Pro-Nox is a blend of nitrous oxide and oxygen that you breathe through a mouthpiece you hold yourself. You control how much you take and when, so you can use it as much or as little as you need.
Why our patients love it:
☁️ It starts working within a few breaths
☁️ It takes the edge off both nerves and discomfort
☁️ It wears off a few minutes after you stop, so you can get back to your day
☁️ It pairs with lots of treatments, not just injections
In this visit, @thefoundationmethodbyerica treated @laserexperthouston’s scalp with hair exosomes, a regenerative treatment that helps support healthier follicles and a stronger, fuller-looking head of hair. It’s a great fit if you’re noticing thinning, shedding, or just want to give your hair some extra love. And as you can see, the Pro-Nox kept the nerves at bay.

It’s October, and for many of us, Breast Cancer Awareness is very personal. For @dr.lee_htx, his grandmother’s experience with breast cancer was a big part of why he became a doctor. 💗
The most important thing on your to-do list this month is making sure you have your annual mammogram scheduled. Early detection can truly make all the difference. 💞

Good filler shouldn’t enter the room before you do. It’s about structure, balance, and proportion. A little more shape in the lips and strategic filler through the chin shadows creates better balance from every angle, without unnatural volume or overfilling.

Happy Birthday to our sweet Jessica - the right hand to Dr. Lee and such an important part of our surgical team. 🤍 From keeping clinic days moving to taking care of our patients throughout their surgical journey, @jessica.nuveau is always right there making sure everything (and everyone 😂) stays on track.
Jessica works closely alongside @dr.lee_htx day in and day out and has become such a familiar face for so many of our surgical patients. We hope she feels extra celebrated today!
Please help us wish Jessica the happiest birthday! 🎂
A 10/10 experience is always the goal. From the first consultation through recovery, we want every part of the process to feel just as good as the final result.
Thank you to every patient who trusts @dr.lee_htx and our team to be part of their journey.

Meet the newest member of the Nuveau team, Hilal! 💜
Hilal joins us and the Nuveau Surgery Center as our new Surgical Tech, assisting @dr.lee_htx and our clinical team with surgical operations and helping keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
We’re so happy to have her here and part of our Nuveau family!
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!

Reviews
Maria, Maddy, and the rest of the staff were great from start to finish. Maria, the practice's medical aesthetician, is an industry veteran and I inherently trusted her wealth of experience. I went down the tiktok rabbit hole about the Halo laser being painful (not at this practice), but in my experience it was surprisingly painless and very manageable, which was such a pleasant surprise. Hanging out with Maria felt like gabbing with your girlfriends. Downtime was only about 5 days.
A special thank you to Maddy for getting me in. I’m so glad I trusted her recommendation. The team really emphasizes proper pre and post-laser care, which I believe made a big difference in how well I healed and the quality of my results. They didn't push products at all (which is so refreshing), but I looooved the post treatment sunscreen Maria used on me (Alastin Hydratint) so much that I bought some before leaving.
If you’re considering Halo or BBL, or looking to embark on your glazed donut skin journey, I highly recommend booking a consultation and working with Maria. You’ll be in excellent hands.
