Skin Perfection - Center for Aesthetics

Odd thought that I, a doctor, actually have a vision for you — our esteemed clients and searchers alike.

You come from various parts of the country, different socioeconomic backgrounds … even different genders.

So what unifying vision could I possibly have covering this bell curve of your lives and experience?

It’s this: that each of you as individuals through contact with us at any level … experience a better quality of life, a new outlook on life, a new vision for yourself … and are enriched enough you are so empowered, so revitalized, that you naturally, in the excitement of your personal transformation, ”pass it on” to others. 

Not that you can “do” cosmetic procedures — but instead, take the essence of our business — compassion — and touch those in your sphere of influence with the same.

That there is hope … a new life … fresh vitality … personal growth and empowerment … success in relationships and in your careers and businesses.  All of these and more “happen” when you encounter compassion and are the recipient of its power.

So, I go on record as having this vision for you, dear reader — that is perhaps bigger than the vision you have for yourself.

For while we deal with wrinkles; brown spots; veins, hair, and fat that are in the wrong places — our real work is far more significant – recognizing and affirming your deeper needs and desires as they are reflected in these easy-to-solve issues.

So we walk with you on a segment of your journey … hoping through understanding and compassion you receive something worthwhile in the bigger picture to pass on to others.

All across the US fathers are being honored by their children for being who they are … fathers.

I’m taken back to memories growing up with the influence of my father.  He spent a lot of time with me and somehow conveyed the notion I was the most important person to him — in that moment.  I have a brother and two sisters and he somehow created the same feeling for them.

It was my Dad (also James) who taught me problem solving.  How first to examine a situation to define what the problem actually was … not what it seemed to be.  How to be creative in solution making — reaching beyond the “broken part” and often creating solutions obviating the need for the broken piece altogether … or by using ingenuity to fix what was broken.

These became life lessons.  For him, thinking “inside the box” was as important as thinking “outside the box.”  It was analytical thinking that led to the sense that there was always an answer.

Years later as a dermatologist I use these analytical skills daily, almost Sherlock Holmes style sleuthing for diagnoses and solutions not obvious at first glance.  To the unititiated it seems magic … or brilliant.  What it is in reality is nothing more than what I learned from my Dad — how to examine a problem and look for the answer within the problem itself.

Other memories … fishing (and patiently being taught how) … constructing forts … and lofts for my racing pigeons … or just the Sunday drive to a scenic area to hike … looking for wildflowers my mother delighted to find and identify.  All of these were part of who my father was — he was involved … and invested … in his children.

I pray I’ve passed on to my three children some of the same magic and love.  They tell me I have and their confidence in life indicates I’ve been successful.

My children accept me — imperfect-but-trying — as we all do, in love and shared memories.

We fathers share the happy burden of passing on a legacy.  That legacy is how to live, be kind, be honest, and above all solve their own problems — facing life accepting responsibiliy and using mistakes as building blocks for moving on to better things.

Happy Father’s Day.

Check out Oscar’s blog — he thinks the heat’s gotten to me.

But it’s true — we’ve rolled back pricing on both Fraxel and Laser Hair Removal (and multiple syringes of the fillers Restylane and Juvederm) for a perfectly good reason.

All of these can be done in summer — even worked around family events and vacations.

Even better — you’ll look awesome at back-to-school time.

Come in and see how you can take advantage of the best pricing of the season!

So stay tuned or call 215-361-5030 for details!

• When it’s administered by a cookbook formula (not all people are the same)

 

• When the provider doesn’t ask you what you want … for the look you want

 

• When the provider doesn’t know how to keep your look natural

 

• When the provider only knows a couple of places to use Botox

 

• When the provider pitches low prices – somebody’s cutting corners.  Want that for your look … for your face?

 

• When the provider doesn’t “get it” that we all are a little asymmetric — not the same on both sides — and fails to compensate

 

There’s much more, but you get the point.

As with all cosmetic medicine — injectables and procedures — the craft of the cosmetic doctor is an art.

Science is used — but it is artistry that is performed.

Here’s the metaphor: you can buy the print … or invest in the original work of art.

Fortunately, you have a choice.

Find a Master.
