Preface

The book “Cosmetology in Practice: A Guide for Healthcare Professionals (Part 1)” was prepared to meet a demand identified by the editor: the lack of literature that brings practical information about Cosmetology for professionals working in Dermatology, Aesthetics, and Facial and Body Harmonization.

The literature for Cosmetology is currently relatively wide, however, focused on the knowledge of professionals who work in product development. Or, when aimed at professionals prescribing these products, superficially.

Thus, this book aimed to gather clear and direct information on how to apply Cosmetology in the daily lives of the professionals mentioned above.

In addition, it finds relevance in the growing demand for these professionals, who, in order to offer complete care to their patients, depend on this knowledge. Knowing cosmetic products in depth allows professionals to create an effective cosmetic prescription that satisfies the needs of their patients.
