Summary
Edited by Kenneth A. Walters, An-eX Analytical Services Ltd., Cardiff, UK and Michael S. Roberts, Westlake, Australia Recent advances in our understanding of the development and morphology of normal skin have led to improved methods to deliver therapeutic compounds to selected targeted areas both within the skin and systemically.
This reference provides a clear overview of current pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical practices in the management of both major and minor skin disorders and provides an expansive overview of novel drugs and therapies used to treat these conditions.
