Textbook of Cosmetic Dermatology PDF

Preface

The fourth edition of the Textbook of Cosmetic Dermatology focuses on the ‘‘evidencebased'' approach to cosmetic skin, hair, and nail science. Preceding editions published contrasting observations; this edition benefits from the increasing numbers of individuals who have directed their work to controlled observations in cutaneous biology as it relates to skin care. Although this textbook was originally intended for the dermatologist, we are pleased that cosmetic scientists have found this view of cutaneous biology of value and have supported us in blending the traditional cosmetic science with skin biology.

We appreciate the hard work and suggestions of our authors and readers and welcome suggestions for a future edition.

The editorial wisdom of our publisher, Robert Peden, is greatly appreciated.
