Besides, it causes contracture, itching, or tingling that puts patients under physical pain and emotional stress [1,2]. Additionally, the presence of facial scars may profoundly affect the daily routines and psychosocial well-being of patients [1][2][3].…”

Background: Botulinum toxin type A (BTA) has a wide range of clinical applications, and its use in improving aesthetics is one of them. The aim of this study was to better assess the efficacy and safety of BTA in patients with facial scars. Summary: We extracted the data of the visual analog scale (VAS) score, Vancouver scar scale (VSS) score, scar width, observer scar assessment scale (OSAS), patient scar assessment scale (PSAS), and/or drug-related adverse events. Five studies provided the data of VAS score, and the results showed that the VAS score in the BTA group was significantly higher than that in the control group. Three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reported the VSS score. A statistically significant difference exists between the BTA group and the control group. Three RCTs reported the scar width after BTA treatment. A more favorable change was found in the BTA group with scar width even without statistical significance. Data about the OSAS and PSAS scores were available in two trials. There was no significant difference in OSAS and PSAS scores between the BTA group and the control group. Only three studies recorded three slight adverse events. There were no reports of severe complications. In conclusions, this study demonstrated that BTA has the potential to improve facial scars with an acceptable safety profile.

Scars can adversely affect the physical, mental and social well-being of the patient. Common treatments for scar removal include external treatments, chemical peels, mechanical resurfacing, laser resurfacing, injection techniques, physiotherapy, and surgical excision. The search for combined treatment methods is an urgent and priority direction. Methods of phoresis are in demand in the correction of scars, when changes in the structures of the dermis and hypoderm significantly reduce the penetration of topical drugs and allow to achieve a greater therapeutic effect.
