Synergistic Approach for Deep Wrinkles & Skin Laxity
While NOUVADerm delivers exceptional results for pigmentation, texture, and early signs of aging, some patients seek more comprehensive solutions for deep wrinkles and moderate to advanced skin laxity. That's where combining NOUVADerm with Fractional Radiofrequency (FR) creates a powerful synergy.
Why Combine These Technologies?
Each technology works at different depths and through complementary mechanisms.
NOUVADerm™ (1927 nm Thulium Laser):
Targets epidermis and superficial dermis
Addresses pigmentation and surface texture
Stimulates collagen in upper skin layers
Minimal downtime with visible surface improvement
Fractional Radiofrequency (FR):
Penetrates deeper into the dermis and subdermal layers
Delivers thermal energy through microneedles or electrodes
Triggers robust neocollagenesis and elastin remodeling at deeper levels
Tightens skin from within by contracting existing collagen fibers
Addresses structural laxity and deeper wrinkle formation
What This Combination Treats:
Each technology works at different depths using complementary mechanisms - allowing for more complete skin renewal.
The Treatment Protocol
At Austin Regenerative Therapy, we strategically layer these modalities based on your skin's specific needs:
Option 1:
Sequential Treatment
FR treatment first to address deeper structural concerns
NOUVADerm follow-up (4-6 weeks later) to refine surface texture and tone
Staged collagen remodeling at multiple depths
Option 2:
Same-Day Combination Session
Staged collagen remodeling at multiple depths
FR and NOUVADerm performed in a single appointment
FR targets deeper layers; NOUVADerm refines superficial layers
Comprehensive rejuvenation in fewer visits
May involve slightly longer recovery
Option 3:
Alternating Series (3–6 Months)
Alternating FR and NOUVADerm treatments
Continuous collagen stimulation over time
Ideal for progressive, natural-looking improvement
Expected Results
Patients who combine NOUVADerm with FR typically experience:
30-50% improvement in skin laxity within 3-6 months
Significant reduction in deep wrinkle depth
Improved skin density and firmness
Enhanced facial contour and lift
More comprehensive and longer-lasting rejuvenation
Results that continue improving for up to 12 months post-treatment
Recovery Considerations
When combined, expect:
Moderate redness for 2-4 days
Possible mild swelling (especially with FR)
Micro-crusting from NOUVADerm for 5-7 days
Potential for small RF needle marks (resolve within days)
Return to normal activities within 3-5 days
Strict sun protection for 2-4 weeks
Who Is This Combination Right For?
The NOUVADerm + FR combination is ideal for patients who:
1
Have both textural concerns and deeper structural laxity
2
Want comprehensive facial rejuvenation without surgery
3
Are seeking alternatives to facelift or thread lifts
4
Have realistic expectations and can commit to a treatment series
5
Desire natural, progressive results that honor their features
