MUDr. Zuzana Kulíková
Dermatovenerologická klinika FN Královské Vinohrady Praha

Botulinum toxin is a significant neurotoxin, which is produced by Clostridium botulinum bartery. Various species of this bartery produce

eight subtypes of botulotoxin. Type A is the most used and researched to date, but is also the most toxic one. In dermatology, botulotoxin

is used in two major indications, treatment of wrinkles and temporary decreasing focal hyperhidrosis.

Keywords: botulotoxin, Clostridium botulinum, mimic wrinkles, focal hyperhidrosis, contra-indication, complication.
