset of rosacea, a period of severe stress and and illness I feel more wrinkles appearing. My sister has rosacea and the results are great. What would you recommend to minimise risks if I I did opt to have botox?
