Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews: "On 170 pages basic theoretical and practical aspects of skin aging are discussed. … The tables are of high quality and well chosen. A wide-ranging list of up-to-date references is provided. … The book has a clear structure, a well-organized layout with ‘core messages’ and a list of contents at the start of each chapter. Overall this volume is highly recommended for those who want to become specialized in the field of medical cosmetics and aesthetic reconstructive dermatology." (Christiane Bayerl, Archives of Dermatological Research, Vol. 298, 2006) "This is an ambitious little book. It attempts to cover a broad variety of topics in the field of cosmetic dermatology. … the target audience of this small book is probably those with little or no experience in cosmetic dermatology. … the book is nicely presented. It is well organized into numerous small sections and is well referenced. … a resident or medical student interested in this field would benefit from reading it." (William P. Coleman III, American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, Vol. 32, 2006)
