Abstract:
Pathological scars,primarily including hypertrophic scars and keloids,have long been a challenge for dermatology and burn plastic surgery.Despite numerous treatment methods being applied to basic and clinical research on pathological scarring,there is still no definitive scheme for its prevention and treatment.Botulinum Toxin Type A(BoNT-A),widely used in dermatology and aesthetic surgery since 2000 for improving scar appearance.In recent years,there have been a large number of basic and clinical experiments investigating the role of BoNT-A in the prevention and treatment of scars.This article reviews the progress of BoNT-A research on pathological scars to provide new perspectives for their prevention and treatment.
