What is PREVELLE™ Silk?
PREVELLE™ Silk consists of purified hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance already found in your body. It also contains lidocaine, a common local anesthetic added to PREVELLE™ Silk to increase your comfort during the facial filler procedure.
How long does lidocaine last?
Lidocaine lasts long enough to be effective during the injection procedure, and topical creams or nerve blocks may not be needed.
What will I look like after I have the procedure?
PREVELLE™ Silk has the ability to add volume and smooth a variety of lines and folds to give you a more youthful appearance.
Is PREVELLE™ Silk only for women?
Both men and women are choosing to treat their lines and folds due to exposure to sun and aging. A more youthful appearance may be achieved in both men and women who choose PREVELLE™ Silk as their dermal filler product.
Is PREVELLE™ Silk different from botulinum toxin?
Yes, botulinum toxin works differently than PREVELLE™ Silk. PREVELLE™ Silk provides volume to your lines and folds while botulinum toxin relaxes muscles such as those that cause frown lines between your eyebrows. Many physicians treat lines and folds with botulinum toxin in one area and PREVELLE™ Silk in other areas.

Important Treatment Considerations for Patients
PREVELLE™ Silk is injected into facial skin for correction of moderate to severe wrinkles and folds (e.g., areas around the nose and the mouth), restoring volume and fullness to the skin. After your treatment, you may have temporary injection site reactions such as swelling, pain/tenderness, and redness. Although rare, lump/bumps may occur. These symptoms are typically mild and in most cases resolve within 7 days. Exposure of the treated area to excessive sun, UV lamp, and/or extreme cold weather should be minimized until any initial swelling and redness have resolved. To avoid bruising and bleeding, you should not use PREVELLE™ Silk if you have recently used drugs that thin your blood or prevent clotting, such as aspirin and ibuprofen. If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or under the age of 18, you shouldn't use PREVELLE™ Silk.
PREVELLE™ Silk should not be used by people with a history of severe allergies, particularly allergies to certain microorganisms known as gram-positive bacteria. PREVELLE™ Silk contains lidocaine hydrochloride and must not be used in patients with known lidocaine hypersensitivity.
