FEATURECUSTOMISED LASER
By NABILA AZLAN

“Here’s a confession: stepping out of
Novu Aesthetics’ treatment centre in
Sunway Pyramid made me a laser
treatment virgin no more! I wasn’t
really keen on going through one at
the beginning, thinking that lasers might
sting and I’d have to pay a hefty price
for the experience, but it’s safe to say
that Novu changed my mind.
Novu’s offerings (termed the Novu
360 solution) rescues, renews and restores
skin into its bouncy form through its
3C principle – Colour, Consistency and
Contour. Hailing from Singapore, the
brand vows to deliver an impactful
change in beauty through purse-friendly
prices – no frills, just high-tech shortcuts
to awesome skin. A Novu consultant
took a look at my skin before composing
my buffet of treatments, each addressing
my concerns – namely spots, dehydration
and dullness.”
P+ PHYTO LASER
“Contrary to my worries, this laser bit is
gentle with no downtime! Each needle-
sized zap from Novu’s Nd:Yag laser
machine feels like a soft buzz on my skin
(imagine the sensation of using an electric
shaver) without feeling excessive heat,
even when it’s targeted on my chin and
forehead where most of my past pimples
resided. This non-ablative step fades spots
and scars to reveal brighter and clearer
skin as surfaces affected by acne and
pigmentation appear brand new!”
RADIANCE LIGHT
“True to its name, this treatment uses
Intense Pulse Light (IPL) to even out
my skin tone through flashes of light.
Radiance Light kills sneaky surface
bacteria, prevents acne formation and
improves the appearance of pores (sans
the taut, flaky feeling). Overall, the process
felt brief – bright rays came through in
what felt like a few blinks and it’s done!”ION INFUSION
“This is my favourite treatment of
the three. Aiming to supply a boost of
hydration, Ion Infusion uses Novu’s
Iontophoresis technique (electrical
stimulation to improve skin absorption)
to instantly plump up my skin with
Kakadu plum extract. Moisture andNO PAIN, MAXIMUM GAINS! NOVU’S

POST-TREATMENT CAREnutrients are infused in real time and
throughout this process, I loved how the
cool gel sensation felt on my face. My skin
felt firm, with drier spots like my cheeks
and nose slits smooth and non-parched.”MY VERDICT: “If you’re pinched for time
(and money), try this. For only about 30
minutes on the chair, this treatment buffet
managed to give me an Insta-glow!”

“This contains 15 per cent of a superior form of Vitamin
C, THD ascorbate, which is both stable and oil-soluble,
making it absorb really quickly into the skin. What it does
is rapidly brighten skin’s appearance and works to even
out the discolouration on my face.” – Rachel, Special

“This is the bigger version of the LUNA play and comes
with longer bristles. It uses T-Sonic pulsation and a gentle

“Call me Ironman cos that’s exactly who I feel like with this
mask on! This wearable device that’s powered by LED light
therapy offers three options: red light to increase collagen
production, blue light to combat acne-causing bacteria and
a combo of the two colours for double the duty. It’s slightly
heavy but doesn’t budge when you put it on.” – Elaine,
