2nd ed. 2019 Edition
by Murad Alam (Editor)
This book compiles the best evidence in procedural dermatology,
including skin cancer surgery, laser techniques, minimally invasive
cosmetic surgery, and emerging techniques. Building on the highly
successful first edition, this volume provides much expanded coverage of
a range of topics. The best information is provided to reveal the most
appropriate interventions for particular indications, optimal treatment
techniques, and strategies for avoiding adverse events.
Evidence-Based
Procedural Dermatology, 2nd edition, includes two types of chapters:
procedures and indications. Each chapter is designed to be clear and
concise, with tables and flowcharts to showcase main findings. Each
cited study is tagged with a level of evidence, and every recommendation
includes a strength of evidence score.
More than double the
length of the first edition, this newest edition includes added
procedures and interventions like: new lasers and energy devices for
skin resurfacing and pigmentation; non-invasive fat reduction and skin
tightening using cryolipolysis, radiofrequency, ultrasound, and chemical
adipocytolysis; specific post-skin cancer excision reconstruction
techniques; and novel approaches for melanoma.
