Review

Aus den Rezensionen:  “... Wer sich Zeit für das Buch nimmt, wird mit einem breiten Hintergrundwissen über Hautalterung belohnt. ... Zusammenfassung macht das Buch zu einem wertvollen Nachschlagewerk. … ein sehr umfangreiches Werk … das sich durch eine vielfältige Herangehensweise an das Thema auszeichnet …“ (Isabella Fried, in: JDDG Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, 2011, Vol. 9, Issue 2, S. 170) “... Der Band erfüllt alle Ansprüche an eine wissenschaftliche Darstellung und ist umfassend. Ein solches Buch ist wichtig. Verschiedene Fachgruppen die in der Anti-Aging-Medizin tätig sind, werden es lesen, nicht nur ... Dermatologen. ... es werde viele sein, da die Altershaut ein klinisch relevantes Thema ist, bei dem es nicht nur um, sich wohlfühlen, sondern auch um Gesundheit geht.“ (C Bayerl Wiesbaden, in: Aktuelle Dermatologie, April/2011, S. 138)
