Procedures in Cosmetic Dermatology Photodynamic Therapy 3rd Edition

This third edition of Procedures in Cosmetic Dermatology: Photodynamic Therapy provides practical, procedure-focused guidance on photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cutaneous infections, skin cancers, precancerous lesions, and skin rejuvenation, with particular attention to aging and sun-damaged skin. Content is reorganized into distinct sections on medicine, oncology, and aesthetics, covering follicular disorders, pre-cancer and prevention, neoplasia and skin cancer, rejuvenation, and infections.

New material addresses novel photosensitizers, daylight photodynamic therapy, and transepidermal delivery of topical sensitizers, while the text discusses common pitfalls and ways to optimize outcomes. A wealth of color illustrations and photographs depict cases as they present in practice, and post-photodynamic therapy care information sheets are included for patients.

Supplied as an EPUB file with a file size of 4.4 MB, the book is published in 2025 and runs to its third edition. An eBook version is included with purchase, allowing access to all text, figures, and references with search, customization, note-taking, highlighting, and read-aloud functions; additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date.
