Sunlight and gravity cause facial aging. Lasers enable safe and predictable resurfacing to smooth facial wrinkles as well as surgery to remove aging tissue from eyelids while minimizing bruising. Lasers can also eliminate excess blood vessels and unwanted hair, and erase tattoos without scarring.

Laser surgery must be performed with great precision and care. Ideally, it should provide satisfactory improvement of one's appearance and do so with no adverse side effects. It is a complement to such non-laser surgeries as face-lift.

Understanding Cosmetic Laser Surgery spells out the technology of the laser and its suitability for many cosmetic surgeries. Included in the discussions are the physiology of the skin, the basics of the surgical procedure, the preparation for surgery, a pointing out of risks, and an advisory on the postoperative recovery. This information is presented in clear, jargon-free language that explains how a laser procedure is accomplished without affecting the surrounding skin.

A comprehensive overview that keeps the patient's perspective in mind, Understanding Cosmetic Laser Surgery is for the general reader and for those considering this elective surgical procedure.

This useful, enlightening book written by a practicing professional answers questions patients ask and lets them know what to expect from surgery.


Review:

Excellent book!

Dr. Langdon has written an extremely informative book. With the detail of a medical expert and scientist Dr. Langdon explains to the reader the various aspects of modern cosmetic laser procedures and laser technology. I found this book clearly written, easy to read and walked away with a deeper understanding then I expected.

I recommend this book to anybody that is interested in a better insight into cosmetic laser procedures and the options available.
