Features: In the 1980s, the field of medicine gave rise to a new discipline—cosmetic medicine. After nearly two decades of practice, cosmetic medicine has developed rapidly, giving rise to its own branch disciplines such as cosmetic surgery, cosmetic dermatology, cosmetic dentistry, and cosmetic traditional Chinese medicine. At the same time, many cosmetic techniques, such as laser, cryotherapy, tattooing, acupuncture, and massage, have increasingly demonstrated their important role in beauty. These techniques originate from both Western medical technology and traditional Chinese medical technology. Now, some of these techniques are subordinate to the branch disciplines of cosmetic medicine, such as cosmetic surgery, cosmetic dermatology, and cosmetic traditional Chinese medicine, while others are independently applied in skin care clinics, laser beauty clinics, and other settings. This book aims to organically unify these scattered, operation-oriented, and skin-beauty-related Western and traditional Chinese medical cosmetic techniques into a group of integrated Western and traditional Chinese medical skin beauty techniques. This book integrates knowledge from multiple disciplines, including Western cosmetic medicine, cosmetic pharmacology, cosmetic dermatology, cosmetic traditional Chinese medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine, and provides an in-depth yet accessible introduction to commonly used Western and traditional Chinese medical skin beauty techniques in clinical practice. It serves as a guide for clinical medical practice in cosmetic dermatology and is suitable for reading by cosmetic professionals, as well as serving as a teaching reference for cosmetic medicine programs in medical schools.
