The science and practice of photodermatology has been largely based on knowledge derived from white skin. Therapeutic modalities based on lasers and light sources are often based on protocols that have been utilized in Caucasian populations. The biologic effects of light in pigmented skin are not as well understood. Consequently, the mechanisms are only now being discovered and elucidated in darker skin types and therefore treatment strategies are now being developed that are more specifically tailored to these patients.
Light Therapies for Skin of Color has been written to address the fact that
there is little information in the literature providing suitable recommendations
for treating pigmented skin with lasers and light sources. The information presented
here represents current knowledge and the future directions. Included within
are the basic foundations in photobiology, such as principles of optics, biology
of photodamage and photoaging, protection afforded by endogenous pigmentation,
and the issues surrounding the use of photoprotective agents in non-white skin.
Practical information on the use of specific treatment modalities and the approach
to specific dermatologic conditions in dark-skinned patients, such as vitiligo,
follicular disorders, pigmentation, among others, are also included, making
this book enormously useful to all dermatologists and other health care providers
who manage patients with pigmented skin.
Written for: Residents, fellows and physicians in dermatology, plastic surgery.
