NOUVADerm Laser
4th-generation 1927nm Thulium fractional laser addressing age spots, pigmentation, acne scars, rosacea, and etched lines — with customizable intensity from gentle to intensive.
4th-generation 1927nm Thulium technology
The 1927nm wavelength is specifically absorbed by water in skin cells, making it highly effective for both pigmentation and textural resurfacing while sparing deeper tissue.
Customizable intensity modes
Treatment can be calibrated from a gentle maintenance setting to an intensive resurfacing mode, making it appropriate across a wide range of skin concerns and tolerances.
Treats pigmentation, texture, and laxity in one modality
NOUVADerm addresses multiple concerns simultaneously, reducing the need for multiple separate treatment types.
Fractional delivery preserves healthy tissue
By treating only a fraction of the skin surface at each pass, the device preserves surrounding healthy tissue and accelerates the healing response.
Proven collagen rejuvenation with lasting results
The fractional laser stimulus initiates a prolonged collagen synthesis response that continues for months after each treatment session.
Also known as
The 1927nm Thulium fractional laser creates precise micro-channels in the skin, delivering controlled thermal energy to targeted zones while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This fractional approach triggers a collagen synthesis response and accelerates the natural turnover of pigmented and damaged cells, while the preserved tissue between treatment zones ensures faster healing than fully ablative alternatives. Adjustable modes allow the provider to calibrate from a gentle maintenance setting appropriate for mild tone concerns to an intensive resurfacing mode for deeper lines, significant pigmentation, or more advanced texture irregularities.
Will the NOUVAderm Laser completely erase age spots, sun damage, and fine lines — and what is the real downtime?
✅ The NOUVAderm is a fourth generation Thulium 1927 wavelength laser that can do everything CO2, Fraxel, erbium, YAG, and Q-switch lasers can do — in one fully customizable device.
✅ It addresses age spots, pigment irregularity, sun damage, fine lines, and thinning skin.
✅ Settings are fully adjustable from very light to very aggressive — Dr. David customizes based on what you are treating and how fast you want to move.
✅ Regardless of how aggressive the setting, numbing techniques ensure you feel no pain during the procedure.
✅ Most people experience no visible flaking or crusting — just a slight mask-like sensation for a few days that no one else can see or notice.
✅ Wait one week before swimming, heavy sweating, or sun exposure after treatment.
✅ Downtime can be customized to your schedule — if you have an event this weekend and need zero redness, the settings can be adjusted to make that happen.
✅ Number of sessions depends on your starting point — someone in their 80s may need around eight treatments, while someone starting in their 30s may only need two or three.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT (CONDENSED):
Q: Will the laser completely erase stubborn age spots, sun damage, and fine lines?
Dr. David: Yes. The NOUVAderm Thulium 1927 wavelength laser is highly advanced and capable of doing everything that CO2, Fraxel, erbium, YAG, and Q-switch lasers can do. It is fully customizable to precisely target age spots, pigment irregularities, sun damage, fine lines, and thinning skin.
Q: How comfortable is it, and is it gentler than older lasers on the market?
Dr. David: Because this technology is so customizable, I can adjust the settings from very light to very aggressive depending on your specific goals and how fast you want results. Regardless of the setting used, we utilize advanced techniques to guarantee you are completely comfortable and experience zero pain.
Q: Will my skin have heavy flaking, crusting, or scabbing afterward?
Dr. David: Most patients experience no visible side effects. You may notice a slight "mask-like" feeling for a few days that is completely invisible to others. While a tiny amount of micro-flaking can occur, it is not something anyone else will notice.
Q: How long before I can wear makeup, go swimming, or be in the sun?
Dr. David: We recommend waiting a minimum of one week before exposing the treated skin to water, swimming, or any significant sun exposure following this laser session.
Q: How many sessions will I need to see optimal results?
Dr. David: It depends entirely on your starting point. For example, someone in their 80s who has never had skin treatments might require around eight sessions spaced over several months. Conversely, someone starting preventive care in their 30s might only need two or three sessions.
Q: Do I need to avoid getting this laser treatment done during the summer months?
Dr. David: No, you can absolutely do this treatment during the summer. We will work closely with you on proper sun protection, physical mineral blocks, and hat-wearing strategies so you can safely enjoy the season while completing your series.
Q: What if I have a major event coming up and need absolutely zero downtime?
Dr. David: The downtime with the NOUVAderm laser is remarkably minimal. If you have an upcoming weekend event and cannot risk any temporary redness, we simply adapt and lower the treatment settings beforehand to guarantee that specific outcome.
