3.0 out of 5 stars Poorly written and difficult to read, March 14, 2007

This review is from: Cellulite: Pathophysiology and Treatment (Basic and Clinical Dermatology) (Hardcover)

This book is written largely by European experts on Cellulite. There is much to learn and good referencing but the language is poor and difficult to read. Many of the statements and recommendations are difficult to evaluate in view of the variety of treatments and the lack of substantive clinical research.
After slogging through, it is still difficult to judge the appropriate management of this condition.
