In short: Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa offers PicoWay laser rejuvenation in Moncton and Dieppe for selected pigmentation, sun spots, melasma-prone skin planning, acne scars, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, enlarged-looking pores, texture, dullness, and tattoo-related concerns. PicoWay uses ultra-short picosecond pulses; PicoWay Resolve may be used for texture and acne-scar goals. Sessions are often about 20–30 minutes, with recovery that may include pinkness, pigment darkening, flaking, sensitivity, or 24–48 hours of tightness depending on settings.
What It Is
PicoWay is a picosecond laser platform for pigment, texture, scars, and tattoos — depending on settings.
PicoWay delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses that can produce photoacoustic and thermal effects. Depending on the wavelength, handpiece and settings, this may help fragment selected pigment or create controlled tissue effects for skin-remodelling goals.
For texture and acne scars, PicoWay Resolve creates controlled microscopic treatment zones below the skin. For pigment, PicoWay settings are selected based on pigment type, depth, skin tone, melasma risk, and treatment history.
Pigmentation
May help selected sun spots, freckles, uneven tone, and post-inflammatory pigment.
Melasma-prone skin
Requires careful candidacy, conservative planning, skincare, and SPF.
Acne scars + texture
PicoWay Resolve may support texture and collagen remodeling.
Tattoo removal
PicoWay can also be used for unwanted ink with a dedicated tattoo-removal plan.
Why Clients Ask for It
A more precise option for pigment-aware skin rejuvenation.
Less heat-focused
Picosecond pulses use very short energy delivery. This changes how energy interacts with pigment and tissue, but it does not eliminate heat, inflammation or pigment risk.
Pigment planning
May be considered for selected pigmentation and melasma-prone clients after assessment.
Texture support
PicoWay Resolve may support acne-scar and skin texture treatment goals.
Custom settings
Wavelength, fluence, handpiece, and spacing are selected for your skin and concern.
Before & After
PicoWay laser before and after.
Before and after images are for educational purposes only and do not guarantee your outcome. Results vary by pigment type, scar type, tattoo ink, skin tone, settings, number of sessions, aftercare, and maintenance.
Candidacy
PicoWay is customizable, but not automatic.
A good laser plan depends on pigment type, melasma history, skin tone, recent sun exposure, acne activity, medications, skin barrier, treatment history, and willingness to follow aftercare. No laser should be described as automatically appropriate for every skin tone or every pigmentation concern.
May be a fit
Sun spots, freckles, uneven tone, post-inflammatory pigment, acne scars, enlarged-looking pores, dullness, or tattoos.
Needs caution
Melasma, darker skin tones, recent tanning, active acne, pigment history, or sensitivity to inflammation.
May not be a fit
Pregnancy, active infection, certain medications, recent aggressive procedures, poor healing, or unrealistic expectations.
Consultation first
We assess risk, settings, number of sessions, aftercare, and whether another treatment is more appropriate.
The Sparkle Process
Your treatment is planned around your pigment risk.
01
Deep-dive consultation
We assess your skin tone, pigment type, scarring pattern, sun history, melasma risk, and previous treatments.
02
Treatment session
Treatment time varies by the concern, treatment area and settings. Sensation may feel warm, snappy, prickly or tingling.
03
Immediate aftermath
Skin may look pink or flushed. Pigmented spots may temporarily darken before fading or flaking.
04
Results + recovery
Redness, tightness, dryness or sensitivity may occur after treatment. The intensity and duration depend on the handpiece, settings, treatment area and individual response.
Results Timeline
Pigment and texture improve on different timelines.
Pigment may darken first, then flake or fade over days to weeks. Texture, acne scarring, and collagen-focused changes usually build more gradually over weeks to months. Tattoo removal requires a separate series-based plan.
Same day
Pinkness, flushing, warmth, swelling, or tightness may occur.
Days to weeks
Pigment may darken before gradually fading or flaking.
Weeks to months
Texture and collagen-focused improvement can build gradually.
Series-based
Many pigment, scar and tattoo plans involve more than one session, but the number and spacing vary substantially by diagnosis, treatment goal and response.
Why Sparkle
With PicoWay, the provider matters as much as the platform.
PicoWay can be a powerful tool, but pigment and melasma-prone skin require restraint, technical knowledge, and honest planning. Sparkle’s founder has a professional background in Candela laser education. Treatment plans are built around skin biology, candidacy, risk and realistic expectations.
Candela education
Sparkle’s founder has a professional background in Candela laser education and clinical training.
Pigment-aware care
We consider melasma, PIH risk, skin tone, sun habits, and barrier health.
Custom game plans
Wavelength, settings, handpiece, spacing, skincare, and SPF are planned together.
Realistic expectations
We explain what laser can support, what it cannot guarantee, and what maintenance may require.
Before Treatment
- Avoid tanning, sunburn, and unprotected sun exposure before treatment.
- Tell us about melasma, pigment changes, medications, pregnancy, cold sores, recent procedures, acne flares, and skin sensitivity.
- Pause retinoids, acids, exfoliants, or active skincare only as directed.
- Arrive with clean skin and no self-tanner on the area.
Aftercare
- Use gentle skincare and SPF as directed.
- Avoid heat, aggressive skincare, picking, exfoliation, and unprotected sun exposure while healing.
- Expect possible redness, tightness, dryness, sensitivity, flaking, or temporary pigment darkening.
- Contact the clinic if you notice blistering, worsening pain, infection signs, pigment changes, or anything concerning.
Risks & Safety
PicoWay is advanced, but it is still a laser treatment.
Possible effects include redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, dryness, flaking, crusting, blistering, burns, acne flare, cold sore flare, infection, pigment darkening, pigment lightening, melasma flare, scarring, under-response, or unsatisfactory results. Risks can be reduced with proper assessment, conservative settings, and aftercare, but they cannot be eliminated.
Important: Melasma and pigmentation require long-term maintenance, sun protection, skincare, and careful treatment planning. Laser alone is not a cure for melasma, acne scarring, pigmentation, or aging.
