Reviews

From the reviews:

"This small-format book is … packed with useful information. It is aptly edited by David J. Goldberg and includes an outstanding international group of authors. … Even with its small size, this text contains 108 figures and 15 tables. The photographs are well executed and selected to demonstrate specific clinical conditions and results. If you are looking for an up-to-date treatise on lasers in dermatology, this book will fit the bill. It can function as a minireference for residents or those new to laser technology." (William P. Coleman, Dermatologic Surgery, Vol. 32, 2006)
