Cutis laxa is characterized by the total loss of skin elasticity, which is also called generalized elastosis that leads to the appearance of early aging. Objective. The authors report a patient with cutis laxa in which botulinum toxin was used for the improvement of facial aesthetics. This is a case report with a literature review. Botulinum toxin was injected into the classical sites usually used for the treatment of dynamic wrinkles. Results. The patient showed improvement of the aging appearance. Conclusion. The use of botulinum toxin may represent an additional, less invasive resource to improve facial defects in these patients. |
