Reviews

...a balanced delineation of classical standard therapies and physical treatment options... profound clinical expertise in laser/light treatments... condensed enough to serve also non-dermatologists to gain a quick overview of current knowledge in this field... presents the relevant topical and systemic acne treatments in a comprehensive way and includes also detailed descriptions of side effects and applicability during pregnancy... In conclusion, this clearly structured book is useful for dermatologists in practice and training as well as for plastic surgeons, general physicians, and all health care personnel applying laser/light treatments for acne and rosacea. The size of the book is easy-to-handle and allows acquiring a broad insight in pathophysiology of both diseases and a balanced overview of medical and cosmetic therapies with a reasonable expenditure of time and money. -- A. Thielitz Archives of Dermatological Research 20120328
