The Art of Skin Health Restoration and Rejuvenation features Dr. Obagi's renowned skin care regimens and state-of-the-art techniques for revitalizing all skin types. Known for his unparalleled expertise with skin peels, he offers step-by-step guidance on reversing photodamage, controlling the pigmentary system, neocollagenesis, and restoration of elasticity. More than 200 color illustrations, drawings and clinical photographs, plus a special chapter from San Diego based dermatologic surgeon Dr. E. Victor Ross on combining laser resurfacing with other techniques, make this volume a resource for plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and skin care professionals.

"Health and skin care occupy a prominent place in the mind of the consumer. The cry for youthful disease-free healthy skin has been heard. I have devoted my career over the past three decades to educating physicians all over the world on how to deal with skin from a different perspective. It is my hope that my new definition of skin health science will establish a well-rounded approach to restore and maintain skin health using fundamentals that can be adopted in clinical practice," says Dr. Obagi.

"We are delighted to present the second edition of Dr. Obagi's comprehensive text that represents the culmination of the key contributions and advances in his illustrious career.
