NUSKINNOVATION
ENHANCING THE FACE OF BEAUTY
NuSkinnovation originated in Centurion, Pretoria and is a clinic well known for
its world-class laser and IPL systems, which give incredible results within one
session. NuSkinnovation is passionate about the aesthetic industry, a drive
which is motivated by clinic owner Nicolene Pelster. Her incredible ambition,
success and eye for excellence led to the franchising of her brand. Megan Wauts,
a fully qualified Candela and Fotona operator, locally and internationally
trained laser specialist, opened our first franchise in Mbombela due to the
high demand in Mpumalanga. Megan’s passion for people and beauty is the
main driving force behind NuSkinnovation Nelspruit. Sophia Loren once said,
“Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful.”
They therefore strive to not only make each and every person who walks into
their clinic feel beautiful on the outside, but on the inside as well.
NuSkinnovation is dedicated to providing the latest and most effective
skin and laser treatments, making each client feel comfortable with
and happy in their own skin.
While ageing may be a part of life,
looking your age does not have to be!

Fotona StarWalker
The Fotona StarWalker won all the awards for best aesthetic
laser system in Europe in 2017. NuSkinnovation is currently
the only owner of this incredible system in South Africa.
Its groundbreaking adaptive structured pulse (ASP)
technology represents a cosmic shift forward in the
medical and aesthetic laser industry. This thirdgeneration
technology combines the unsurpassed
range of pulse duration modes of Fotona’s variable
square pulse technology with the revolutionary
capability of ASP technology to adapt the temporal
structure of laser pulses to the biophotonic dynamics
of laser tissue interaction.
StarWalker’s unique transverse mode discrimination laser
oscillator technology combined with the ASP pulse control
delivers very short (five nanonsecond) Q-switched pulses
consisting of a high energy train of ultrashort bursts of
energy in trillionths of a second, enabling photomechanical
impact to shatter tiny skin targets without injury to the
surrounding skin. StarWalker’s technology thus combines
the high-energy capabilities of nanosecond lasers
with the ultrashort pulse peak powers of traditional

picosecond lasers.
The unique MaQX high-energy capability of Star-
Walker enables the generation of a higher energy
photoacoustic effect at the treatment site, leading
to more effective and faster treatments. Additionally,
with high MaQX energies, larger spot sizes can be
used, resulting in more homogeneous treatments of
even deeper lying skin pigments, and therefore with
reduced risk of unwanted side effects. It is one of the
safest way to treat clients with melasma (hormonal
pigmentation).
It also removes tattoos scar-free due to the fact that
it has a special method preventing the skin from
heating up. The Nd:YAG penetrates the skin up to
the second layer and therefore forces it to produce
new collagen. This helps to rebuild your skin
structure and also aids in destroying acne bacteria
due to heat and oxygen which are forced into the
area. We have Dr Dylan Jenkins on board who
provides medical aesthetic treatments such as
anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, chemical peels,
PDO threads and PRP injections. We are
currently seeking a qualified permanent make-up
and lash specialist for our clinic.
Candela Nordlys
The Candela Nordlys is a Candela product which
uses third-generation technology in intense
pulsed light (IPL). IPL is a widely used cosmetic
dermatology treatment, making use of light therapy
to treat countless skin issues for therapeutic and
aesthetic purposes. These treatments include
uneven skin tone, blemishes, removal of all
epidermal pigmentation like freckles and it
softens wrinkles, skin redness and large pores.
Hair removal, photo rejuvenation and dermatologic
diseases such as acne are also alleviated by these
treatments. IPL incorporates vibrating light pulses
which are customised to your skin’s needs, and can
be used on the face, body or hands. The procedure
is entirely noninvasive, requires no recovery time
and can improve the appearance of your skin for
up to 12 months. IPL and laser treatments both
make use of light and heat to destroy their targets.
However, unlike lasers, IPL uses a broad spectrum
instead of a single wavelength of light which allows
it to target several conditions. It is an amazing skin
rejuvenation treatment that gives your skin a
beautiful glow and skin tone.
The system also has the Nd:YAG laser which is
designed to treat leg vessels up to 3mm as well as
vascular lesions such as venous lakes and portwine
stains. The Frax 1550 provides the deepest
rejuvenation with a wavelength that restores your
skin and remodels your epidermal layer. Frax 1550
is designed for non-ablative skin resurfacing and
treatment of acne scars, surgical scars and striae
