What is PREVELLE® Silk?
PREVELLE® Silk is a colorless hyaluronic acid gel that contains a small quantity of a local anesthetic (lidocaine) to provide pain relief at the injection site. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the human body, which moisturizes (hydrates) and cushions the skin. PREVELLE® Silk is naturally broken down by your body over time. Skin testing is not required.
How is PREVELLE® Silk used?
PREVELLE® Silk is injected into facial skin using a very fine needle, for correction of moderate to severe wrinkles and folds. (e.g. areas around the nose and the mouth). The gel plumps the skin to smooth away wrinkles and folds and the results are smooth and natural.
Do the injections hurt?
In general, patients may experience varying levels of discomfort. However, PREVELLE® Silk contains lidocaine that helps reduce injection site pain. In a clinical study, 87% of patients experienced significant pain relief at the time of injection with PREVELLE® Silk.
How soon will I see results?
You will see the visible results of PREVELLE® Silk right away. And most patients experience minimal irritation and little to no downtime post-procedure.
Are there any side effects?
The most common side effects include temporary injection site reactions such as swelling, pain/tenderness, redness, and lumps/bumps which are normal after hyaluronic acid injections. These reactions are typically mild and go away within 3 days. Some patients may experience one or more of these symptoms for a longer period of time than expected; however, these symptoms typically go away without treatment.
Who should not receive PREVELLE® Silk treatments?
If you have a history of allergies to lidocaine or gram positive bacterial proteins or have a history of rare, potentially life-threatening allergic reactions or multiple severe allergies, this product should not be used. Please consult your specialist.
How often will I require treatment?
After the initial injection, an additional treatment or touch up, may be needed 1 to 2 weeks later to achieve the desired level of correction. Over time PREVELLE® Silk will be broken down naturally by your body, which is why you may want repeat treatments. In general, repeat treatments are needed within 3 to 6 months to maintain the desired result, but the timing of additional treatment varies from person to person.
