PY - 2011 T2 - Color Atlas of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2e AB - There has been a revolution in the treatment of medical and cosmetic disorders of the skin. In large part, this is due to the availability of procedures and technologies that produce clear, cosmetic benefit with few side effects and little downtime. With the advent of lasers and light sources over the past 20 years, cosmetic improvement is a matter of quick, relatively painless procedures. Non-laser treatments such as soft tissue fillers, botulinum toxin injections, sclerotherapy, hair transplantation and others have also dramatically expanded the scope of this field. These procedures coincide with the busy lifestyle of many patients who seek an improvement in appearance that does not interfere with their professional, social or personal obligations.
