Dr. Jon Mendelsohn of Advanced Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center

First In Cincinnati To Use New Restylane Silk

The First FDA Filler Approved For Lip Enhancement And Treatment Of Perioral Lines

CINCINNATI, OHIO — February 5, 2015 – Dr. Jon Mendelsohn, medical director of Advanced Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center is the first in the tri-state to being using new  Restylane Silk on patients.  New Restylane Silk is the first and only FDA approved dermal filler for lip enhancement and the treatment of wrinkles and lines around the mouth.

Says Mendelsohn, “We are delighted to being using this product  – just in time for Valentine’s Day, when patients often come in seeking more well defined lips. New Restylane Silk is a smooth gel designed to restore natural youthful definition and symmetry to the lip and mouth area.”

Mendelsohn explains, “As we age, fat and collagen in the face begin to deteriorate and bone loss can also occur.  This  leads to thinner skin and more noticeable lines and wrinkles in the lower part of the face, which can result in a loss of lip volume and definition and also contribute to an increase in visible lines around the mouth. New Restylane Silk  allows us to address those vertical “barcode” lines that appear around the mouth with age, and give them a natural look without  adding unnecessary volume or an  “over plumped” look.”

He continues, “The procedure is relatively easy and takes  about 20 minutes. We inject a patient’s lip area and around the mouth as needed in just one to two treatments, and the results last 6 months or more. Dramatic results are usually seen in 14 days.”
