Product Description

This is a multi-authored textbook that is simple, practical, and up-to-date and supported by instructional videos for cosmetic procedures that can be performed in an office setting. The focus of the book is on fillers, neurotoxins, and various laser, broad band light, radio-frequency, and ultrasound devices that are currently being used or about to be released. It also covers suture suspension lifts, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. There are supporting chapters on various local, topical, nerve-blocking, and sedation anesthetic techniques that are typically used in an office setting. The book's format and contents are a bold departure from many textbooks. In addition to chapters discussing the theory behind the products and chapters reviewing categories of products or devices that provide the reader with an overview and some comparative discussion, there are short sections for each individual popular branded type of product. The book is useful for both experienced practitioners interested in the latest trends around the world and those who are starting out or are simply interested in adding new procedures to a practice that already includes certain cosmetic procedures.

Quite Disappointed
Had higher hopes for this book. Did not find it to be all that practical at all, and didn't really provide much additional knowledge above what you can get in something as simple as Derm Requisites: Cosmetic Dermatology. If i had looked through the book sooner, I would have returned it, but its too late now.

DERMATOLOGIC & COSMETIC PROCEDURES IN OFFICE PRACTICE
AS A ENTRY LEVEL NURSE PRACTITIONER, I FOUND THIS BOOK TO BE INVALUABLE. IT HAS WONDERFUL PICTURES FOR EACH STEP OF A PROCEDURE. THE INSTUCTIONS ARE EASY TO UNDERSTAND. IT COVERS ALL THE PROCEDURES THAT EMPLOYERS WOULD LIKE FOR AN NP TO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN PERFORMING IN THE CLINICAL SETTING.IT IS UP TO DATE AND PROVIDES POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS FOR EACH PROCEDURE. THIS IS VALUABLE IN OBTAINING AN INFORMED CONSENT FROM THE PATIENT PRIOR TO THE PROCEDURE. ADDITIONALLY, IT PROVIDES THE PRACTITIONER WITH THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO QUICKLY ASCERTAIN IF ANY COMPLICATIONS ARE DEVELOPING.

Very useful in daily practice
I am a Primary Care Physician with a special interest in Dermatology. I got this book during a medical conference (Pri-Med in Boston). In reviewing this book, I found it is really helful in my practice because every procedure is very well explained. For example, it has tables for recommended doses of steroid injections, as well as guidence in the type of equipment needed for every procedure. The pictures are excellent. The book has a DVD if you need more details about a particular topic and it has a link to access online. The authors give advice for coding and billing, which keep non-profit organizations in business. I love this book. I use it every day in my practice and recommend it to any practicioner wanting to improve their skills in dealing with dermatological procedures.

Be sure to stop by facial feminization today!

Plastic surgeries and cosmetic procedures are steadily rising all over the U.S. and creating big business for those in the industry. The top four surgical and non surgical cosmetic procedures performed are breast augmentation, liposuction, Botox and Hyaluronic Acid (or fillers). We are a society obsessed with appearance and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Like I said, this industry is a big business and unfortunately, these procedures are pricey. Lucky for us, the beauty industry has caught on to this obsession and has created products that mimic or can imitate the effects of plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures for a fraction of the cost....
