Rating: 4.9 (112 reviews)

At Novella Form & Facial, we use IPL (intense pulsed light) technology to restore clarity and balance to your skin, helping you look refreshed, confident, and more like you.

What Is IPL?

IPL, sometimes called a photofacial or phototherapy, uses broad-spectrum light energy to target and correct common skin concerns. The light penetrates the skin at different depths, breaking up pigmentation, calming redness, and stimulating collagen production. Because of its precise and gentle approach, this is achieved without damaging the surrounding tissue. The result is clearer, brighter, more even skin tone.

What Can Be Treated With IPL?

IPL is highly versatile and effective for a variety of concerns, including the following:

Sun damage and age spots
Uneven skin tone
Rosacea and facial redness
Broken capillaries and spider veins
Freckles and pigmentation changes

Unlike topical creams, IPL is a medical-grade treatment that works below the surface to address the root of discoloration and redness, providing you with natural, lasting improvement.

Am I a Candidate for IPL or Phototherapy?

Most adults who want to improve redness, pigmentation, or overall skin tone are good candidates for IPL in Charlotte at Novella Form & Facial. It may be right for you if you’re:

Struggling with sun damage or brown spots.
Seeing facial redness, flushing, or broken capillaries.
Wanting an effective, non-invasive treatment with little downtime.
Looking for a gradual, natural improvement in skin clarity.

During your consultation, our providers will examine your skin and discuss your goals to ensure IPL is the safest, most effective option for you.

The IPL Experience at Novella

Consultation

We begin with a detailed discussion of your skin concerns and goals, creating a personalized treatment plan that fits your vision.

Preparation

Your skin is cleansed, and protective eyewear is provided. No anesthesia is needed, though a cooling gel may be applied for comfort.

Treatment

The IPL device delivers gentle pulses of light across the skin. You may feel a quick “snap” sensation, similar to a rubber band. Treatments usually take 20–45 minutes, depending on the area.

Post-Treatment Care

Mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling can appear but usually fade within hours to a couple of days. Treated spots may darken temporarily before flaking away. Sun protection and gentle skincare are essential for the best results.

Enjoy Your IPL Results

Many patients notice brighter, more even skin within a week. You can look forward to continued, progressive improvement as pigmentation and redness continue to fade over several sessions. With proper sun care and maintenance, results can be enjoyed for months to years. Most patients see the best results with a series of 3–5 treatments, spaced about a month apart.

Cost of IPL Photofacial in Charlotte, NC

Final cost for IPL depends on whether the face or another area of concern is being treated, and the total number of sessions. At Novella, we believe in transparency; you’ll always know the investment and expected outcomes before beginning treatment. General pricing begins at $200 per IPL session.
