Botulinum toxin may be used to inhibit the cascade of events leading to acne. Results in preliminary studies have been dramatic. Withoout wishing to be bound by this theory, it is believed that botulinum toxin achieves this result through parasympathetic effects, inhibiting sweat gland activity, stimulating keratinocyte locomotion, anti-inflammatory effects, and possibly anti- androgenic effects. Botulinum toxin can play an important role in decreasing and even preventing the formation of acne.

la toxine botulinique peut s'utiliser pour enrayer la cascade d'événements conduisant à l'apparition de l'acné. Les résultats d'études préliminaires sont spectaculaires. Sans vouloir être absolument formel, on peut avancer l'hypothèse que la toxine botulinique agit par des effets parasympathiques en inhibant l'activité des glandes sudoripares et en stimulant la locomotion des kératinocytes, par des effets anti-inflammatoires et peut-être par des effets anti-androgéniques. La toxine botulinique peut contribuer de façon importante à réduire, voire à empêcher la formation de l'acné.
