Even those clinicians who feel themselves far from aesthetic
dermatology now recognise that BoNT-A is an extraordinary tool in
their therapeutic armamentarium for treating complex disorders such
as focal idiopathic hyperhidrosis. This has opened a therapeutic
scenario for a group of patients very difficult to treat
previously. Since the introduction of BoNT-A in the dermatological
therapeutic armamentarium, in 1990, things have changed to the
point that any dermatologist should now have knowledge of BoNT-A
basics, and the practicalities of BoNT-A vial reconstitution and
injection. Moreover, in the last years, a widespread availability
of multiple different commercially available forms of BoNT-A has
been for sale, thus the clinicians must now really know and
consider the advantages and disadvantages of the different
available products. These would include dosing/duration,
immunogenicity, and spread of effect. What has not changed over the
years is the safety profile of BoNT-A. The knowledge regarding its
side effects and complications have greatly increased, confirming
that, despite the attempts of some individuals to assert otherwise,
BoNT-A remains one of the safest forms of treatment available to us
as physicians. This edited collection provides a comprehensive
practical guide on the use of botulinum toxin in several
dermatological disorders, including focal idiopathic, axillary,
palmar and plantar, craniofacial or segmental hyperhidrosis,
chrono-aging, hidradenitis, and gives some suggestion on the use of
BoNT-A for the treatment of several orphan skin diseases, not
responding to conventional treatments like benign Hailey-Hiley
disease, lichen simplex, osmidrosis. Using clear explanations,
simple line drawings, diagrams and clinical pictures, it provides
suggestions to improve practical knowledge on the use of BTX-A in
dermatology. Hot topics include practical information for
clinicians regarding the correct counselling of the patients to be
treated; methods and ready to use tests to select patients to be
treated; the optimal dosage and dilution according to the site of
injection and the indication of use; the relevant injection sites
for each condition; the correct technique of injection in the
different areas of body surface; comparative dosage tables for the
various formulations of toxin used; how to manage and prevent side
effects related to the use of BoNT-A; common pitfalls and how to
optimize outcomes; timing for the follow-up of treated patients.
The authors hope that this book may be a starting point for the use
of a drug that is still growing, and a useful tool for those
clinicians who want to improve their knowledge about the use of
BoNT-A in dermatology.
