Part of the book series: Clinical Approaches and Procedures in Cosmetic Dermatology ((CAPCD,volume 1))

Abstract

Acne, rosacea, melasma, and photodamaged skin are the cutaneous diseases that most commonly lead to imperfections, which often decrease the quality of life and cause low self-esteem. In each of the four conditions, a clinical classification of gravity guides a rational treatment for best results with minimal adverse effects. This chapter covers the basic clinical directions, adding new pathophysiological knowledge, that modified the old concepts and are used as basis for new approaches. Topical and systemic agents are reviewed in detail, as well as new agents recently incorporated into the therapeutic arsenal.
