Abstract "The Practical Guide series, including this current laser book, was created to assist providers with acquiring the necessary knowledge and skill to perform minimally invasive, office-based cosmetic procedures. The books are not intended to be comprehensive, but rather focus on treatments that address the most commonly encountered aesthetic complaints. In addition, procedures were chosen that consistently achieve good outcomes and have a low incidence of side-effects. While treatments can be performed independently, most procedures discussed complement and work synergistically with other aesthetic procedures to enhance results. Instruction on how to safely and effectively perform each procedure is provided using a concise step-by-step format"-- Provided by publisher.
