We Support the Greater Norristown Police Athletic League
I am so proud to be serving as a board member this year for this wonderful association. Our open house last week made it possible for us to donate a portion of the proceeds to the Greater Norristown Police Athletic League (GNPAL). I was happy to present the donation at the GNPAL’s annual International Food and Wine Festival on Thursday, September 4, 2008 at the Plymouth Country Club. The funds will be used to support youth programs at GNPAL.(For pictures from the event,

ASK DR. MASH
If you would like me to address a question or discuss a new (or current) procedure or product that you have read about or heard about, now is your chance! Simply click on RESPOND, PLEASE, DR. MASH and you will receive an emailed answer. If the concern or topic is of general interest, I will respond from my desk and it will appear on this page.

Dear Dr. Mash,
I am so confused about Botox! I hate the severe crease between my eyes, and I always look like I am frowning. Please tell me if Botox would correct this.
Cheryl Butko, MO

Dear Cheryl,
Botox is the FDA-approved brand name for the toxin derived from botulinum toxin type A. When diluted and injected, this toxin paralyzes nerves so that they can no longer contract. It takes a few days to kick in, but once it does, wrinkles literally disappear. Botox usually lasts four to six months and then gradually wears off. Those who have regular, repeated treatments often find that wrinkles formed from use --- on the forehead from frowning or near the eyes and lips from squinting or pursing --- often are not as prominent when they do reappear. Since Botox prevents you from using these muscles, the muscles themselves are not overtaxed and skin stays smoother longer.

SAVE-MY-SKIN!
It's Fall! So my special collection of high-intensity repair products in the online store becomes more important to those coming back from sunny vacations. These products contain ingredients that help optimize DNA repair and help protect from further damage in the sun, from stress, and aging. The new collection can be found at SAVE-MY-SKIN in my online store. But remember: you can spend many dollars on products and fillers, but the one thing that remains absolutely true is that if you do not wear sunscreen every day, you are damaging your skin.

Now to smooth and radiant healthy skin - I am asked often to recommend products for summer use. Different skin types call for different treatments. Dry or oily, sensitive or resistant, pigmented or nonpigmented, and wrinkled or tight, all play a part in the right choices to correct skin problems and maintain healthy skin. Oily skin needs products with salicylic acid. Dry skin needs barrier repair creams or moisturizers and avoid foaming detergents and soaps as they can strip your skin of necessary lipids. Pigmented skin needs solutions that contain hydroquinone (Tri-Luma). Vitamin C and retinoids work, too, particularly if you are also the oily/dry, resistant, pigmented, and wrinkled type. Wrinkled and ageing skin also needs retinoid and antioxidants. If all this confuses you, you are not alone. That is why I am here to help guide you to choosing a regime that is right for you. You can also begin by reading more about products that contain these essential ingredients by visiting my Online Store.

Dr. Mash Desk 
Specials Dr. Mash Sunscreen Facts
Wear sunscreen every day if you will be outside for more than 20 minutes, even when it is cloudy.
Sunscreen should be applied 15 to 30 minutes before going outdoors, and reapplied every two hours or after swimming or sweating.
Don’t skimp: One ounce—enough to fill a shot glass—is considered the amount needed to properly cover exposed skin.
Limit your exposure to sunlight from 10 a.m.–4 p.m. during Daylight Savings Time (9 a.m.–3 p.m. during Standard Time) when the sun's rays are the strongest and most harmful.
When choosing a sunscreen, look for one with an SPF of 15 or higher that provides broad-spectrum coverage against all ultraviolet light wavelengths.
Throw out old bottles of sunscreen, which can lose strength after three years.
And don't forget your lips! Use a good lip balm before leaving the protection of your home each day. Remember also that self-tanners do not usually contain sunscreens.

Children's Sunblocks!
Children's skin have a sensitivity and often react to the harsh chemicals found in sunscreen for adults.

Dr. Mash Announces The Dr. Mash UP~LIFT™.
My UP~LIFT™ is sometimes known as the weekend facelift because of how quickly it can be performed and how short the recovery period is. The procedure generally enhances key facial areas with less risk and less stress than the standard face lift surgery. Additionally, the cost of the UP~LIFT™ makes it an attractive option, since it reduces minor sagging around the cheeks, jawline, and neck much more economically than the conventional facelift approach. See for yourself by looking at just a few of my patients before and after Pictures.

IN THE NEWS: NON-SURGICAL MINILIFTS
Everyone is talking about the non-surgical facelifts using Radiesse filler and volumizer and its use as an injectable substance which not only fills fine lines, wrinkles and creases, but also the way it volumizes and lifts lax tissue. My Liquid and Laser non-surgical mini-lift has made this use of Radiesse for quite some time.

It’s true that surgical and ablative solutions to skin laxity and poor skin tone/texture give the best correction to these skin issues, however many of us are not ready, able, or prepared to undergo a surgical procedure.

The non-surgical Liquid and Laser Lift is a strong alternative, using the injection of FDA approved fillers such as the new, recently approved Juvederm, (along with the standards: Restylane, Radiesse, Sculptra and Silicone) to fill, volumize and lift the facial skin. This is done in conjunction with lasers which remove red and brown spots, improve skin laxity and cell production, and in combination with polyhydroxy acids with microdermabrasion to stimulate cell turnover though exfoliation.

My non-surgical lift can also include liposuction (of the neck, for example) replacing that fat where needed elsewhere by injecting the patient’s own fat cells as a facial filler.

Liposuction or lipocontouring, is considered non-surgical insofar as the small incisions made to admit the suctioning instrument do not constitute a true surgical-suturing event.

VASER LIPOSELECTION®
The latest in liposuction: Lipocontouring with Liposelection®. How is it different? What does it do? The Vaser Technology uses ultrasound energy to break up and emulsify fat, leaving other tissue relatively intact. Sound energy, similar to that used to remove a cataract from the eye, fragments the tissue. Fat cells break apart leaving nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue undisturbed. Patients and physicians report low to minimal swelling, bruising and pain.

Once emulsified, fat is removed with minimal disturbance to other structural tissue, giving smooth results. If you’ve been thinking about trimming off fat that diets don’t touch, now’s the time to get serious. Call me for a free Liposelection® Consult soon.

IS COSMETIC SURGERY RIGHT FOR YOU?
Today men and women from virtually all walks of life are turning to cosmetic surgery as a way to bring their personal visions of beauty to life. But, with so much information out there, how do they know what’s best for them?

To help navigate their personal way to beauty, the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS) launched Be Wise About Beauty – an integrated, multi-faceted campaign dedicated to arming patients with the facts about cosmetic surgery, patient safety and qualified practitioners so that they can make informed decisions about cosmetic enhancement.

I support this campaign, and I want all our patients to be wise about beauty. I recommend that everyone considering any cosmetic surgery to visit Be Wise About Beauty site by clicking on the image below.
