Abstract: 【Abstract】 Botulinum toxin A, a type of neurotoxin, is widely used in the field of cosmetic dermatology. Evidence has demonstrated that intradermal injections of botulinum toxin A can improve flushing and persistent erythema in patients with rosacea, while consensus on the treatment concentrations, doses, operation methods, courses, and intervals is still lacking. Based on guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of rosacea, as well as recent literature and clinical experience of various experts, members of the Rosacea Research Center of Chinese Society of Dermatology and the Rosacea Professional Committee of China Dermatologist Association developed this consensus, aiming to provide scientific and standardized reference for the intradermal injections with botulinum toxin A in the treatment of rosacea.
