Physiology of the Skin II An Expanded Scientific Guide Forthe Skin Care Professional

"This is the story of skin. No research has explained fully why one person's skin behaves differently from another person's. That is the challenge and the opportunity for estheticians and all skin care specialists: to know and use both the science and the art of skin care." So says Peter T. Pugliese, MD, perhaps the leading authority on the science and art of skin care. Physiology of the Skin II is one of the industry's premier textbooks, used by many esthetic schools to present the facets of skin physiology and the role of the esthetician in identifying and treating skin problems. Organized in two sections - Science and Application - Dr. Pugliese provides illustrations and well-organized, detailed charts to help readers understand the material. The Science section includes: -The Behavior of normal skin -Free radicals and the skin -Elastin: the youth protein The Application section of the book begins with Immunology of the Skin Care Specialist and continues with: -How wrinkles develop -Biology of acnetic skin -The power of chemical peels As a textbook, Physiology of the Skin II is unsurpassed in providing a basic understanding of science that facilitates the comprehension of the critical application chapters.
