Are there any special instructions for using PREVAGE® MD?
If you are using retinoids 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.

Is PREVAGE® MD a sunscreen?
No, PREVAGE® MD anti-aging treatment is not a sunscreen. After applying PREVAGE® MD, you should also apply a sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection and an SPF of at least 15.

What is the difference between PREVAGE® MD anti-aging treatment and AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids)?
AHAs are obtained from fruits, sugar cane, and sour milk and are found in a variety of skin care products including moisturizers, cleansers, and sunscreens. AHAs act primarily as exfoliants, helping to shed the outermost layer of the skin to make it look smoother and less wrinkled.

PREVAGE® MD anti-aging treatment works differently. It contains idebenone, an antioxidant that scavenges harmful free radicals in the cells of your skin and protects it from damage from external environmental stressors such as UV light, air pollution, ozone, and cigarette smoke, to name a few. PREVAGE® MD also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as skin roughness and dryness, and evens skin tone to restore youthful-looking skin.

Where can I get PREVAGE® MD anti-aging treatment?
You can purchase PREVAGE® MD only at selected doctors’ offices.

PREVAGE® MD anti-aging treatment is distributed solely to doctors and should be used under physician supervision. Since PREVAGE® MD is only dispensed in doctors’ offices, Allergan cannot authenticate any product purchased over the Internet.

Do I need an appointment with a doctor to get PREVAGE® MD anti-aging treatment?
Although PREVAGE® MD is available only through doctors, most offices do not require an appointment to purchase it.

Will PREVAGE® MD cause any skin reactions?
Some skin types are sensitive to certain products; therefore, a certain percentage of people will have some type of reaction to this product as they may to any other topical skin treatment. Please read the Patient Instructions that are enclosed with every PREVAGE® MD anti-aging treatment.
