For those considering making that call to their dermatologist, this book, with its user-friendly Q&A sections, glossary of terms and resource list, should answer virtually any question about BOTOX® and make for an extremely knowledgeable patient. ...
Brandt, a New York and Miami dermatologist, and Reynoso, senior beauty editor at W magazine, offer a guidebook to the latest in cosmetic procedures. The authors first recommend a simple, commonsense home regimen to help keep faces looking and feeling good: a healthy diet, well-cleansed skin, sufficient sleep and not too much exposure to the sun. The authors then discuss various skin problems along with treatments available. Although Brandt features the sometimes controversial BOTOX® method, he also covers the many alternatives that may be helpful (chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser surgery) as well as over-the-counter products (moisturizers and creams). Brandt helps demystify the many quick and painless solutions to wrinkles, crow's feet and other age-related problems and helps readers assess how much money to spend and which products and treatments are worth it. When considering any medical treatment, the authors stress finding a competent, experienced professional to increase chances for success.
