What is NOUVADerm™ & What Can it Fix?
If you’ve been searching for a way to smooth your skin, fade stubborn sun spots, or soften fine lines without spending months on treatments and recovery time, then we need to introduce you to NOUVADerm™.
This powerful new skin-resurfacing technology is now available at Elevate, and our patients are already seeing brighter, smoother, more evenly toned skin in fewer sessions. But what exactly is NOUVADerm? And what kinds of concerns can it address?
Let’s break it down.
First, What is NOUVADerm™?
NOUVADerm™ is an advanced, non-invasive laser treatment that helps restore the appearance of your skin by resurfacing it. Think of it like gently “resetting” the surface of your skin. Whether it’s years of sun exposure, natural aging, or past acne that’s left a mark, NOUVADerm™ is designed to give you a fresh start, without the pain or downtime of older treatments.
Unlike traditional lasers, which can feel intense and require significant healing time, NOUVADerm™ was created with comfort, speed, and noticeable results in mind. It works by delivering a gentle beam of energy that stimulates your body’s natural healing process, helping new skin cells rise to the surface and encouraging collagen production — the protein that keeps your skin plump and youthful.
The result? Skin that looks smoother, brighter, tighter, and more even.
What Skin Concerns Can NOUVADerm™ Help With?
If you’re dealing with any of the below, NOUVADerm™ may be the glow-up your skin has been waiting for.
1. Fine Lines and Wrinkles
You know the ones — the little creases around your eyes, the “elevens” between your brows, and the smile lines that don’t bounce back like they used to. These are all signs of your skin slowly losing its elasticity and collagen over time.
NOUVADerm™ helps soften the appearance of these fine lines and wrinkles by encouraging your skin to rebuild its natural scaffolding from the inside out. This means less creasing, smoother texture, and a rejuvenated look — all without freezing your expression or changing the way your face naturally moves.
2. Pigmentation and Dark Spots
Sunspots. Age spots. Melasma. Freckles you didn’t ask for.
Pigmentation issues can make our skin look uneven, dull, and older than we feel. NOUVADerm™ targets those deeper layers where excess melanin (the pigment that gives our skin its color) lives, helping to break it up and fade discoloration over time.
The result? A more even complexion and that radiant, healthy glow we’re all chasing.
3. Acne Scars and Texture Issues
For many of us, acne might have been a chapter in our teen years, but the scars stuck around long after the breakouts faded.
NOUVADerm™ helps to reduce the look of acne scars by resurfacing the top layer of the skin and stimulating new cell turnover. Over time, the skin begins to look smoother, with less pitting, roughness, or uneven tone.
Bonus: NOUVADerm™ is safe for a wide range of skin tones — something we’re proud to offer at Elevate.
4. Redness and Rosacea
While it’s not a cure for rosacea, NOUVADerm™ can help reduce the appearance of redness, flushing, and those tiny visible blood vessels that often come with it. By targeting the underlying inflammation and helping to repair the skin barrier, patients often report calmer, more balanced skin after a series of treatments.
5. Overall Skin Resurfacing and Tone Correction
You don’t need a specific “problem” to benefit from NOUVADerm™.
Many of our patients use it as part of their preventative skin health routine — especially those in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who are beginning to see early signs of aging, uneven tone, or a loss of that natural glow.
It’s like a reboot for your skin.
Why we love NOUVADerm™ at Elevate
Let’s be honest — there’s no shortage of skin treatments out there promising miracles. But at Elevate, we’re always looking for options that actually work, don’t require weeks of recovery, and still feel relaxing and personalized.
Here’s why NOUVADerm™ checks all the boxes for us and the patients who have already tried it:
- Minimal Downtime: You might have a little redness after your session, but most patients return to normal life within 24-48 hours.
- Quick Sessions: Treatments are fast and efficient — you’ll be in and out in under an hour.
- Tailored to You: Whether you want to focus on one area or your entire face, the treatment can be customized to your goals and your skin.
- Proven Results: Most patients see real improvement after just one session, with even better results over a series of treatments.
What Does a NOUVADerm™ Treatment Feel Like?
This is one of our most-asked questions — and we get it. Anything with the word “laser” can sound intimidating.
But honestly? Most patients say the sensation feels like a warm, gentle snap or flick — totally tolerable and far more comfortable than older skin-resurfacing options. But if you’re still concerned about discomfort, we offer a topical numbing and chiller (cold air) to help make your NOUVADerm™ treatments even more comfortable.
After your treatment, you might feel a bit sun-kissed for a day or two, with some slight redness or dryness. But your medical aesthetician here at Elevate will walk you through exactly what to expect, including the best aftercare to make your skin feel pampered and protected.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
This depends on your goals and the current condition of your skin. Some patients see noticeable results after one session, while others benefit from a series of 3-4 treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
During your personalized skin consultation, we’ll map out a plan that fits your schedule, budget, and skin goals. And as always, we’ll keep things real and honest with you — no fluff, no pressure.
Am I a Good Candidate for NOUVADerm™?
The truth is not all lasers are meant for all skin tones. HOWEVER, NOUVADerm™ is, thanks to its unique device versatility. This means we’re able to treat skin conditions no matter your skin tone. Just another reason we love this laser device!
This laser skin-resurfacing treatment is also ideal for you if you’re someone who…
- Feels frustrated with dull, aging, or uneven skin
- Wants to address pigmentation, sun spots, or scarring
- Prefers non-invasive options with minimal downtime

…then NOUVADerm™ could be a great fit for you.
