Melasma Treatment Sparkle MediSpa Moncton

Melasma is one of the most stubborn and challenging skin concerns to treat, but at Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa, we’re equipped with advanced technology, medical-grade skincare, and cutting-edge treatments to help you achieve brighter, more even-toned skin. Whether it’s pigmentation caused by hormones, sun exposure, or genetics, our personalized solutions, including PicoWay Resolve, targeted skincare, and PRP injections, can transform your skin and restore your confidence.

Let’s dive into the best melasma treatments we offer and how they work to target this persistent condition.

What is Melasma?

Melasma is a skin condition characterized by brown or grayish patches on the face, particularly the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. It’s often triggered by:

  • Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy, birth control)
  • Sun exposure
  • Genetics
  • Inflammation

While melasma can be stubborn, the right combination of treatments can significantly reduce its appearance and prevent it from returning.

1. PicoWay Resolve: The Gold Standard for Melasma Treatment

PicoWay Resolve is a game-changing laser treatment for melasma. Unlike traditional lasers, which can worsen pigmentation, PicoWay uses ultra-short picosecond pulses to break down excess melanin without damaging the surrounding skin.

How It Works:

  • The laser energy targets melanin (pigment) in the deeper layers of the skin.
  • The pigment is shattered into tiny particles, which are naturally eliminated by the body.
  • The treatment stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and radiance.

Why Choose PicoWay for Melasma?

  • Safe for all skin types, including darker complexions
  • Minimal to no downtime
  • Non-invasive with long-term results
  • Stimulates collagen for healthier skin overall

Most clients require 3–6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results. PicoWay Resolve is an excellent option for melasma because it targets pigment gently and effectively without causing inflammation.

2. Medical-Grade Skincare for Melasma

To maintain results and prevent melasma from returning, we combine laser treatments with medical-grade skincare. Our targeted approach includes the most effective active ingredients for treating pigmentation:

1. Hydroquinone

Hydroquinone is the gold-standard topical treatment for melasma. It works by inhibiting melanin production, lightening dark spots, and evening out skin tone.

  • Often used as part of a short-term regimen to fade stubborn melasma patches.

2. Vitamin A (Retinoids)

Retinoids accelerate cell turnover, helping to shed pigmented skin cells and reveal fresh, even-toned skin underneath. They also boost collagen production, improving skin texture over time.

3. Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that brightens the skin and prevents melanin production. It also protects the skin from further damage caused by UV exposure and free radicals.

  • Perfect for daily use to maintain results and promote skin radiance.

Our expert team will design a customized skincare routine using the right combination of hydroquinone, Vitamin A, and Vitamin C to target your melasma effectively while keeping your skin healthy.

3. PRP Injections for Melasma

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections are an innovative solution for melasma, especially for clients looking for a natural treatment. PRP is derived from your own blood and is packed with growth factors that promote healing, collagen production, and skin regeneration.

How PRP Helps Treat Melasma:

  • PRP injections stimulate your skin’s natural healing process, improving pigmentation and reducing inflammation.
  • Growth factors in PRP help revitalize the skin and promote a more even skin tone.

PRP injections are often combined with laser treatments and skincare for enhanced results, creating a holistic approach to tackling melasma.

Why a Combination Approach Works Best

Melasma can be stubborn because it often stems from multiple factors, such as hormones and sun exposure. At Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa, we take a multi-faceted approach to deliver long-lasting results:

  1. PicoWay Resolve: Breaks down excess pigment and stimulates collagen.
  2. Skincare Regimen: Targets melanin production with hydroquinone, Vitamin A, and Vitamin C.
  3. PRP Injections: Heals and regenerates the skin for an even, healthy tone.

By combining advanced technology, personalized skincare, and regenerative treatments, we can effectively treat melasma and help you maintain results for the long term.

What to Expect During Your Melasma Journey

  1. Consultation: We begin with a thorough skin analysis to determine the best treatment plan for your unique needs.
  2. Treatment Plan: Your customized plan may include PicoWay Resolve, medical-grade skincare, PRP injections, or a combination of these.
  3. Post-Treatment Care: We provide detailed instructions to help you care for your skin, including sun protection and ongoing skincare routines.

Tips to Prevent Melasma from Returning

While our treatments deliver fantastic results, preventing melasma is key to long-term success:

  • Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+) every day.
  • Avoid excessive sun exposure and wear hats or sunglasses.
  • Follow a consistent skincare routine with Vitamin C and gentle retinoids.
  • Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy lifestyle to reduce inflammation.
