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.
