Skinworks

As eminent cosmetic surgeon and dermatologist writes for his patients. Dr. Barry Lycka gathers in this brief volume answers to the questions he hears most often - and sometimes most urgently - questions about those vital organs: our skin and the related tissues that most affect our appearance of youth, health and beauty. Dr. Lycka writes from a lifetime of experience about skin aging and disease, treatments and therapies. He provides a no-nonsense catalogue of the remarkable techniques modern cosmetic medicine has brought to bear on the challenge of improving our appearance. Peels and botox, electrolysis and cellulite, tummy tucks and facelifts, lasers and liposuction: they're all here - these and scores of other topics - all handled briefly and authoritively by a man who's devoted a career to improving his skills and other people's appearance.
