商品簡介
Editors Avram and Friedman present this overview of laser-based skin treatment procedures. The introduction reviews the physics of lasers, their usefulness in cutaneous conditions, and safety. Applications to vascular lesions, pigment lesions, tattoos, hair removal, and acne are considered, as well as ablative and non-ablative resurfacing. The last several chapters address photodynamic or photosensitization therapy, intense pulsed light devices, skin tightening/body contouring, specific issues with Asian skin, and future trends in laser devices. Chapters give some technical detail, but primarily present photographic results, efficacy data, and conceptual aspects including patient preparation and mechanism.
