Anatomie und Physiologie der Haut

Anyone who cares for, touches, and treats the skin of others must understand what happens beneath the surface. How is human skin structured? What processes occur under the skin? How does the skin change and develop? The experienced doctor, cosmetologist, and lecturer Gérard Peyrefitte presents the structures, functions, and changes of the skin in an illustrative and comprehensible manner. His didactically well-thought-out and well-structured book facilitates learning and promotes the acquisition of knowledge about human skin. He delivers a book that gets under the skin because observing, treating, and caring for the skin is at the heart of cosmetic, nursing, and pharmaceutical practices. Few other books on the market present the anatomical and physiological foundations of the skin as clearly, in detail, and vividly, providing the perfect foundation for cosmetologists, hairdressers, podiatrists, pharmacy technicians, and caregivers who daily care for, touch, treat, stimulate, and cosmetically advise clients.
