Common Questions

Facials, Lasers & Peels FAQs

It depends on your concerns and goals. NOUVADerm patients often see significant improvement in 1–3 sessions. The Aerolase Neo Elite typically recommends a series of 4–6 sessions for optimal results, though improvement is visible after just one. We’ll recommend a personalized treatment plan at your consultation.

It varies by device. The Aerolase Neo Elite has zero downtime — most patients resume normal activities immediately. NOUVADerm may cause redness and mild peeling for 0–3 days (or up to 7 days for the fully ablative treatment). IPL typically has minimal downtime — some temporary redness and darkening of treated spots that resolves within a week.

The Aerolase Neo Elite is a high-power 1064nm Nd:YAG laser with a proprietary 650-microsecond pulse technology. It’s virtually painless, requires no anesthetic or cooling, and is safe for all skin tones including Fitzpatrick types I–VI. It’s FDA-cleared for over 36 indications including acne, rosacea, melasma, collagen stimulation, and hair removal. It’s arriving at NPS Wellness in May 2026 — book a consultation now to get on the priority list.

Each device targets different depths and concerns. The Aerolase Neo Elite (1064nm) penetrates deeply to target pigment, vessels, and acne — it’s virtually pain-free and safe for all skin tones. NOUVADerm (1927nm Thulium) is a fractional laser ideal for surface texture, sun damage, and resurfacing with minimal downtime. IPL (broadband light) targets superficial pigment and redness but is best for lighter skin tones. We offer a comparison guide above, and our providers will recommend the right device — or combination — at your consult.

Yes — with proper timing. We’ll help you sequence your treatments for maximum benefit and ensure your skin has adequate recovery time between more intensive procedures. The Aerolase Neo Elite and NOUVADerm are often used in combination for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Compounded skincare treatments are custom-formulated prescription creams and gels that combine multiple medical-grade active ingredients tailored to your specific skin concerns — such as aging, melasma, rosacea, or acne. Unlike off-the-shelf products, compounded formulations allow your provider to customize the exact combination and concentration of ingredients for your skin. A consultation is required. Ask us about compounded skincare at your next visit.

We treat all skin tones and types. The Aerolase Neo Elite and NOUVADerm are both safe for Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI, including tanned and darker skin. IPL is best suited for Fitzpatrick types I–III. Fitzpatrick skin type is an important factor in device selection — we assess this at your consultation to ensure the safest and most effective approach.
