Editorial Reviews

Review
"This book should be in every laser surgeon's waiting room for perusal by patients." --The American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery

Product Description
Cosmetic laser surgery is an exciting new alternative to traditional plastic surgical procedures designed to beautify and correct physical defects. The advantages of laser surgery are impressive: procedures take just minutes to perform; are often accomplished with only a local anesthetic; require no incisions, blood loss, or sutures; and involve minimal recovery periods. Lasers offer noninvasive treatment for an extensive and growing list of conditions that previously required full-blown surgery to correct, including acne scars, tattoos, spider and varicose veins, birthmarks, crow's feet, lines around the mouth, and excess or thinning hair.

Despite all the benefits, however, it is imperative to remember that cosmetic laser surgery is surgery. Consumers considering elective cosmetic procedures must be well informed. Beauty and the Beam is the ideal source of information on this topic and will guide readers in selecting the safest and most experienced practitioner; describe what to expect in a facility; explain what each kind of surgery entails; and show how costs differ from region to region and from practitioner to practitioner.

Beauty and the Beam answers nearly every question readers may have about this hot new technology and provides step-by-step methods for evaluating their own needs and seeking the most qualified practitioner.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Book on Cosmetic Laser Surgery!, April 25, 1998
By A Customer
WEBSITE:


"Beauty andthe Beam" - the laser beam, that is - that spells out the
miracle of laser technology, the many cosmetic proceduresit performs,
its possible hazards, and the degree to which allhealth-care consumers
must be informed before allowing anyone to wield this powerful tool on
themselves or their children. It is truly the first comprehensive book
for both lay people and physicians about the revolutionary phenomenon of
cosmetic laser surgery.


It answers all your questions about wrinkles, skin blemishes, tattoos, birthmarks, and numerous other skin problems. Also includes stunning graphics and amazing before-and-after color photos that will interest and inspire confidence in anyone contemplating cosmetic laser surgery. END

1.0 out of 5 stars Another gimmick to make money, January 19, 2003
By A Customer
If the doctor tells you the same thing in person as in the book, then I might think it was helpful, but since most doctors aren't honest when it comes to lasers, I know most of the facts in this book are not necessarily true and aren't what the doctor actually tells you in person. Lasers are very invasive procedures that can cause permanent damage.
