Читать книгу Microneedling - Группа авторов - Страница 7

The skin is our canvas. As a board certified dermatologist, it is my mission to help all my patients achieve healthy, beautiful skin. Through education, teaching, and research this is possible. This textbook is a continuation of this mission, inspired by the drive to create the best possible outcomes for my patients, and the love of being a physician and educator.

Over the last several years, minimally invasive procedures have significantly increased in the worlds of dermatology, plastic surgery, and aesthetic medicine. This textbook is a global consortium of the leaders in these fields and experts on microneedling.

Microneedling is an outstanding option for patients of all skin types and ethnicities who desire measurable clinical results from treatments with little to no downtime. It is a relatively new option in dermatology and has been utilized for a broad range of applications, including skin rejuvenation, acne scarring, rhytides, surgical scars, dyschromia, melasma, enlarged pores, and transdermal drug delivery.

Microneedling is a safe, minimally invasive, and effective aesthetic treatment for several different dermatologic conditions. Given its expedient post‐treatment recovery, minimal side effect profile, and significant clinical results, microneedling is a valuable alternative to more invasive procedures. The chapters of this book discuss the various applications in detail.

I want to thank my family and mentors for their support always. I also want to give a special thank‐you to Dr. Michael Gold. He is an innovator in our field and I am happy to call him my dear friend, mentor, and colleague.
