Botox and Other Cosmetic Drugs

102 pp. | Chelsea | June, 2008 | Library ISBN 978-0-7910-9776-2 $30.00
(4) YA Drugs, the Straight Facts series. An introduction attempts to differentiate among cosmetics, drugs, cosmetic drugs, and cosmeceuticals. However, subsequent chapters blur the distinctions and veer largely into the realm of purely cosmetic compounds such as facial fillers and wrinkle reducers. Two chapters do cover medical treatments for hair loss, acne, and rosacea. Occasional generic photos break up the serviceable but dry text. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
