Editorial Reviews

Review

"I Like this book. It provides both an overview and very explicit information about lasers and their cutaneous and aesthetic uses. Throughout the photographic images are excellent with respect to quality, composition, and appropriateness to demonstrate the points being made. "Extensive terminology is explained and clarified. ...this cross-specialty book is neither too complex for the neonate nor too simple for the moderately advanced plastic surgeon who uses lasers. Even the most experienced laser surgeon would benefit. The book is very reasonably priced considering the many color photographs and the expertise and information contained therein."--Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery )

From the Publisher

This book is much more than a description of new and established techniques and technology. The team of contributing authors, Jeffey S. Dover, Kenneth A. Arndt, Roy G. Geronemus, and Maria Beatrice T. Alora, includes the pioneers of laser surgery, so this text represents years of shared experience and expertise. This distinguished group has carefully analyzed a range of laser surgery procedures and broken each procedure into simply written key steps. They have also used their years of experience to identify common pitfalls and to share practical tips with their readers. The clearly organized text is generously illustrated with tables, diagrams, and over 370 full color photographs.

This review is from: Illustrated Cutaneous & Aesthetic Laser Surgery (Hardcover)

Who could have imagined in the early years of lasers, that one day they would be vital for skin surgery? Many people are already familiar with how lasers are used in eye surgery. But the book shows that for treating various skin ailments, lasers are also proving vital.

The book is written for a medical professional. It covers the various types of lasers used in treatment, like dye lasers, or the continuous wave models. It shows the different techniques that each can be used for.

Cosmetic surgery also gets prominent discussion here. A quite lucrative speciality. And the ability of lasers to remove skin blemishes is quite remarkable.
