It provides step by step instructions on:

• setting up a laser practice
• evaluating patients preoperatively

• preventing and managing complications
• postoperative skin care and maintenance

Complementing the text are 116 full colour photographs, all of them new to this edition, and new chapters in this edition cover laser-assisted hair removal and Erbium YAG laser resurfacing.
