A little XERF goes a long way.
XERF uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen for a firmer, tighter, more lifted look with no needles. And XERF doesn’t stop working when the treatment does. Collagen remodeling continues after your appointment, meaning results continue to improve over time.
Painless. No downtime. Just really good skin tightening.

We asked our girl @thefoundationmethodbyerica to document the first week after her UltraClear Laser Coring treatment, and she understood the assignment. 🫡 Let’s take a look at her progress over the week.
At 40, she chose laser coring to go beyond traditional resurfacing. By creating microscopic cores in the skin, UltraClear stimulates remodeling and new collagen production to help improve skin laxity, fine lines, texture and overall quality of the skin.
Yes, you’ll be swollen. Yes, you will need a few days to heal. And yes, the fall is the best time to take on a procedure that is absolutely worth it. Dare we say that UltraClear will be priced exclusively for our Annual Celebration guests? See you September 16th!

We asked for a list of Dr. Lee’s hobbies and somehow we ended up just finding another reason to love him. 🥹
What hobby should @dr.lee_htx try next?
We’ve been wanting to add something new to our hair growth lineup, but we’re picky about what makes it onto the shelves.
@xtressehairtherapy made the cut. These hair growth gummies are biotin-free, sugar-free, dermatologist-developed and designed to support fuller, healthier-looking hair in just three months.
Easy to take - yes, they actually taste good! - and just as easy to add to your routine. Now available at Nuveau.

For our gorgeous patient, choosing plastic surgery was about something deeply personal: reclaiming ownership of her body after surviving the unthinkable. In her words, “I got to choose. I got to decide what happened to my body.”
Over the last three years, her journey with @dr.lee_htx and the Nuveau team has included a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, hernia repair, liposuction, fat grafting and treatments to care for her skin along the way. But as she so beautifully shares, the greatest transformation was never something that could be measured on an operating table.
It was feeling safe. Feeling cared for. Making decisions for herself. Looking in the mirror and knowing, “This body belongs to me. This life belongs to me. And I’m allowed to love them both.”
We are incredibly grateful that she trusted Dr. Lee and the Nuveau team to be one small part of such a meaningful chapter in her life. These surgical and aesthetic results have only become more meaningful to our patient, and us. 🤍 Thank you for trusting us with your story, your care, and your restoration.

Summer may not be over quite yet, but your post-summer skin reset can definitely be on the calendar because before we know it, laser season will be in full swing at Nuveau!
MOXI is one of our favorites for hitting reset after a long summer. This patient’s results are after just one MOXI session with @laserexperthouston, targeting sun damage, uneven pigmentation, tone and texture for brighter, more refreshed skin.
And a little heads up: Elena’s fall schedule is already starting to fill up, and we haven’t even had our Annual Celebration yet. 👀 If MOXI is part of your post-summer routine or you want to get started and prep for the holidays, now is the time to book.

Celebrating Beatrice! 🐝
Along with her birthday, Beatrice celebrated a big anniversary at Nuveau as @dr.lee_htx’s Patient Care Coordinator. For five years, she has been a trusted source of support for our surgical patients and an essential part of everything that happens behind the scenes at the Nuveau Surgery Center. She keeps things moving, keeps us laughing (a little too hard sometimes 😂😂), and yes, occasionally keeps Dr. Lee in check. 👑
Beatrice, we are incredibly thankful for everything you do and so proud to have you as a trusted leader and friend. We hope this next year gives you even MORE reasons to celebrate! 🎉
A little recognition for our very own, @dr.lee_htx! 👏👏👏 Dr. Lee has been named among Cynosure Lutronic’s Top Aesthetic Leaders who trust XERF, joining physicians and aesthetic experts behind XERF Structural Skin Tightening.
At Nuveau, bringing in new technology is never simply about having the latest device. We carefully choose treatments Dr. Lee believes in, understands, and feels can genuinely elevate the care and results we provide our patients.
Developed in Korea, where aesthetic technology continues to push the boundaries of non-surgical skin treatments, XERF was a technology Dr. Lee believed was worth bringing to his Houston patients.
We’re proud to see his expertise and commitment to innovation recognized alongside leading physicians across North America.

The goal isn’t just a flatter stomach or results only seen from a front view. The defined waist and smoother shape from every angle is why this procedure is called Lipo 360.
Lipo 360 is meant to improve shape and proportion… not serve as a weight loss procedure. By contouring the abdomen, waist, flanks and lower back together, @dr.lee_htx creates a balanced and natural result for our gorgeous patient.

Facelifts and finances, just what the doctor ordered. @dr.lee_htx shares five aesthetic things NOT worth your money, or time!
Yes, we’re laughing again. 😂

Some of our best days are breast days. 🍒
The goal was to revise and create a more supported, balanced shape while addressing an implant that had fallen below its ideal position.
Can you tell from her results, the more centered appearance and improved symmetry/proportion? Most importantly, we have a patient that feels confident and loves her results from @dr.lee_htx.
⏱️ In-office surgical consultation required
💉 Performed under general anesthesia

Suncare, but make it skincare. ☀️ Fall may be right around the corner, but the Houston sun isn’t going anywhere just yet. And while SPF is a year-round essential, we love one that does a little more.
Meet the new @alastinskincare SilkShield Pro Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30. Lightweight, sheer and powered by TriHex Technology, it helps protect against UVA/UVB rays while supporting the skin’s natural production of healthy collagen and elastin.
Daily sun protection + regenerative skincare in one easy step. 🤍 Comment SPF to learn more!
Kinda chic to skip the pain and see visible improvement right after… 🪄
It’s not magic - XERF uses advanced radiofrequency technology to tighten and lift the skin while stimulating collagen for results that are immediately noticeable.
Sit back, relax, and let’s XERF.
