AquaFirmeXS combines three technologies that work together to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate and nourish, paired with a family of proprietary, plant-based serums curated to your skin. The result is brighter, clearer, more resilient skin, with a natural glow you can see the same day and no downtime.

The same system, fitted with the ULTRA ultrasound handpiece and the DE|RIVE serum, turns to the scalp, nourishing follicles for the appearance of thicker, fuller hair.

The serum system

Clarify

Deeply cleanses and exfoliates: the start of every treatment, preparing skin to absorb what follows.

Vivify

Brightens and evens the complexion, designed for blotchiness, sunspots and dull tone.

Detox

Reduces inflammatory pollutants and free radicals while boosting antioxidants to restore balance.

Defy

The most advanced defense against “inflammaging”, fighting the appearance of premature aging.

Serums are layered to your needs, and can be joined by EXO|E skin-revitalizing complex for enhanced results, and DE|RIVE for scalp & hair: 100% natural, hormone-free, suitable for all skin types.

NouvaDerm Advanced laser skin revitalization

Laser light that refreshes and renews.

See results for NouvaDerm →

NouvaDerm delivers laser skin revitalization across two modes: REFRESH for a luminous, even surface, and RENEW for deeper, progressive anti-aging. It improves tone and texture, softens melasma and pigmentation, and rebuilds skin quality over a considered series. The NouvaGrow protocol turns the same platform to the scalp.

Built on a 1927nm Thulium fractional laser, NouvaDerm is fully customizable, from a no-downtime “lunchtime” refresh to deeper correction, and safe on every skin type and tone. Most patients see an immediate improvement, with full results developing over four to six weeks.

Tone & texture Melasma & pigmentation Progressive anti-aging Scalp (NouvaGrow)
NouvaDerm laser device The NouvaDerm laser platform
How it works
01

Fractional 1927nm laser

A Thulium fractional laser creates thousands of microscopic channels in the surface, sloughing tired outer skin to reveal fresh skin beneath.

02

Customizable intensity

Non-ablative, sub-ablative and ablative settings dial the treatment from a no-downtime refresh to deeper correction, matched to your skin and schedule.

03

Collagen renewal

Those micro-channels trigger the skin’s natural healing response, building new collagen over the weeks that follow for brighter, smoother, more even tone.

The protocols

Refresh

Luminous, even surface

A light-exfoliation “lunchtime” glow that evens tone and revives radiance with little to no downtime.

Renew

Progressive anti-aging

Deeper resurfacing for fine lines, sun damage and melasma, with a few days of recovery for a more dramatic result.

Plasma energy, two ways.

See results for PLADUOpro →

PLADUOpro pairs nitrogen and argon plasma in a single platform: nitrogen to rebuild texture, tone and elasticity, argon to calm and clarify acne-prone or sensitive skin. It firms and tightens, powers the delicate Plasma Eye Revival protocol for the eyelid and under-eye area, and treats the face and body where precision matters most.

FDA-cleared and safe on all skin types and tones, even over hair and on delicate areas like the eyelids. Patented SpinShot technology delivers energy precisely, from a no-downtime “lunchtime” glow to deeper correction, with full results developing over four to six weeks.

How it works
01

Nitrogen plasma

Stimulates collagen and cellular renewal to improve texture, tone and elasticity, smoothing fine lines and firming the skin.

02

Argon plasma

Adds antibacterial benefits that calm and clarify: ideal for acne-prone or sensitive skin, helping normalize sebum and support the skin’s microbiome.

03

SpinShot delivery

Patented technology delivers energy precisely and evenly, so treatments can dial from a light refresh to deeper correction with control.

Two treatments in one: FDA-cleared and clinically proven across a range of indications, from acne and rosacea to resurfacing and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Scarlet Pro RF Short-pulse RF microneedling

Rebuilding skin from within.

