Product Description
 The definitive guide to adapting cosmetic procedures to skin of color
   A Doody's Core Title for 2011!
   "This
book is informative about treating patients with darker skin and I
would recommend it to any dermatologist who sees these patients. The
authors' presentations are unbiased and their conclusions are clear. I
know I will reread many of the chapters when I see patients with skin
types 4-6. 3 Stars."--Doody's Review Service
   Cosmetic Dermatology for Skin of Color
expertly explains how patient assessment, surgical intervention, and
medical treatment (including cosmeceuticals) differ for patients with

improve efficacy, reduce treatment time, and minimize adverse effects in
