Laser Dermatology: Pearls and Problems

This is the first all-inclusive text on the pitfalls, complications and controversies surrounding the use of lasers in dermatology and aesthetic medicine. Each chapter starts off by highlighting the key points and essential concepts, followed by a review of the associated pearls and problems. This title provides the reader with tips on how to improve the safe and effective use of lasers. Its images focus on the pearls and problems. Laser Dermatology: Pearls and Problems is different from other laser dermatology books. Each of the five chapters begins by highlighting key points and essential concepts, then focuses on the pearls and problems for each area - based on the author’s vast experience in the field of laser dermatology. Dr. Goldberg addresses: Vascular Lasers; Laser Hair Removal; Pigmented Lesions, Tattoos, and Disorders of Hypopigmentation; Ablative Lasers and Devices; and, Non-Ablative Photorejuvenation and Skin Remodeling. Dr. Goldberg goes beyond the standard ‘before and after’ approach to use actual images to demonstrate the pearls and pitfalls discussed in the text.
