N2 - Edited by MR Avram, S Tsao, Z Tannous, and MM Avram Over the past decade, we
have witnessed the rapid evolution of cosmetic dermatology, augmented by the
advancements in cosmetic techniques and instruments. The Color Atlas of Cosmetic
Dermatology is a comprehensive publication that covers the latest knowledge and
techniques in cosmetic dermatology. Unlike any conventional color atlas that
contains only photographs with legends, the Color Atlas of Cosmetic Dermatology
includes equal amounts of the figures and relevant texts, making this book also a
concise and reader-friendly textbook. The chapters are arranged according to the
cosmetic disorders. In each chapter, the disorder is briefly reviewed with an
organized introduction to the epidemiology, pathogenesis, dermatopathology,
physical lesions, differential diagnosis, laboratory examination, and course. The
book also provides explicit guidance for the attending clinicians, outlining
consultative questions, management, pearls for treatment success, pitfalls to
avoid, complications, and outcome expectations. In addition, the cosmetic
procedures employed are clearly illustrated in a step-by-step manner. This book
does not only serve as a useful guide for the clinicians; the pre-and post-
treatment photographs are also valuable references during patient consultations,
helping the explanations of the cosmetic procedures and outcomes. This book shall
be listed as an elemental gadget for the cosmetic practices.
