Secondary form is treated causally or symptomatically with medication. Results: This presentation will cover all the different therapeutic modalities with botulinum toxin in the treatment of the different localisation of HH. The correct application of the iontophoresis is presented. A special focus will be the anaesthesia after Kreyden for treating palmoplantar HH with botulinum injections. Conclusion: Botulinum toxin is the therapy of first choice in primary essential focal HH. However the correct treatment plan for excellent results is essential.
