Chan Brown is one of more than 11.1 million* Americans holding a concealed carry permit, but he doesn’t use a traditional holster for his handgun. In fact, he doesn’t use one at all. A retired U.S. Navy SEAL senior chief, Brown recently invested in the latest

Waist Holster

innovation in concealment wear-undergarments designed by Covert Compression to comfortably and safely secure his weapon in a way that enables him to wear unlimited clothing styles rather than baggy, oversized shirts.

Brown explains, “Covert Compression concealed garments are an “extension of skin” that allows you to carry concealed with easy access comfortably in many positions. Either under the arm or on the waist, front or rear ambidextrously. I highly recommend for men and women who carry concealed.”

Ladies’ Short

These one-of-a-kind garments are the brainchild of Dawn Cover, owner of Nouvelle Inc. and Jessica Henry, marketing and sales director. They discovered a need for quality concealment wear when searching for a garment to secure Henry’s weapon. Cover said, “I searched everywhere and even ordered several garments, but when they arrived I was astonished at how flimsy and unsafe they seemed. I decided to use my knowledge in textiles and design to make the garments myself,” she said.

The current Covert Compression line features five unique garments unlike anything available online or in retail stores. “I wanted to create a versatile collection-one that could accommodate men and women wearing shorts, skirts, or close-fitting t-shirts,” said Cover. “The product we developed is safe, secure, and slimming.”

Cover and Henry introduced the new line at the recent SGK Hampton Gun Show. Response to the products has been overwhelmingly positive. One customer, Jennifer Brunatti-Hudson writes, “Bought a waist holster at the gun show today! I’m already loving it. Very comfortable and you can’t tell I am packing!”

Nouvelle Inc. is already an established leader in the post surgical compression wear industry. The Virginia Beach-based design and manufacturing company creates durable medical grade garments for use by plastic surgery patients, burn victims, and more. The Covert Compression line was developed using the same high standards as Nouvelle’s medical grade garments that have been trusted by patients and physicians for more than 12 years. All garments are formaldehyde free, made in the USA, and built to last:

*This statistic was taken from a report issued by the Crime Prevention Research Center. The report states that the actual number may be higher because the number of permit holders is not available for all states. New York is one of them. Additionally, the number of all Americans carrying concealed weapons is not included, as there are 5 states and parts of Montana where permits are not needed.

For almost two decades, the number of plastic surgeries involving the breasts has continued to rise, making the term “surgical bra” one of most frequent cosmetic procedure-related queries on the Internet. Patients who have undergone any type of breast surgery know that much care needs to be taken during the healing process to ensure positive results. The selection of an appropriate bra is critical to proper healing.

Nouvelle offers products to help speed healing from breast reduction surgery.

With close to 30 years experience in the medical garment industry, the design team at Nouvelle, Inc. has developed one of the most comprehensive selections of post surgical bras on the market. Its bras are carefully designed to protect and stabilize breasts following surgical procedures such as breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty), breast lift (mastopexy), breast implants (augmentation mammaplasty), mastectomy, and breast reconstruction following mastectomy. Each bra is designed to be worn 24 hours a day, seven days a week to ensure surgical sites, stitches, drains, etc. are comfortably protected and secure:

Bra Bands– Bra Bands are durable, flexible cotton bands that provide support and stability after having breast surgery. They can also been worn underneath your regular bra, but no an underwired bra. Ideal for the patient recovering from a breast lift (mastopexy).

Bras with Cups– Compression bras with cups are designed to provide compression and lift to the patient recovering from breast surgery. These bras have no underwiring and will enhance the results of a breast augmentation or mastectomy.

Bras with Sleeves– Bras with Sleeves are designed to provide compression in the upper torso and arms. They enhance the recovery of an armlift, liposuction, breast surgery or lymphedema.

Bras without Cups– Bras without cups provide maximum compression and stability with flat fronts. These bras are designed to offer complete support (vertically and laterally), protection, and enhance the patient’s ability to return to an active lifestyle.

Cotton Bras– Cotton bras are also made with flexible nylon to produce the optimal compression necessary for recovering from breast surgeries such as; breast implants, breast reconstructions, mastectomies, and mastopexies.

When I was a teenager my grandmother routinely sent me to the department store makeup counter for a special “anti-aging” serum. I am still astonished she paid nearly $80 for that tiny one-ounce vial 30 years ago, and by all accounts its simple ingredients did nothing to help diminish her wrinkles or fine lines.

