Researchers Lucia Calvisi, MD, Alberto Diaspro, MD, MSc, and Giuseppe Sito, MD conducted a study that aimed to demonstrate how to use a particular dilution of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) in the treatment of mild-to-moderate acne vulgaris and erythematotelangiectactic rosacea.
The prospective evaluation, published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology (March 2022), found great promise in using microbotox for the treatment of these dermatological diseases.
