When you come to Bella Vi, you can rest assured that your session will be comfortable—physically and mentally. Before we begin your session for intense pulsed light in Franklin, we’ll apply a topical numbing cream to minimize any discomfort. While you may feel warmth during your treatment, we’ll carefully monitor your responses and adjust the intensity as needed throughout the short process.
Compassionate Care for Natural Transformations.
We aren’t interested in overpowering the features that make you who you are, but rather in enhancing them. Our state-of-the-art IPL technologies allow our experienced practitioners to tailor your sessions around your goals—giving your skin the resources it needs to achieve them on its own.
By ramping up your skin's collagen and elastin production, which naturally declines over time, intense pulsed light strengthens your skin's internal framework and restores its elasticity. After every session, you'll continue to see improvements as those natural protein levels rise and get put to use.
Here, you're the star—period. We're here to help you rediscover your glow on your terms, and that means giving you the luxurious, relaxing spa experience to match our unparalleled hospitality and refined yet welcoming office.
We're thrilled to bring on the most revolutionary technologies as we're constantly raising the bar for our patients and other providers alike. We're not just bringing big city treatments to our hometown; we're giving you the power to use them however you see fit (without the big city price tags).
The Bella Vi Experience
Consultation
At Bella Vi, we never dive into treatment without sitting down for a one-on-one consultation. Here, we’ll take the time to get to know you and your skin, openly discussing your situation—from your budget to your skincare routine. Next, we’ll work together to build your personalized care plan. If we determine that IPL is your best option, we’ll walk you through our process and schedule your first session.
Treatment
When you arrive at your appointment for intense pulsed light in Franklin, your provider will lead you back to a private treatment room. After answering your questions, we’ll apply a topical numbing cream to the area and help you get comfortable in our luxurious treatment chair.
Once the area is numb, your provider will use our cutting-edge Lumecca IPL device to glide over the area, emitting flashes of light. Don’t worry—our licensed professionals will closely monitor your responses throughout this process to help ensure your mental and physical comfort.
Results
After your IPL treatment, your skin may appear slightly pink and swollen for the next few hours. This is temporary and part of the natural healing process, but we’ll provide a cool compress and detailed instructions to minimize any discomfort.
While many patients see some positive changes to their complexion over the following weeks, remember that we typically recommend a series of treatments to build on those results. Because IPL works by ramping up collagen production, your results will continue to improve even weeks after your last session.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, IPL is not a laser. IPL is powered by multiple wavelengths, while lasers use a single wavelength. This doesn’t make either better than the other, but rather more suitable for specific situations, as IPL is more gentle and customizable.
Botox is the most popular aesthetic treatment in the world for good reason! At Bella Vi, we’ve mastered the art and science behind seamless injections, using this wrinkle relaxer to prevent and relax wrinkles (and treat migraines, excessive sweating, and more).
However, this formula can’t address all of the concerns that intense pulsed light in Franklin can, including rosacea, scarring, and hyperpigmentation. So, while you may see faster, more dramatic wrinkle relief with Botox, it all comes down to what your goals are, which we’ll discuss during your consultation.
