Utilities of Botulinum Toxins in Dermatology and Cosmetology

The document reviewed the use of Botulinum Toxins (BoNT) in dermatology and cosmetology, highlighting its applications in treating conditions such as oily skin, rosacea, facial flushing, scars, rhytides, and alopecia. BoNT was found to reduce sebum production, improve symptoms of rosacea, aid in scar prevention, and provide a relaxed appearance by treating wrinkles. It also showed potential in enhancing hair regrowth by improving oxygen supply to hair follicles. Psychological benefits were noted, but further research was needed to optimize treatment protocols and confirm efficacy. BoNT-A was effective in conditions like hyperhidrosis, psoriasis, and hidradenitis suppurativa, though more studies were necessary to establish standardized protocols and assess long-term safety.
