Physiology of the Skin II

by Peter T. Pugliese

This is the story of skin. No research has explained fully why one person's skin behaves differently from another person's. That is the challenge and the opportunity for estheticians and all skin care to know and use both the science and the art of skin care." So says Peter T. Pugliese, MD, perhaps the leading authority on the science and art of skin care. Physiology of the Skin II is one of the industry's premier textbooks, used by many esthetic schools to present the facets of skin physiology and the role of the esthetician in identifying and treating skin problems. Organized in two sections - Science and Application - Dr. Pugliese provides illustrations and well-organized, detailed charts to help readers understand the material.

The Science section
The Behavior of normal skin
Free radicals and the skin
the youth protein

The Application section of the book begins with Immunology of the Skin Care Specialist and continues
How wrinkles develop
Biology of acnetic skin
The power of chemical peels

As a textbook, Physiology of the Skin II is unsurpassed in providing a basic understanding of science that facilitates the comprehension of the critical application chapters.
