NOUVADerm Laser Treatment Near Germantown, TN | Real Skin Resurfacing
Memphis summers are long, and your skin remembers every one of them. Sun spots that showed up years ago, texture that never quite bounced back after acne, a general dullness that no serum has fixed. The NOUVADerm laser Germantown patients turn to gives us a way to work beneath the surface, where those changes actually live. Lauren McCann, MSN, RN, CRNA, oversees every treatment plan at 901 Aesthetics.
The Science of Beauty
What Is NOUVADerm and How Does It Work
NOUVADerm uses a 1927nm Thulium wavelength, and that specific number matters more than it sounds like it should. That wavelength targets water sitting in your skin’s upper layers rather than removing the surface the way older lasers do. It creates thousands of tiny treatment zones while leaving the tissue between them untouched.
Your body repairs each of those zones on its own, producing fresh collagen and elastin as it goes. That’s the actual mechanism behind the improvement in tone, texture, and firmness you see over the following weeks. Being a newer-generation platform also means finer control over how deep the energy goes, which is part of why this laser works safely across a wide range of skin tones.
What NOUVADerm Laser Treatment Addresses
Most skin concerns that bother people didn’t show up overnight, and they won’t leave that way either. Here’s what this laser actually reaches.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Collagen production slows down gradually through your thirties and forties, and the skin around your eyes and mouth loses the support it used to have. This laser reaches that exact layer and triggers fresh collagen to rebuild it.
Acne Scars
Scar tissue sits in the dermis, well below anything a cream or serum can touch. The laser creates controlled zones right in that layer, giving your skin a reason to remodel the texture instead of just covering it.
Sun Damage and Sunspots
Years of Memphis summers leave marks that go deeper than what you see. The brown spots and blotchy patches reflect damage that built up slowly, and this treatment works at the layer where that damage actually formed.
Hyperpigmentation and Melasma
Hormones, old breakouts, and sun exposure can all push your skin to overproduce melanin beneath the surface. Brightening creams work on top of that. This laser reaches the layer where the pigment is actually forming.
Uneven Skin Tone and Texture
Years of environmental exposure and normal aging leave skin feeling rougher than it once did. The treatment works at the level responsible for tone and texture, not just the outermost layer you can feel.
Enlarged Pores
Pores look bigger when the skin around them has lost firmness. Rebuilding that underlying collagen support tightens the structure holding pores in place, which makes them read as smaller.
Skin Laxity and Loss of Firmness
Skin that feels looser than it did a few years ago usually points to collagen and elastin breaking down underneath. The laser stimulates your skin’s own rebuilding process in those exact layers.
Stretch Marks
Stretch marks form when collagen fibers tear during rapid stretching, and surface products never reach that layer. The laser creates treatment zones right where the disruption happened, improving texture over a series of sessions.
Our Services
NOUVADerm Treatment Modes
Not every skin concern needs the same amount of intervention, and this device gives us real range to match that.
NOUVAGlo: No Downtime
NOUVAGlo delivers energy without breaking the skin’s surface at all. Collagen activity picks up underneath while your skin stays intact, and most people leave looking brighter than when they walked in.
Deeper Resurfacing Settings
For concerns that need more than a glow, the device can go further into the skin to address acne scarring, deeper pigmentation, or texture that hasn’t responded to lighter treatments. Recovery runs longer with these settings, and we’ll walk you through exactly what to expect.
Hair Support Mode for Scalp Care
This mode is built specifically for the scalp, helping stimulate circulation and support hair health. Paired with DERIVE serum after treatment, it becomes a genuine option for anyone dealing with thinning hair, not just a side feature tacked onto a skin device.
NOUVADerm Compared to Other Resurfacing Options
If you’ve looked into laser resurfacing before, you’ve probably run into CO2 lasers, Fraxel, or chemical peels somewhere along the way. Here’s how NOUVADerm stacks up against the other options people usually consider.
| Treatment | How It Works | Downtime | Skin Tone Safety |
|---|---|---|---|
| NOUVADerm 1927nm Thulium | Targets water in the skin's layers, leaving surrounding tissue intact | None to about a week, depending on setting | Safe across a wide range of skin tones |
| CO2 Laser | Removes the outer skin layer entirely | One to two weeks | Higher pigmentation risk on darker skin tones |
| Fraxel | Fractional laser at a similar wavelength range | Several days to a week | Some pigmentation risk on darker skin tones |
| Chemical Peel | Controlled chemical exfoliation | Varies by peel strength | Risk increases with stronger peels on darker tones |
The wavelength NOUVADerm uses targets water rather than melanin, which is the real reason it carries lower pigmentation risk than older ablative options.
Before and After Results
Every photo in our gallery is a real 901 Aesthetics patient, not a stock image. Results depend on your starting skin, the mode used, and how closely aftercare gets followed, so what you see is a starting point for your own conversation with us, not a guarantee.
When Will You See Results
Most people notice a difference within the first week, and that improvement keeps building for the next three to six months as deeper layers produce new collagen. Getting there usually takes one to four sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, depending on what you’re treating and how your skin responds.

NOUVADerm Laser Cost in Germantown
Pricing depends on which mode we use, how large the treated area is, and how many sessions your skin actually needs.

We’ll give you a real number at your consultation, not a range you have to guess from.
