NOUVADerm™ in Practice: Three Providers Share Their Experience

Fractional skin resurfacing continues to grow in demand, and providers want technology they can customize to each patient. The January/February 2025 issue of The Aesthetic Guide featured three providers who use NOUVADerm™, the 1927 nm thulium laser from Aesthetic Management Partners (AMP), in their practices.

Versatile and Customizable

According to Peter Helton, DO, owner of Helton Skin & Laser Institute in Newport Beach, California, the laser offers multiple spot sizes ranging from 1 to 30 mm.

"Customizable treatment modes give me the ability to treat different conditions and the flexibility to adjust intensities for patients, depending on their needs and lifestyle," he explained.

Ann Watwood, NMD, medical director at Clearskin Institute of Laser Aesthetics in Phoenix, Arizona, also uses the laser in her practice.

"Versatility is the main advantage to this device," shared Dr. Watwood. "Treatments range from mild with no downtime to extremely aggressive. … We combine every NOUVADerm™ treatment with EXO|E® plant-based exosomes to reduce the amount of downtime for our patients."

On the Cutting Edge

Daurie Marsden, APRN, CEO and founder of Hailo Aesthetics in Brookfield, Connecticut, describes the range of treatment depths:

"The laser offers non-ablative, sub-ablative and ablative capabilities, allowing customization of treatments from superficial rejuvenation to deep resurfacing."

Published research on the 1927 nm fractional thulium laser includes imaging of its tissue effects, from nonablative to ablative. Marsden also uses the laser's Hair Support Mode.

"We use the Hair Support Mode for patients experiencing hair thinning or looking to enhance scalp health by stimulating follicular activity," shared Ms. Marsden. "For post-laser treatment, we use DE|RIVE® Hair Support Serum from plant-based exosomes."

"NOUVADerm™ is a terrific addition to our practice because of the speed, versatility and ease of use," added Dr. Watwood.

The providers quoted share their own experiences. Individual results vary, and treatment decisions should be individualized by a qualified healthcare professional.
