Laser Dermatology

This book represents the most up-to-date description of the state of the art in laser and light source technology. After an initial chapter describing the latest understanding of laser physics and safety, subsequent chapters take up the laser treatment, respectively, of vascular lesions, pigmented lesions and tattoos, unwanted hair, ablative and non-ablative resurfacing, and its use for medical purposes. Very practical and reader-friendly: Each chapter is very well-illustrated, and includes quick and easy bullet points and repetitive structure such as core concepts, currently available technologies, indications and contraindications, and an example of each author's consent form and personal treatment approaches. The Editor, Goldberg, speaker of the American Academy of Dermatology, gathered world experts from North America and Europe for this volume. He actively promotes his publications on his webpage and already got the cover and URL to link to the Springer page www.skinandlasers.com.
