    In recent years the demand for rejuvenating treatments for the face has grown dramatically for both men and women. Alongside that demand, a wide variety of treatments have evolved, and a combination of different treatments can often result in much greater improvement than single-treatment approaches. With contributions from an impressive cast of international experts, Textbook of Facial Rejuvenation details current treatments, recommends approaches, and suggests how they may be tailored towards individual needs and combined for optimum results.
