Cosmetic Dermatology & Skin Rejuvenation

The books in this collection cover fractional CO2 laser resurfacing and its genuine recovery time, picosecond lasers used for pigmentation and sun damage, Fotona treatments, plasma pen and fibroblast work, and the microneedling-plus-serum route of Aquagold. Others follow the blood-based treatments — platelet-rich plasma and PRF, including the vampire facelift — where expectations and outcomes often part company.

There is a run of books on the face and eye area too: tear trough and under-eye filler, PRP under the eyes, non-surgical nose reshaping with filler, and microbotox used for texture rather than for stopping movement. People write about how they chose a practitioner, what they were and were not told beforehand, having something dissolved when it did not sit right, and whether they would go back for a second round. Fifty voices per ebook means the disappointments sit next to the happy results, which is usually the part missing from before-and-after photographs.
