Micro-Botox or classic Botox injections for facial flushing?

thomas54Dec 25, 2018
Two MD have diagnosed me a mild persistent erythema and some facial flushing (rosacea). IPL, beta blockers and Rhofade have bring great improvements, but my flushs are always annoying. That’s why I would try Botox, but I don’t know if I must try Micro-Botox or classic botox injections. What is the advantage of Micro-Botox? Is it most adapted to facial flushing?

It sounds like you need to switch gears and try something different than Botox. Perhaps having some microneedling. Good luck. Dr. ALDO
