Review
Finally, a photomedicine textbook that not only has it all, but also does it all so very well. Photodermatology, edited by Drs Lim, Hönigsmann, and Hawk, covers the entire array of photodermatologic topics in 29 well-written, thoroughly researched, and amply referenced chapters. It is a comprehensive and amazingly current review of cutaneous photomedicine… -Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, December 2007
This book can be highly recommended to photobiologists, dermatology residents, and dermatologists with an interest in photo- and laser-therapy (should be all dermatologists)… The high quality of this book positions it well to become the standard textbook of the field. This will help to firmly maintain Photodermatology right in the center of mainstream dermatology practice. -Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine, 2008
