Overview
Cosmetic dermatology blends scientific understanding of skin biology with techniques that modify appearance for therapeutic or aesthetic goals. This foundational handbook explains skin ageing, photobiology, and the mechanisms behind resurfacing, injectables, and topical cosmeceuticals. It outlines core procedural skills—patient selection, consent, asepsis, and basic techniques—supported by stepwise photos and checklists. Safety chapters discuss complication recognition and early management to minimize adverse outcomes. Evidence summaries help readers judge claims about products and technologies. Ideal for dermatology trainees, aesthetic practitioners, and clinicians new to cosmetic practice, it builds a safe, science-based approach to aesthetic care.
