Keywords:
Primary palmar hyperhidrosis, Laser-assisted drug delivery, Botulinum toxin type A, Fractional CO2 laserAbstract
Primary palmar hyperhidrosis (PPH) can be challenging for both patient and physician. Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A)injection has been shown to be useful in treating PPH, whilst it causes pain and discomfort in most of the patient. Herein, we report a male patient with PPH who had shown a promising outcome after being treated with fractional CO2 laser-assisted BTX-Adelivery with no adverse effects.References
