As we age, the decrease in collagen production and loss of elasticity in the skin around our face tends to show the changes more than in other areas of the body. For many years, facial surgery, including facelifts, brow lifts, and eyelid surgery, was the most effective way to bring back the youthful and rejuvenated look to our faces.
At Bryn Mawr Facial Aesthetics Center, Dr. John Lee is excited to offer an alternative that can not only provide very similar results as facial surgery but is minimally invasive and can be a lot more customized by each patient. A liquid […]
The appearance of a double chin can be troublesome for many people. Despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle and weight, the fullness under the chin can still give the appearance of extra weight. However, as the only FDA-approved injectable treatment for removing stubborn fat cells in the area below the chin, Kybella has been well tested and is proven effective.
Kybella uses deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally found in your body, to break down and destroy fat cells in the area below your chin. Deoxycholic acid helps to reduce the appearance of the extra fullness below the chin-line, called submental fullness.

Weight alone is not the only factor in determining our outward physical appearance. Being at a healthy weight for our particular frame sizes does help and may even help to prevent chronic soreness or even injury. However, it’s also the tone of our muscles that play a major role in our appearance.
For many people, losing weight alone does not bring them the body look they want. It is always good to maintain a healthy lifestyle and weight, but weight loss might only be the first step. Toning muscles are integral to achieving your aesthetic goals.
Fortunately, muscle toning does not require […]
If you have areas of unwanted hair, the constant removal by shaving, waxing, or tweezing can not only become inconvenient but quite painful. Although laser hair removal has been around for many years, recent advancements in technology have made it more accessible and less painful. Many different types of lasers are used for hair removal. Some are very effective, while others are barely felt. The Candela GentleMax is both.
At Bryn Mawr Facial Aesthetics Center in Philadelphia, PA, Dr. John Lee uses the state-of-the-art Candela GentleMax Hair removal system to quickly and permanently remove unwanted hair from nearly any part of […]

Dermal fillers are popular cosmetic treatment options for people who want to add volume to their face. Or address concerns like wrinkles and fine lines.
Dermal filler treatments are quick, and you will see results immediately. A topical anesthetic will be applied to numb the area and make the injection less painful. You might experience some swelling or bruise depending on filler placement.
The lifespan of filler depends on many factors. These factors include your body’s metabolism and formulation of the filler. Each filler has a gel-like consistency for flawless and natural-looking results.
The selection of dermal fillers available at Bryn Mawr Facial Aesthetics Center […]

As we pass our 35th or 40th birthday, the signs of aging start to show themselves. But most people aren’t interested in a surgical facelift to rectify the situation, especially if they don’t have a great deal of sagging, loose skin.
For these patients, a liquid facelift with Dr. Lee or Dr. Castelli could be a great option.
What is a liquid facelift?
A liquid facelift involves the use of dermal fillers and neuromodulators to provide many of the same results that can be achieved with a surgical facelift. A liquid facelift can:
Reduce wrinkles, creases, lines, and folds
Gently lift facial features
Restore natural, curved facial contour
Provide […]
We all have the desire to tone and sculpt our muscles to look like James Bond coming out of the ocean at Nice. Alas, most of us need help getting there.
But have no fear, Dr. Lee is here.
To provide just such sculpting, Dr. Lee added a cool treatment to our Bryn Mawr and King of Prussia locations — CoolTone™. CoolTone™ comes from the people behind CoolSculpting but it is completely different. CoolTone™ uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions in the target areas. How many muscle contractions? Uh, how about 20,000 in a 30-minute CoolTone™ session!

After the past 18 months of seeing ourselves up close in endless Zoom meetings and Facetime calls, we’ve all done an inventory of our facial issues. If you’re over 40, one of your areas of irritation is likely your eyelids. Whether it’s due to the thin skin around our eyes and on our eyelids, or whether it’s because our eyes are constantly exposed to the elements — no one escapes sagging, drooping eyelids and the development of under eye bags.
Aging eyes shows no preference by sex, either.
Today, more and more men are choosing to have various cosmetic surgery procedures to […]
