If you want to improve your skin’s tone, texture, fine lines, pigmentation, or scars without the long recovery that older lasers demand, the NOUVADerm laser at Alternative Health and Healing Center in Naples offers an advanced, customizable option. It is an aesthetic upgrade to the whole-person, drug-free care Dr. Paul Finucan has provided across Southwest Florida for more than 40 years.
What Is the NOUVADerm Laser?
NOUVADerm is an advanced fractional 1927nm thulium skin rejuvenation system. Rather than treating the entire surface at once, it delivers energy in thousands of tiny, controlled columns and leaves the surrounding skin intact. That fractional approach triggers your skin’s natural cellular turnover and collagen production, which is what gradually smooths texture and improves tone. Because it works fractionally, recovery is typically faster than with traditional heavy ablative lasers.
What NOUVADerm Treats
One of the reasons providers choose NOUVADerm is its range. In a single platform it can help improve:
- Overall skin tone and radiance
- Rough or uneven texture
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Pigmentation and sun damage
- Scars, including acne scars
It is not limited to the face, either. With large spot sizes up to 30mm, NOUVADerm can treat the body as well, addressing stretch marks, scars, and texture on areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and legs.
The Key Benefits of NOUVADerm
Customizable treatment modes. NOUVADerm offers non-ablative, sub-ablative, and ablative options in one system, so your provider can adjust the intensity to match your skin and your goals rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all treatment.
Full-body versatility. Its large spot sizes make it practical for more than the face, so a single device can help with texture and scarring from head to toe.
Minimal downtime. By prompting your skin’s own cellular turnover and collagen production, NOUVADerm delivers meaningful resurfacing with faster recovery than heavier ablative lasers.
Designed with diverse skin tones in mind. Adjustable energy settings are used to help lower the risk of unwanted hyperpigmentation across a range of skin tones. Your provider confirms the right settings for you at your consultation.
Specialized presets. NOUVADerm includes a NOUVAGlo setting for general radiance and a Hair Support Mode that helps prep and optimize the scalp as part of hair restoration.
What to Expect
Every treatment starts with a consultation. Dr. Finucan reviews your skin, your history, and what you want to achieve, then selects the mode and intensity that fit. Because NOUVADerm is fractional and offers lighter non-ablative and sub-ablative settings, most people can return to their routine sooner than they would after aggressive resurfacing. Your skin continues to renew over the following weeks as new collagen forms, and your provider will walk you through exactly what to expect for your specific plan.
Is NOUVADerm Right for You?
NOUVADerm is a strong fit if you want to address tone, texture, fine lines, pigmentation, or scarring with a treatment that can be tailored to your skin and comes with less downtime than heavy lasers. Because its energy settings are adjustable, it can be customized across a range of skin tones. The best way to know whether it is right for you is a personal evaluation with Dr. Finucan.
Preparing for Your Treatment and Aftercare
A little preparation helps you get the most from resurfacing. In the weeks before your appointment, your provider may ask you to limit sun exposure and pause certain active skincare ingredients so your skin is calm and ready. Arriving with clean skin and a clear sense of your goals makes the consultation more productive, and it gives Dr. Finucan the information he needs to choose the right mode and intensity for you.
Afterward, your skin may look flushed or feel similar to a mild sunburn for a short time as it begins to renew. Gentle care is what matters most: cleanse lightly, keep the area moisturized, avoid picking or scrubbing, and protect your skin from the sun with a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. Because everyone heals a little differently, Dr. Finucan gives you personalized aftercare instructions based on the treatment you received, and he stays available for questions as your skin recovers over the following days and weeks.

What does the NOUVADerm laser treat?
NOUVADerm improves skin tone, texture, fine lines, pigmentation, and scars on both the face and the body. With large spot sizes up to 30mm, it can also help with stretch marks and texture on areas like the abdomen, thighs, and legs.
How much downtime does NOUVADerm require?
NOUVADerm is a fractional laser with customizable non-ablative, sub-ablative, and ablative modes, so recovery is typically faster than with traditional heavy ablative lasers. Your provider tailors the intensity to your skin, and Dr. Finucan will review what to expect for your specific treatment.
Is NOUVADerm safe for different skin tones?
NOUVADerm is designed with adjustable energy settings that help lower the risk of unwanted hyperpigmentation across a range of skin tones. A consultation with Dr. Finucan is the best way to confirm the right approach for your skin.
What are NOUVAGlo and the Hair Support Mode?
They are specialized NOUVADerm presets. NOUVAGlo is used for general radiance, and the Hair Support Mode helps prepare and optimize the scalp as part of hair restoration. Dr. Finucan can explain which options fit your goals.
How many NOUVADerm sessions will I need?
It depends on your skin and your goals. Some concerns respond well to a single treatment, while tone, texture, and scarring often improve gradually over a short series of sessions spaced weeks apart so your skin can renew in between. Dr. Finucan maps out a realistic plan at your consultation and adjusts it based on how your skin responds.
