Cosmetics and Dermatologic Problems and Solutions

This text takes a serious look at the integration of skin care products, cosmetics, hair adornments, and nail cosmetics in the daily practice of dermatology, expanding the realm of disease treatment beyond diagnosis and treatment into the maintenance phase of healthy skin, hair, and nails. It covers all aspects of cosmetic dermatology presented in a fashion that allows the dermatologist to use this material in everyday practice.