RejuvaSil® Scar Gel

I am pleased to report that while my grandmother’s expensive lotion is no longer being manufactured, skincare research and technology has advanced to the point where products such as RejuvaSil®  and Rejuvaskin® not only WORK in the treatment of wrinkles and scars, they are more affordable. Nouvelle Inc. has long offered these products manufactured by ScarHeal as part of its ongoing commitment to quality skincare and superior results following cosmetic, plastic and aesthetic procedures. We continue to be impressed with the results of an outstanding combination of ingredients designed to help calm inflammation and tame overactive collagen production in scars resulting from surgery, trauma, burns, wounds, stretch marks, and keloids. Customers also report the Rejuvaskin® serum and eye creme is especially effective in diminishing the appearance of fine lines and dark circles beneath the eyes, as well as lessening the intensity of deeper facial wrinkles.

Nouvelle is proud to feature the addition of three new ScarHeal products to its extensive online catalog:

1. Rejuvaskin® Eye Cream

2. Rejuvaskin® Skin Serum

3. RejuvaSil® Scar Gel

Nouvelle is pleased to announce that women who opt to have buttocks augmentation using their own fat report a high degree of satisfaction with the results, according to a recent study by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

According to the ASPS, patients participating in the study underwent liposuction of the flanks, thighs, saddlebags, and sub-gluteal region, to harvest fat and provide additional contour and better definition to the buttocks. The harvested fat was then injected into the buttocks.

“We’ve seen this procedure grow in popularity over the years,” said Nouvelle Inc.’s president, Dawn Cover. Nouvelle manufactures specialty thong garments for patients recovering from buttocks augmentation via fat transfer, or gluteoplasty with autologous fat tissue. The thongs help protect the surgical site, reduce swelling, and speed healing. “Our custom thongs are highly specialized garments not readily available to patients undergoing this type of procedure,” explained Cover. “While they cannot be found in retail establishments, we are able to ship them quickly to individual patients as well as surgical practices and medical supply companies wishing to distribute and sell the thongs.”

Nouvelle currently offers two garments for use following buttocks augmentation procedures:

1. Abdomen Contour Thong: The abdomen contour thong provides superior medical-grade compression to support healing tissue where needed, and open, gentle protection of the buttocks to preserve sensitive contours and new curves following the Brazilian butt lift (buttocks augmentation). This exclusive new design is the ultimate compression garment for women recovering from aesthetic procedures such as Brazilian butt lift (buttocks augmentation), tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), hernia operations, and a variety of liposuction procedures.

2. Full Body Thong: The full body thong is the ultimate medical-grade garment for women recovering from multiple cosmetic procedures: Brazilian butt lift (buttocks augmentation, butt lift), body lift (belt lipectomy), tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty), breast augmentation (augmentation mammaplasty), breast reconstruction following mastectomy, gastric bypass and a variety of liposuction procedures: stomach liposuction, lipoplasty, suction lipectomy and liposculpture. This compression suit ensures complete coverage of the breast area, abdominals, back, flanks, and abdomen.

“Sales of our bras are consistently strong and certainly reflect national statistics,” notes Dawn Cover, president of Nouvelle Compression Wear. “Based on demand in the United States and abroad, we’ve fine-tuned our bra line to represent the very best in comfort, fast healing results, and quality construction.”

Breast reduction surgeries continue to be one of the most frequently performed plastic surgery procedures, and new evidence released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) this month indicates what the post-surgical garment experts at Nouvelle have long believed to be true: that the health benefits of this particular surgery are even more far-reaching than previously reported.

Nouvelle offers products to help speed healing from breast reduction surgery.

“One of the core philosophies of our business has its roots in the belief that powerful transformations have exponential benefits in all areas of one’s life, notes Dawn Cover, president of Nouvelle Inc. “We take very seriously our role in developing post-surgical garments that are conducive to the best possible outcomes. Our goal is to help patients achieve their best state of health and healing as quickly as possible following surgery.”

As reported in the August 2013 issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the ASPS, breast reduction surgery produces measurable improvements in several areas of health and quality of life. The study used the BREAST-Q© questionnaire to document the physical and psychosocial health benefits of breast reduction surgery. Benefits of the procedure as revealed in the study include:

~Pain reduction in the breast, neck, back and shoulders

~Improvements in physical and psychosocial well-being

~Significant improvements in sleep and ability to exercise

Nouvelle is pleased to introduce Convertible Compression Arm Sleeves to its growing line of healing garments for use following plastic and cosmetic surgery.

