Skin Trouble Has a Way of Following You

Skin trouble has a way of following people around, especially here, where humidity, sun exposure, and an active outdoor lifestyle all put extra stress on your skin.

If you’ve worked through a drawer full of over-the-counter products for acne, rosacea, or persistent scarring without real results, NouvaDerm is built for exactly this kind of stubborn, below-the-surface concern.

A Laser That Works Below the Surface

NouvaDerm is a laser treatment that works deeper than a topical product can reach, making it effective for active acne, acne scarring, rosacea, psoriasis, and dermatitis.

Each of these conditions behaves differently, so your treatment plan is built around what we’re actually targeting rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol applied to every patient who walks in.

Treatment Plan & Results Timeline

We won’t tell you upfront that you need a fixed number of sessions spaced a set number of weeks apart, because that depends entirely on your skin and how it responds. Here’s the general rhythm.

Consultation & Skin Prep

We start you on a pretreatment skin-prep routine, since this meaningfully affects how your skin responds.

1 Week Before

Session One

Your Treatment Plan

Your number of sessions comes from your consultation, based on what we’re treating and how your skin responds.

Recovery

Downtime varies by what’s being treated. We’ll walk you through exactly what to expect for your plan.

Days After

Partway Through

A Check-In Point

Skin conditions can shift, so we build in check-ins and adjust your plan and regimen as needed.

Results That Build

Paired with your at-home regimen, so results keep building between sessions rather than plateauing.

Ongoing

What NouvaDerm Treats

Active Acne & Breakouts

Treats the acne itself, not just the surface.

Acne Scarring & Texture

Textural irregularities left behind by past breakouts.

Rosacea & Redness

Persistent redness that flares with triggers.

Psoriasis Flare-Ups

Inflammatory flares that need more than a cream.

Dermatitis & Inflammation

General skin inflammation, treated at the source.

Built Around You

Each condition is treated differently, not the same protocol for everyone.

Before Your Session, and Ongoing at Home

A Week of Preparation

About a week before your first session, we start you on a pretreatment skin-prep routine, since this step meaningfully affects how your skin responds and how smoothly your recovery goes.

Recession & Gradual Thinning

We work with men noticing recession earlier than expected, along with gradual thinning that’s built up over a few years. A combination protocol addresses what’s actually driving it, not just the symptom.

NouvaDerm FAQs

How many NouvaDerm sessions will I need for my skin concern?

It depends on the depth and type of what we’re treating, which is why we don’t quote a flat number before your consultation. We’ll give you a realistic range once we’ve assessed your skin.

Is there downtime after a NouvaDerm treatment?

Downtime varies by what’s being treated and how your skin responds, and we’ll walk you through exactly what to expect for your specific plan.

Can NouvaDerm treat rosacea, or is it mainly for acne?

It can help with both, along with psoriasis and dermatitis. These respond well to the combination of laser treatment and a tailored medical-grade skincare routine.

Do I need to do anything before my first session?

Yes, we typically start a pretreatment skin-prep routine about a week beforehand, since it meaningfully affects how your skin responds to treatment.

Will my treatment plan change partway through?

It might, and that’s expected. We build in check-in points throughout your plan, since skin conditions can shift and your protocol may need small adjustments along the way.
