This concise and practical manual is an essential
reference for otolaryngologists, dermatologists, plastic surgeons,
and ophthalmologists who use lasers for skin resurfacing. The
book guides the reader step by step through procedures using carbon
dioxide or Erbium YAG lasers to minimize facial lines, facial
scars, and superficial cutaneous lesions.
Coverage includes all the information the practitioner needs to
ensure that the procedure goes smoothly--specific laser resurfacing
techniques and detailed guidelines on patient evaluation, patient
preparation, laser safety, post-resurfacing patient management,
and management of complications. Additional chapters describe
the combined use of laser resurfacing with other facial rejuvenation
procedures and the use of botulinum toxin as an adjunct to laser
resurfacing. The book includes numerous full-color photographs
and helpful charts.
