PREVAGE MD anti-aging treatment contains idebenone 1%, scientifically shown to be the most powerful 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. 

 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. This product is only available through your Plastic Surgeons office.

Antioxidants are substances that protect the cells in your body. Environmental stressors like UV light, air pollution, ozone, cigarette smoke, and even oxygen create damaging by-productscalled free radicalsduring normal cellular metabolism. Antioxidants (like idebenone, 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 use and the active ingredient in PREVAGE MD anti-aging treatment.
