NouvaDerm Laser Resurfacing

Reveal brighter, clearer, more confident skin

What is NOUVADerm?

NOUVADerm is a fourth-generation fractional resurfacing platform that delivers three types of energy — non-ablative, sub-ablative, and ablative — allowing us to personalise treatment intensity and downtime. With seven preset modes, including NOUVAGlo for overall skin revitalisation and a dedicated Hair Support mode for scalp care, NOUVADerm offers head-to-toe skin restoration for all skin types.

How NOUVADerm works

  • Targets water in the skin — the thulium laser gently warms the epidermis and superficial dermis to trigger your body’s natural repair process.
  • Creates micro-thermal zones — precise energy is delivered in a fractional pattern, treating only a fraction of the skin at a time while leaving surrounding tissue intact to speed healing.
  • Stimulates collagen and elastin — controlled micro-injuries encourage fresh collagen and elastin production, improving tone, texture, and firmness over time.
  • Custom depth and intensity — from 100–200 micrometres for lighter passes to deeper, more corrective settings, we tailor parameters to your skin and your preferred downtime.

Reveal brighter, clearer, more confident skin

Imagine looking in the mirror and seeing skin that matches how vibrant you feel inside. NOUVADerm is an advanced 1927 nm thulium laser treatment that helps soften lines and wrinkles, fade sun damage and pigmentation, smooth acne scars and stretch marks, and even support scalp and hair health — all with customisable settings to fit your goals and schedule.

Quick, precise, and designed for comfort, NOUVADerm can treat the face, neck, chest, arms, hands, shoulders, and legs. Whether you want a gentle refresh or a more intensive renewal, our trained providers will tailor a plan that feels right for you.

Why patients choose NOUVADerm at Luminique

  • Visible improvements — many patients notice smoother texture and a brighter, more even tone after just one session, with continued gains over several weeks.
  • Minimal downtime — most experience mild redness for 24–48 hours, with light flaking that resolves within 3–5 days depending on treatment strength.
  • Safe for all skin types — custom settings support diverse skin tones year-round.
  • Fast treatments — full-face sessions are typically brief, ideal for busy schedules.
  • Face, scalp, and body — treat fine lines, sun damage, scars, and stretch marks — and support scalp health with Hair Support mode.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is normal to have a lot of questions before trying a new procedure. Our professionally trained staff can answer any and all questions you have when you book a free 15 minute consultation at the clinic. In the meantime, let us get you started with the most frequently asked questions we receive about NouvaDerm Laser Resurfacing.
Will my results look natural?
Yes — NOUVADerm is designed to support your skin’s own renewal. By adjusting settings to your needs, we aim for refreshed, natural-looking improvements rather than an over-treated appearance.
Is NOUVADerm safe?
When performed by trained professionals using appropriate settings, NOUVADerm is a safe option for all skin types. We conduct a thorough consultation to ensure the treatment is suitable for you.
How does the treatment feel — and is there downtime?
Most patients describe a warm, prickly sensation during treatment. Mild redness and swelling are common for 1–2 days, followed by light flaking for several days, depending on intensity. We’ll review what to expect for your exact plan.
How quickly will I see changes?
You may notice a brighter look within a week. Collagen remodelling continues for 3–6 months, revealing smoother texture, more even tone, and softening of lines and scars over time.
How many sessions do I need?
It depends on your goals and your skin. Many patients see meaningful changes after 1–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with maintenance as needed.
Can I wear makeup after NOUVADerm?
You can apply makeup once the skin surface is intact and micro-scabs have lifted — typically a few days after lighter settings. We’ll guide you based on your treatment strength.
Can NOUVADerm help with melasma?
Yes — NOUVADerm settings can be tailored to address uneven pigmentation, including melasma. Strict sun protection is essential to support and maintain results.
