This book is a practical guide to the use of lasers and other energy-based technologies in dermatologic and aesthetic practice.
Divided into seven sections, the text begins with discussion on analysis of the aging face, different devices, and principles and applications.
The following sections cover therapy for various dermatologic and aesthetic disorders including vascular, hair, pigmentary and tattoos, rejuvenation, scar remodelling and body contouring; and soft tissue fillers and neuromodulators.
The final section examines the use of laser therapies for medical applications such as for the treatment of acne, nonmelanoma skin cancer, and onychomycosis (a fungal infection of the fingernails or toenails).
Authored by Massachusetts-based experts in the field, this comprehensive book is highly illustrated with clinical photographs and tables.
