Features: This book is rich in content and well-structured, making it suitable for use by undergraduate and associate degree students in the field of cosmetology and dermatology, as well as for reference by beauty professionals. Cosmetic pharmacology is a medical discipline that studies the use of drugs as the primary means to achieve aesthetic goals. This book follows the clinical principles of cosmetic medicine and categorizes the numerous traditional Chinese and Western drugs currently used in cosmetic clinics into two major types: internal and external medications. Within these categories, it provides separate introductions to traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. In terms of clinical applications of cosmetic pharmacology, in addition to specialized chapters on skincare and facial beauty, it also classifies various dermatological conditions from an etiological perspective into seven major categories, thereby ensuring the book is well-organized and easy to use. Given that the use of traditional Chinese medicine must adhere to the fundamental theories of traditional Chinese medicine, this book includes a review of the relevant basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine.
