If you’re interested in treatment with a wrinkle filler but hesitating for one reason or another, read on. Dr. Hess is offering Prevelle Silk in Fairfax and we think it may be a great introductory product for many people – here’s why:
The duration of results
Prevelle Silk is composed of hyaluronic acid, just like the popular fillers Juvederm and Restylane. The difference lies in the HA concentration, which is slightly lower in Prevelle Silk, meaning the results of Prevelle Silk will probably wear off quicker.
That might sound like a drawback, but it’s not: a filler with short-term results is actually a great way to “test drive” this type of treatment. Dr. Hess says the results of Prevelle Silk will usually last 2 months at most, and if you like the results, you can return for treatment with a comparable, but longer lasting wrinkle filler.
The addition of lidocaine
Prevelle is one of the latest fillers to be manufactured with lidocaine as a component. While the significance of this addition may be exaggerated somewhat in the marketing for these new fillers, when combined with traditional pain management techniques it may enhance the comfort level of your injection. According to the Prevelle website, clinical trials demonstrated a significant improvement over the filler Captique:
In the clinical study, 69% (29) of the 42 patients who responded to the questionnaire preferred treatment with PREVELLE Silk over Captique. Of these 29 patients, 97% (28) preferred PREVELLE Silk because it was less painful.
