This review is from: Ablative and Non-ablative Facial Skin Rejuvenation (Hardcover)

This book is not worth the cost, the photographs are pretty awful, you can't tell the difference between the before and after photographs, in about 95% of them.

It talks about the procedures, but not in enough detail, like pre-op, laser medication and post-op care.

This book lacks so much information, that would have been very helpful to a Consumer or MD.

It's basically a book with a lot of poor photographs and would put consumers off the laser procedures, because there was hardly any difference between the photographs (only red faces). Most of the before photograph's looked better than the post-op one's even when the redness had gone.
