Featured product: Prevage MD

What is PREVAGE® MD? PREVAGE® MD (1% Idebenone, obtainable only from a physician) anti-aging treatment is scientifically shown to be the most powerful topical antioxidant available in a skin care product today. PREVAGE® MD protects your skin from environmental stressors known to cause skin aging including UV light, air pollution, ozone and cigarette smoke.

About Antioxidants

Antioxidants are substances that protect the cells in your body by acting as scavengers of oxygen-free radicals, which are unstable particles in the skin that can damage skin cells and cause aging. Environmental stressors like UV light, air pollution, ozone, cigarette smoke, and even oxygen create damaging by-products—called free radicals - during normal cellular metabolism. Antioxidants (like idebenone (ee-dee-ben-OWN), the active ingredient in PREVAGE® MD anti-aging treatment) scavenge these free radicals and bind to them before they cause damage. The result is effective protection from damage to your skin.

Some examples of topical antioxidants that are used today include kinetin (used in Kinerase®), coenzyme Q10 (used in Q10 Plus Wrinkle Control products from Nivea®), lipoic acid (used in N.V. Perricone M.D. Cosmeceuticals®), vitamin C, vitamin E (found in many anti-aging products), and now idebenone, the most powerful antioxidant available for topical use¹ and the active ingredient in PREVAGE® MD anti-aging treatment.

The antioxidative power of PREVAGE® MD anti-aging treatment has been shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as skin roughness and dryness, and to even skin tone to restore youthful-looking skin.

Directions:
PREVAGE MD anti-aging treatment can be used with most other products including moisturizers, sunscreens, and cosmetics. PREVAGE MD should be used sparingly. Simply push the pump down once or twice to dispense a pea-size amount. Thoroughly massage PREVAGE MD anti-aging treatment into your clean, dry face and neck once or twice a day. If you use a moisturizer, apply it after PREVAGE MD. Even though PREVAGE MD anti-aging treatment protects your skin against environmental stressors, it is not a substitute for sunscreen. Always use a sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 15 and protects against UVA as well as UVB rays every day.

Advisory:
Minimize use of PREVAGE MD if you are using products with high levels of hydroquinone. If you are using a Vitamin-A product such as tretinoin, Retin-A Retinol or other products dispensed or prescribed by your doctor, ask about the appropriate use of these products in combination with PREVAGE MD. And, if you are currently on an aggressive skin care regimen such as laser resurfacing, Dermabrasion, or medium to deep chemical peels, your skin may become more sensitive to PREVAGE MD. Discuss with your doctor when you should begin using PREVAGE MD anti-aging treatment after your procedure.

Before using PREVAGE MD regularly, it is recommended you test by applying a small amount (less than one pump) daily for several days to a small area on the forearm near the inner side of the elbow or to a very small area of the neck or face that will receive regular treatment. Skin reactions to PREVAGE MD, though rare, are likely to occur within the first few days of use. If any reaction occurs, wash the product off and discontinue use.

Please read the Patient Instructions that are enclosed with every PREVAGE MD anti-aging treatment.
