Humbert P., Maibach H., Fanian F., Agache P. (eds.) Measuring the Skin

New York: Springer, 2017. — 1582 p.Skin Bioengineering is a growing domain in dermatological science. It relates to non-invasive investigations of normal and diseased skin. Although there is a small and high quality literature available, there has been no text devoted to documenting the advantages, disadvantages and the practical aspect of these validated techniques. Written by leading experts in their field, this book presents, in balanced fashion, both the theory and the practice. Each chapter has a compendium of the present knowledge on structure and function. Thus, it is the first comprehensive manual which presents all the information available on techniques devoted to non-invasive skin measurement. It serves as practical textbook and reference work valuable for dermatologists, bioengineers, physiologists, cosmetologists, and all those utilising the skin as a mirror of internal disease and function. This book should prove an invaluable stimulus to expansion of the field; it is valuable not only to the noviciate but to the experienced, because of the high quality of the presentations.