“The technologies and options for women undergoing armlift and brachioplasty procedures are changing rapidly, and we are pleased to offer an array of products to comfortably enhance surgical results,” said Dawn Cover, president of Nouvelle, Inc.

Nouvelle has emerged in recent years as one of the world’s leading providers of post-surgical compression wear. The company maintains an intense focus on garments constructed with safe, USA-derived fabrics with a comfortable, unique softness designed to speed healing following any plastic or reconstructive surgery.

The recent addition of the Convertible Compression Arm Sleeves coincides with data released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons indicating arm lifts in women have increased more than 4,000 percent over the past decade. Nouvelle currently offers five custom designs for arm sleeves, which are used for support and compression from arm surgery (brachioplasty), breast augmentation, and liposuction. These garments also help prevent extreme, hypertrophic scarring in the event of severe, skin damaging burns. They provide excellent relief for symptoms associated with lymphedema, such as fluid retention and tissue swelling.

COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW: CONVERTIBLE COMPRESSION ARM SLEEVES

Product Description
Lightweight, yet powerful support distinguish the convertible compression arm sleeves. Constructed of soothing, reinforced Nylon/Lycra®, this specialty garment is recommended for proper healing following surgical procedures involving the arms. Compression sleeves offer complete, breathable coverage of the shoulders and back. Velcro front closure ensures ease of use. Available in white.

Common post-surgical uses
Arm sleeves are ideal for use during recovery from arm procedures such as brachioplasty or liposuction.

Additional Medical Benefits
Compression garments also help prevent extreme, hypertrophic scarring in the event of severe, skin damaging burns. Excellent relief for symptoms associated with lymphedema, such as fluid retention and tissue swelling.

Flawlessly Fashioned
Nouvelle’s exclusive medical-grade designs cannot be found in retail stores. We proudly offer only latex-free products MADE IN THE USA. Our garments use a 55% Lycra®/45% nylon content for the smoothest, most comfortable feeling next to healing skin. This fabric combination ensures garments never lose compression integrity with continual use and appropriate laundering.

Detail Highlights
The difference between our products and mass-produced retail offerings is in the details. In an effort to minimize discomfort during post-operative healing stages, we carefully scrutinized every stitch, every panel, and every possible way the arm sleeves could help in the healing process. Most undergarments readily available through retail chains are simply not made with this level of care or quality. Three distinguishing characteristics:

1. Fabric structure. Featuring four-way stretch and memory, arm sleeves can withstand numerous washes, endure extremely long wear times, and miraculously retain original shape and quality. All designs have been through rigorous testing and meticulous scrutiny to ensure complete comfort and enhanced efficacy of every angle, seam and compression area.

2. Quality craftsmanship. Nouvelle designs have a reputation for superior craftsmanship. Our garments offer distinctly soft, silky textures so comfortable against sensitive surgical areas, you may be tempted to continue wearing them long after healing. We use only the finest fabric available, and hand-inspect each seam and stitch to ensure garments are soundly, solidly constructed.

3. Comfort. Realizing post-operative healing stages can be uncomfortable, we paid particular attention to every conceivable way our arm sleeves touch the skin. Stitches are constructed so they are perfectly flat, so as not to aggravate incisions. Hook-and-eye closure is never in danger of contacting the skin. Not a single design uses metal wires or stays.

Benefits
When applied correctly, compression wear can increase blood circulation around surgical areas to accelerate healing, diminish swelling, and flush out harmful fluids. In the event of sudden movements such as sneezing or coughing, the garments help protect and stabilize the surgical site, minimizing discomfort. The result is not only a shorter recovery time, but a cleaner surgical area with minimal scarring.

“As plastic and cosmetic surgeries become more prevalent worldwide, we expect the demand for our products to continue,” said Dawn Cover, president of Nouvelle, Inc. “This summer has been an especially busy one, and we have certainly seen a boost in sales of garments in our girdle line, which are designed for use following multiple surgeries such as abdominoplasty, liposuction, and more.”

Compression garments are specially designed elastic apparel worn after surgical procedures and throughout recovery. They provide additional support by contouring to the body or body part. Plastic surgeons generally recommend use of compression garments following tummy tucks (abdominoplasty), liposuction, arm lifts (brachioplasty), face lifts (rhytidectomy), facial procedures, gastric bypass procedures, male mastopexy (gynecomastia treatment), breast augmentation, breast reduction, and many other types of surgical sculpture procedures. Dermatologists also may recommend compression wear for patients with lymphoma, burns, and varicose veins to help improve quality of life.
