Comparative study between fractional laser assisted drug delivery of botulinum toxin versus botulinum toxin injection in primary palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis
2025
Overview
Palmar hyperhidrosis is common condition that is challenging to treat. Nonsurgical treatments include topical antiperspirants, iontophoresis, anticholinergic drugs and botulinum toxin injections. To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ablative fractional laser therapy, combined with topically applied botulinum toxin versus its injection for the treatment of hyperhidrosis. This study included 40 patients with pimary hyperhydrosis divided into two groups. Group A (
n
= 20) diagnosed with primary axillary hyperhidrosis was further subdivided into 2 equal subgroups; for which was used fractional laser assisted drug delivery of botulinum toxin in right axilla and botulinum toxin injection in left axilla. Group B (
n
= 20) diagnosed with primary palmer hyperhidrosis was further subdivided into 2 equal subgroups; for which was used fractional laser assisted drug delivery of botulinum toxin in right palm and botulinum toxin injection in left palm. There was a statistically significant decrease in the hyperhidrosis disease severity scale (HDSS) in all subgroups after treatment as compared to before treatment. Following 3 months of treatment, the amount of sweat as detected by transepidermal water loss (TEWL) was statistically significantly lower in the injection subgroup in both the axillary group (
p
= 0.075) and the palmer group (
p
< 0.001). The use of both botulinum toxin injection and laser assisted botulinum toxin drug delivery were associated with significant improvement in the manifestation, disease severity and quality of life in the cases with both axillary and palmer hyperhidrosis. Fractional CO
