BACKGROUND: 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.
