Some decent technical information, lots of self-promotion, some cheesy anecdotal conversations with patients, some questionable chemistry and medical assertions (actually there was one statement that was overtly medically incorrect about spironolactone). Adding that I actually like this general approach - this covers all things one can do to counter the effects of aging short of surgery - lasers, fillers, botox, topicals etc. so that one can look their best at any age. It is a little out of date now and I notice he never touched on any form of microneedling (dermaroller) which is a viable option for increasing collagen and addressing many skin concerns.

Not bad. I was expecting a book about natural skin care because I didn't notice the title beyond "The New Natural." I've been considering a laser procedure, so this was very informative in that regard. As another reviewer noted, this book is quite pro-injection, which may or may not be in my future.

There was one section that was really informative, but he was a little too pro-botox for my taste...
