Beyond the Face: How NOUVADerm Is Transforming Our Clients' Stretch Marks

“I never thought I’d see patients cry tears of joy over stretch marks—until NOUVADerm changed everything.”

At Novel U Wellness, I’ve witnessed countless transformations. But nothing quite compares to seeing a client’s reaction when they realize the stretch marks they’ve hidden for years are finally fading. These silvery lines that so many have been told to “just accept” are now responding to treatment in ways we couldn’t offer before NOUVADerm arrived at our practice.

When we first introduced NOUVADerm technology at Novel U, we knew it would revolutionize facial treatments—but its ability to address body concerns has been truly game-changing for our clients. Let me share what we’re seeing and why this treatment is different from anything you might have tried before.

Why NOUVADerm Succeeds Where Other Treatments Fail

Many of our clients come to us after trying countless creams, oils, and even other professional treatments with disappointing results. What makes NOUVADerm different is its comprehensive approach to skin restoration.

Unlike traditional lasers that only address one aspect of stretch marks, NOUVADerm is a versatile 4th-generation fractional skin resurfacing platform that combines multiple treatment modes in one system. This allows us to customize treatments specifically for stretch marks, which require a different approach than facial concerns.

“The technology works on multiple levels simultaneously,” explains Dr. Mahdavi. “We can target both the textural changes and discoloration that make stretch marks visible, while stimulating deep collagen remodeling that actually changes the skin structure.”

The science is impressive: NOUVADerm delivers precisely controlled energy at varying depths, triggering cellular regeneration exactly where stretch marks form. With its powerful 30mm spot-size laser, we can efficiently treat larger areas like thighs, abdomen, or hips in remarkably short sessions.

What to Expect During Your NOUVADerm Treatment

When clients visit us for stretch mark treatment, we begin with a thorough consultation to assess their specific concerns. Every stretch mark has its own characteristics—some are newer and reddish, others older and silver—and we adjust our approach accordingly.

The treatment itself is surprisingly comfortable. We apply a numbing cream to ensure your comfort, then use the NOUVADerm handpiece across the treatment area. Most clients describe the sensation as warm but tolerable—nothing like the painful snapping associated with older laser technologies.

A typical session for stretch marks takes between 15–30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Immediately afterward, your skin will appear pink and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. We’ll provide you with our RE|PAIR Post-Treatment Skincare Serum and detailed aftercare instructions.

One aspect our clients particularly appreciate is the minimal downtime. Unlike more aggressive treatments, most people return to normal activities the next day—just with careful sun protection and gentle skincare.

The Transformation You Can Expect

Based on the hundreds of stretch mark treatments we’ve performed, here’s the typical timeline our clients experience:

Days 1–3: The treated areas develop tiny micro-crusts (what we call “MENDs”)—this is actually a positive sign that the treatment is working to push damaged tissue out as new skin forms underneath.

Days 4–7: With proper moisturizing, these micro-crusts naturally flake away, revealing smoother skin beneath.

Weeks 2–3: This is when the most noticeable changes begin. The raised texture of stretch marks starts flattening, and the discoloration begins to blend with your natural skin tone.

Week 6: After a second treatment (we typically recommend 2–3 sessions spaced six weeks apart), even stubborn stretch marks show significant improvement in both texture and color.

One of our recent clients, a mother of two who had resigned herself to never wearing a two-piece swimsuit again, shared:

“After my third session, I actually forgot about my stretch marks for the first time in years. I was packing for vacation and realized I hadn’t even thought about how to hide them.”

Beyond the Physical Results


What truly makes our work rewarding is seeing how these treatments impact our clients’ lives beyond the visible results. We’ve had clients who:

  • Finally felt comfortable wearing shorts after years of covering up
  • Stopped declining pool party invitations
  • Reported feeling more present and confident in intimate relationships
  • Experienced relief from the constant mental burden of hiding or worrying about their stretch marks


At Novel U Med Spa, we understand that skin concerns are never just cosmetic—they affect how you move through the world and interact with others. The confidence that comes from addressing these concerns often creates positive ripple effects throughout our clients’ lives.

Is NOUVADerm Right for You?


While we’ve seen remarkable results, it’s important to have realistic expectations. Factors that influence your outcome include:

  • The age and color of your stretch marks
  • Your skin type and tone
  • Your body’s natural healing response
  • Following our recommended aftercare protocol


What makes NOUVADerm particularly effective is our ability to customize the treatment specifically for your skin. During your consultation at Novel U Wellness, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan with settings adjusted for your unique concerns.

The Long-Term Investment


Quality skin treatments represent an investment, but many clients tell us they’ve already spent more on ineffective creams, specialized clothing, and temporary cover-up solutions over the years. NOUVADerm offers something different: progressive improvement that continues months after treatment as collagen remodeling advances.

Unlike temporary solutions, NOUVADerm addresses the root causes of stretch marks, creating lasting improvement that many clients describe as life-changing.

Take the First Step


If you’ve been told to simply accept your stretch marks, we invite you to discover what’s now possible. Schedule a consultation at Novel U Wellness to learn if NOUVADerm is right for you. Our team is committed to creating a comfortable, judgment-free environment where you can explore your options.

Sometimes the treatments we think are purely aesthetic end up transforming much more than just our skin—they free us to live more confidently in the bodies we have. And witnessing those transformations is why we do what we do at Novel U Wellness.
