What can GentleMax Pro treat?

GentleMax Pro treats unwanted hair, vascular lesions (spider veins), and certain pigmented lesions. Your provider will recommend the right settings for your concern.

Is laser hair removal with GentleMax Pro painful?

Most clients describe mild stinging or snapping sensations. The device includes cooling to minimise discomfort; topical numbing can be used if needed.

How many sessions are needed for hair removal?

Multiple sessions are required because hair grows in cycles. Typical plans include 6–8 treatments spaced several weeks apart depending on the area and hair characteristics.

Who is a good candidate?

GentleMax Pro is suitable for many skin types, but candidacy and settings are determined during consultation. Some pigmentation/skin types require tailored approaches.

Are there side effects?

Temporary redness, swelling and slight sensitivity are common. Rare risks include pigment changes or blistering—your provider will discuss risk and aftercare.

How should I prepare for a session?

Avoid tanning and self-tanners for at least two weeks, shave the area as instructed, avoid exfoliating products and disclose medications or skin treatments to your provider.

Why Sparkle is Moncton’s Leader in Laser Technology

Choosing the right laser clinic is essential for both safety and results. Our founder, Madelaine, is a renowned Clinical Trainer for Candela Medical. She has personally trained over 110 clinics across North America on the safe and effective use of the GentleMax Pro®.

Consequently, when you choose Sparkle, you are being treated by the experts who teach the industry. We understand the complex physics of laser energy, ensuring your settings are perfectly customized for your unique skin and hair type.

What is the GentleMax Pro®?

The GentleMax Pro® is a premier dual-wavelength laser system. It combines the 755nm Alexandrite (ideal for lighter skin) and the 1064nm Nd:YAG (safe for deeper skin tones). Because of this versatility, we can safely treat Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI.

Fast & Efficient: Large spot sizes mean shorter appointment times.
Maximum Comfort: Integrated Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) protects the skin with a cooling cryogen spray.
Proven Results: Trusted worldwide for high-clearance rates in fewer sessions.

Versatile Solutions for Face and Body

The GentleMax Pro® is more than just a hair removal tool. At Sparkle, we use this technology to address a wide range of concerns:

1. Advanced Laser Hair Removal

Our system targets the pigment in the follicle to stop future growth. In addition to reducing hair, it effectively treats razor bumps and painful ingrown hairs on the face, bikini, legs, and back.

2. Pigmentation & Sun Spot Correction

We target age spots, freckles, and sun damage. The laser breaks down excess melanin, which then naturally flakes away, leaving your skin even-toned and bright.

3. Vascular Lesions & Rosacea

If you struggle with facial veins, broken capillaries, or spider veins, this laser can help. It collapses visible vessels on the face and chest to significantly reduce redness.

4. Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Stimulate collagen production for a clearer, more radiant complexion. This “laser refresh” is perfect for those seeking anti-aging benefits with minimal downtime.

Your Journey to Clearer Skin

First, we begin with a personalized consultation to assess your skin health and goals. Next, during your treatment, you may feel a light snapping sensation. However, the built-in cooling system ensures the process is well-tolerated.

As a result of our clinical expertise, most clients see significant improvement in just a few sessions:

Hair Removal: 6–8 sessions for optimal clearance.
Pigmentation: 1–3 sessions.
Vascular/Veins: 1–4 sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is laser hair removal safe for dark skin?

Absolutely. Using the 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength, we can safely treat medium to deep skin tones without damaging the surface of the skin. This is why the GentleMax Pro® is the gold standard for inclusivity.

Is there any downtime?

Downtime is minimal. Most clients return to work immediately. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise, hot tubs, and direct sun for at least 24–48 hours after your session.

Can I combine this with other treatments?

Yes. Many of our Moncton clients combine laser treatments with Chemical Peels or Microneedling to maximize their skin rejuvenation results. We will help you build a custom stack during your consultation.

How does GentleMax Pro hair removal work?

The laser targets the pigment within the hair follicle. The light energy heats and disables the follicle to prevent future growth—without damaging the surrounding skin. Over a series of treatments, hair becomes finer, lighter, and significantly reduced.

Does GentleMax Pro hair removal hurt?

Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap similar to a rubber band. The device includes Dynamic Cooling Technology (DCD), which sprays a burst of cooling cryogen before each pulse to make treatments more comfortable.

How many hair removal treatments do I need?

Most areas require 6–8 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart, depending on hair density, thickness, and growth cycles. Some clients may benefit from maintenance sessions once or twice per year.

What does GentleMax Pro treatment feel like for veins or pigmentation?

Vascular and pigment treatments may feel like brief warmth or snapping sensations. They are typically very tolerable, with most clients able to resume normal activities immediately afterward.

Is there downtime with GentleMax Pro treatments?

Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness or swelling for a few hours. Pigmentation may darken temporarily before naturally flaking off over several days. Vascular lesions may appear lighter immediately or fade gradually.

When will I see results?

Hair removal: Gradual improvement after each session, with significant reduction after 3–4 treatments.
Pigmentation: Dark spots often clear within 1–2 weeks.
Veins: Some reduce immediately; others fade over 2–6 weeks.
Full results depend on the concern being treated.

Is the GentleMax Pro safe?

Yes. The GentleMax Pro is a gold-standard laser system with built-in cooling and advanced safety features. At Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa, treatments are performed by trained technicians using precise, medical-grade settings tailored to your skin.

Chemical peels
Nordlys IPL
Frax resurfacing

Medical-grade facials
Combination therapies can greatly enhance clarity, texture, and overall skin rejuvenation.
