Advanced Professional Skin Care

The definitive text designed to instruct, coordinate and consolidate the various practitioners in the field of skin care into a network of professionals with a consistent language for diagnosis and treatment. Stressing the importance of referral options available to estheticians, plastic surgeons, nurses, dermatologists and cosmetic salespersons, ADVANCED PROFESSIONAL SKINCARE details the anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and aging process of the skin, and discusses current methodologies for treatment. The hard-bound text is 428 pages, fully illustrated, extensive glossaries and references, and an indispensible diagnostic photo-chart of skin disorders requiring medical treatment. Discussing the return of aromatherapy, nutrition and stress management brings a total-body/total being approach to skin care. A comprehensive look at skin care ingredients brings new information regarding the physiological compatibility of cosmetics and the skin. Authored by biomedical consultant Peter T. Pugliese, M.D., a recognized skin physiologist and specialist in the evaluation of topical agents, this textbook is destined to take its place as valuable a reference for skin care professionals as Gray's Anatomy has been for medical students worldwide.
