Procedures in Cosmetic Dermatology Scar Management 2nd Edition

Procedures in Cosmetic Dermatology: Scar Management, 2nd Edition is a practical clinical guide to medical, light and laser, surgical, and non-surgical approaches to scar treatment. It reviews connective tissue biology, wound healing, and scar formation, then moves into procedural how-to's with step-by-step guidance on proper techniques, pitfalls, and tricks of the trade.

New chapters cover minimally invasive procedures, management of keloids and hypertrophic scars, acne scarring, and traumatic and burn scars, alongside patient case studies and treatment algorithms. The book also includes two new videos on lasers and energy-based devices, and is illustrated throughout with color photographs, treatment algorithms, and further reading lists.

This second edition is edited by Jessica G. Labadie, Murad Alam, and Jeffrey S. Dover, and published by Elsevier in 2024. It is supplied as an EPUB and a converted PDF: the PDF is fixed layout for printing and exact formatting, while the EPUB is reflowable for e-readers and mobile devices.
