How Tattoo Removal Works

Tattoo removal in Charlotte, NC, with the Pico Laser is a precise, non-invasive procedure. The laser emits ultra-short pulses of energy that penetrate the skin and fragment the ink particles in your tattoo. Your body’s immune system then gradually picks up and clears these fragments over the weeks following treatment. Pico Laser technology can address a wide range of ink colors and is effective on all skin types. The treatment minimizes the risk of scarring or skin damage, making it a safer and more comfortable option for tattoo removal.

Areas We Treat

Our laser tattoo removal in Charlotte is suitable for tattoos on almost any area of the body, including:

  • Arms and forearms
  • Back and chest
  • Legs and thighs
  • Neck and shoulders
  • Hands, wrists, and fingers

I had the BEST experience at Novella! The interior is absolutely to die for, and the staff is so welcoming and attentive. As soon as you enter, you feel pampered and relaxed. I had a facial from Bri, who was fantastic! She helped clear an acne spot and truly gave me a glow. She was extremely specific with my skin type and gave the best recommendations for next steps/skin care at home. The best facial ever. I will be making this a regular thing now. I love Novella!

Casey gives the most amazing facials. She takes the time to make sure all my skincare goals are discussed and addressed. She always gives the best advice when it comes to products, talking through my options to ensure I am using the best things specific to my skin. I was so excited to see Casey will be at this beautiful new med spa! If you don't have a facialist at Novella, I cannot recommend Casey enough!

I’ve experienced Novella on four separate occasions -- at an event, an injection consultation, over the phone, and for a wellness appointment. I felt welcomed, safe, and cared for each time. It’s quite the drive (45 mins), but definitely worth it because the ambiance is a sight to see and experience.

Absolutely an AMAZING team, experience, and location! This post is specifically about my experience with Casey and Allie. Casey got me started on my monthly facials, and I am completely addicted to how my skin feels and looks for days after! It’s an experience I look forward to every month, my time to be alone, to relax, and to be pampered. Casey is so cool, and her hands are MAGIC! I had a consult with Allie about fillers the same day I had my facial (just yesterday, see my photo for facial and filler details), and I felt so comfortable with her that I was willing and able to do the service that same day! She walked me through the process, held my hand, and gave me her number after, letting me know to contact her if I had any questions or concerns. She was so sweet and did a great job! Honestly, I could go on and on about the entire team here: Allison, the CEO, def knows what she’s doing when it comes to branding, experience, services, and staffing. I am so happy with the results! Thank you for everything, Novella!!!

I met with Allie for a consultation, and my experience from the moment I walked into Novella was EXCEPTIONAL. I got a tour of the spa, and everyone explained the process. Allie took her time to evaluate my skin and gave her honest opinion. I have my next appointment for a facial treatment, and I cannot wait! Highly recommend!

Novella offers me a peaceful, relaxing escape from the busyness of everyday life. I'd never had a facial prior to Novella that hadn't left my skin in shambles & broken out. You can tell that Novella took the time to find the ~best of the best~ aestheticians & injectors. I saw Casey for my facial & I saw Allie for my injections. I could not recommend Novella & their services more!!!

The level of luxury I experienced at Novella was unreal, as someone who’s suffered with rosacea for years, I’ve always avoided facials because I usually leave flared up and frustrated. The magic that was worked on my face had me leaving with skin that was more calm and even-toned than I’d seen in years. Everyone was so wonderful and welcoming, and I truly felt like an absolute VIP the entire time there, even though I literally just got a facial. They also recommended two products (not a hard-to-follow wild skin care routine that I will never use) to help recreate the calmness in my skin that I saw during my facial. My esthetician shared that she also struggles with rosacea, so I knew I was right at home. I drive 40 minutes to come here because there’s nothing else like it. From experience to treatment, it’s truly exceptional.

I've had May 17th on my calendar like it's Christmas Day. I almost made an Advent calendar for myself, that's how excited I am for Novella Form & Facial to open. I've been a Patient of Allie's for 6 years and trust her implicitly. She has assembled an amazing team with the same knowledge and skills she possesses, and I love seeing Bri, Casey, and Taylor as well! One specific note on my latest procedure, I had Pixel8 and Erbium combo. For someone like me who sees Patients daily and cannot afford any downtime, this one is a game-changer!! Sunburned, look after the procedure and back in meetings the next morning. Pic is only 24 hrs after Pixel8 laser combo!! I love microneedling, but I've found my new skin care maintenance/routine!