See results for Scarlet Pro RF →

Scarlet Pro RF pairs microneedling with short-pulse radiofrequency: ultra-fine needles carry controlled RF energy into the dermis, and the heat prompts the skin to build new collagen and elastin. The result is firmer, lifted, smoother skin, across the face, neck and body, with visible tightening you feel right away and remodeling that keeps improving for months.

Most patients see results from a single session; we typically recommend a series of three to maximize rejuvenation. With the skin numbed, the treatment feels like little more than light pressure.

How it works
01

RF microneedling

Fine needles deliver radiofrequency heat into the dermis, stimulating new collagen and elastin where laxity begins.

02

The Na Effect

Tapered electrodes release energy in a teardrop pattern along the path of least resistance, for even, predictable, safer results.

03

Robotic precision

A linear robotic motor drives smooth, consistent needling with minimal bleeding: a comfortable treatment, up to 25% faster.

FDA-approved and patented in more than 70 countries, Scarlet Pro RF was developed through rigorous clinical trials.

Questions

Good to know about Scarlet Pro RF.

What is Scarlet Pro RF, and how does it work?+

Scarlet Pro RF is radiofrequency microneedling. A handpiece of ultra-fine needles delivers a very short pulse of RF energy just beneath the surface of the skin. The warmth prompts the skin to rebuild its own collagen and elastin, which is what firms, smooths and lifts over the months that follow. The short pulse, under a third of a second, is the reason the treatment is comfortable and the downtime is so brief.

What does it treat?+

Skin laxity and lifting on the face, neck, jawline and body; texture, pores and photo-aging; acne scarring and stretch marks; and, with a lighter setting, the scalp as part of a hair-support plan. Scarlet has also been studied for redness conditions such as rosacea and for active acne. Which of these it can do for you is decided in your consultation.

Does it hurt?+

Very little. We numb the area with a topical cream for about half an hour first. Most people describe the treatment itself as light pressure and a sense of warmth. There is little to no bleeding, and no sensitivity of the kind some older microneedling devices cause.

How long does a session take?+

About twenty minutes for the face and ten for the neck, plus the numbing time beforehand. A body area depends on its size. Plan on roughly an hour in the studio for a face treatment.

How many sessions will I need, and how far apart?+

Most people see a change from a single session. For skin rejuvenation we usually recommend a series of three, spaced about four to six weeks apart so the skin has time to build new collagen between visits. Scarring and stretch marks often take a longer series; we set that in your plan.

Is there downtime? What should I do afterwards?+

Little to none. Expect some pinkness and mild warmth, like a light sunburn, that settles within a day and occasionally up to three. Most people go straight back to their day. For the first 24 hours: no makeup, no heavy exercise or heat, and only gentle cleanser and moisturiser. Sunscreen every day after. Hold your retinoids and exfoliating acids for a few days, then resume.

Is it safe for my skin tone?+

Yes. Scarlet Pro RF is used on all skin types, including deeper skin tones. It works with electrical energy rather than light, so it does not target pigment the way many lasers do, and the risk of post-treatment darkening is very low.

When will I see results, and how long do they last?+

Some tightening is visible right away. The deeper change, as new collagen and elastin form, builds gradually over two to three months. After a series, results are generally described as lasting six months to a year, depending on your skin and how it ages. A single maintenance session once or twice a year keeps things where you want them.

How does Scarlet compare to Morpheus8?+

They are the same family of treatment, RF microneedling, tuned differently. Scarlet uses very short RF pulses through fine, non-insulated needles at a shallower depth, which is why it is comfortable, quick, and back-to-normal within a day. Morpheus8 reaches deeper, into the fat layer, and is chosen for heavier subdermal work, at the cost of several days of redness and swelling. For facial texture, tightening, scarring and comfort on all skin tones, we find Scarlet the better fit, which is why we chose it.

Who should not have Scarlet Pro RF?+

As with any RF microneedling, we do not treat during pregnancy, over active skin infections or open lesions, or where there is an implanted electrical device such as a pacemaker. Recent isotretinoin use, a history of keloid scarring and certain medical conditions also need review. All of this is covered in your consultation before anything is scheduled.
