SINGAPORE, Nov. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — NOVU Medical Aesthetic Clinic ("NOVU"), a trailblazing medical aesthetics brand that disrupted convention to deliver fast, effective and affordable skincare solutions for everyone, gets its regional expansion lauded by the Association of Small & Medium Enterprises through its Singapore Prestige Brand Award 2019.
NOVU is the flagship brand of Novena Global Lifecare’s network of over 250 clinics in 20 cities. NOVU’s latest and fourth win ushers it into the SPBA’s Hall of Fame, which is reserved for outstanding local brands that have won multiple SPBA accolades.
"It’s truly an honour to be inducted into SPBA’s Hall of Fame as it is a recognition of our branding," says Lee Chai Hoon, NOVU’s Assistant Managing Director. "Our unique business proposition of bringing fast, effective and affordable skincare solutions to everyone, coupled with the NOVU vibrant brand personality, are key driving factors in our successful expansion overseas."
The Awards, which recognises and honours Singapore brands that have been developed and managed effectively through various branding initiatives, was inaugurated by the Association of Small & Medium Enterprises (ASME) and Chinese-language daily Lianhe Zaobao in 2002.
NOVU joins but 30 – out of a total of 473 past award winners in 18 years – in the SPBA’s Hall of Fame established 12 years ago. This year, it is a winner in the Regional Brands category.

About NOVU Founded on the fact that everyone deserves access to safe medical aesthetics, NOVU was founded in 2010 and introduced affordable laser treatments for the gamut of skincare issues – from pimples, pigmentation, scars, wrinkles, and fine lines to dull, tired and sagging skin.
It is the world’s first medical aesthetic chain to disrupt traditional conventions, creating an ecosystem of results-driven, low-fuss clinics. With the help of its trademark FastheticsTM system, NOVU introduces fast, safe and effective doctor-approved treatments tailored to meet the needs of men and women in today’s fast-paced lifestyle.
In Singapore, NOVU operates 9 clinics and has numerous points of sale for its clinically-approved skincare products island-wide. NOVU has over 500 points of sales for its clinical NOVU skincare and treatments. With over 8 million protocols done and delivered by qualified and accredited medical professionals, NOVU looks to be the world’s leading medical aesthetic platform that delivers amazing skincare experiences, leveraging on technology and design.
NOVU’s history Novena Global Lifecare co-founders Nelson and Terence Loh decided to delve into the medical and aesthetics business based on industry findings that pinpointed the high cost of aesthetic treatments, and that the industry was resistant to change in a rapidly digitalising world.
By integrating state-of-the-art technology from a KOSDAQ-listed Korean manufacturer with a global chain of medical aesthetics clinics, NOVU has been able to develop better and more cost-effective treatments, equipment and products. This integration keeps its prices competitive and is passed on as savings to NOVU’s patients. NOVU believes that this helps in growth opportunities as it keeps price points lower than its competitors which offer the same treatments.
Novena Global Lifecare Group is one of Asia’s largest integrated medical healthcare groups that focuses on aesthetics and healthcare businesses on a global scale.
