from the Winter 2005 issue
What’s new in skin care for 2005? Prevage™ is a highly anticipated, anti-aging cream that is being launched this month. Dermatologists have been eagerly awaiting its release ever since a scientific paper about idebenone, the active ingredient in Prevage, was presented at the 2004 American Academy of Dermatology meeting. In that report, idebenone was compared to other antioxidants commonly used in anti-aging skin-care products, such as vitamins C and E, coenzyme Q10, kinetin and alpha lipoic acid. Idebenone proved to be the most potent antioxidant of them all.
Why are antioxidants thought to be such an important part of an anti-aging skin-care regimen? Skin aging is caused in part by oxidative damage from external environmental stresses, such as UV light, air pollution, ozone and cigarette smoking. An antioxidant cream, like Prevage, can help to protect your skin cells from oxidative damage. This results in an improved appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, a decrease in skin roughness and dryness, and an evening out of skin tone – all of which restores a more youthful look. In one clinical study, Prevage reduced fine lines and wrinkles by 29 percent in six weeks.
The Center for Cosmetic Dermatology is proud to offer this exciting new product for sale.
