Overview

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.

<p>From the reviews: <p> This small-format book is packed with useful information. It is aptly edited by David J. Goldberg and includes an outstanding international group of authors. Even with its small size, this text contains 108 figures and 15 tables. The photographs are well executed and selected to demonstrate specific clinical conditions and results. If you are looking for an up-to-date treatise on lasers in dermatology, this book will fit the bill. It can function as a minireference for residents or those new to laser technology. (William P.
