Sterling heights, MI--Oct. 3, 2006--Dr. Mark Berkowitz is pleased to reveal a topical beauty secret now available at his Sterling Heights medical spa, Accents Cosmetic Surgery and Medical Spa. Scientifically shown to be the most powerful antioxidant available in today’s skin care product market, PREVAGE® MD anti-aging treatment contains idebenone 1% and helps correct the skin damage that is already present while protecting skin from future damage by environmental stressors known to cause skin aging including UV radiation, ozone, air pollution, cigarette smoke, and the aging process itself.

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.

Antioxidants reduce damage to the skin by blocking free radical pathways caused by exposure to environmental stressors such as UV radiation, ozone, air pollution, and cigarette smoke, among others. These free radicals form inflammatory pathways that left unchecked can cause extensive damage to cell membranes, lipids, proteins, and DNA. They are also a major cause of skin aging. Because antioxidants scavenge and eliminate free radicals, they are able to counter the deleterious effects of the free radical–mediated inflammatory pathways promoted by oxidative stress.

Within 6 weeks of use, studies showed:

• 29% reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• 26% reduction in skin roughness and dryness
• 37% increase in skin hydration
• 33% improvement in skin’s overall appearance
• 75% of subjects reported that after only 4 weeks they experienced a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and a reduction in roughness and dryness.
