In short: Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa offers PicoWay Resolve laser skin resurfacing in Moncton and Dieppe for acne scars, uneven texture, enlarged-looking pores, pigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, dullness, melasma-prone skin, and non-ablative skin rejuvenation. Treatments start at $650 per session, and many clients benefit from a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart depending on goals and skin response.

How It Works

PicoWay Resolve uses ultra-short laser pulses for fractional, non-ablative skin rejuvenation.

PicoWay Resolve uses picosecond pulses to deliver laser energy in extremely short bursts. The Resolve handpiece creates a fractional treatment pattern that can support collagen renewal and texture refinement while the PicoWay platform can also be used for pigment-focused treatment planning.

Because pigment, scars, pores, fine lines, melasma-prone skin, and sun damage do not all need the same settings, Sparkle plans PicoWay treatments around assessment — not guesswork.

Picosecond energy

Ultra-short pulses help target pigment and support skin rejuvenation with less heat than some traditional approaches.

Fractional Resolve

Fractional delivery may support collagen renewal, texture refinement, pores, and acne scar treatment planning.

Zoom handpiece

The Zoom handpiece can be used for more targeted pigment or spot treatment planning when appropriate.

Why this matters: PicoWay Resolve is strongest when it is used as part of a real skin strategy — settings, spacing, skincare, sun protection, and combination planning all affect the outcome.

The Sparkle Process

A skin plan before a laser setting.

01

Consultation

We assess skin tone, texture, scar type, pigment risk, sensitivity, current skincare, sun exposure, and goals.

02

Treatment plan

We decide whether PicoWay Resolve, Zoom, another laser, RF microneedling, peels, or a combined plan fits best.

03

Laser session

Treatment usually feels like quick snaps or prickles. Settings are selected based on your skin and goals.

04

Recovery + series

We review aftercare, SPF, downtime, spacing, and when your next session should happen.

PicoWay Resolve vs. Other Lasers

PicoWay Resolve is not the same as CO2, IPL, Frax, or RF microneedling.

The best treatment depends on what we are trying to improve. PicoWay Resolve is often chosen when we want non-ablative texture support, collagen stimulation, acne scar refinement, or pigment-focused planning with a lower-heat approach than some resurfacing options.

PicoWay Resolve

Often chosen for texture, pores, acne scars, pigment, fine lines, and non-ablative skin rejuvenation.

CO2RE

Ablative resurfacing option for stronger resurfacing goals, usually with more downtime and recovery planning.

Nordlys IPL/Frax

IPL may target redness and pigment; Frax may support texture and collagen. Best choice depends on skin assessment.

RF Microneedling

Often used for scars, texture, pores, and collagen support, especially when heat-based laser may not be the first choice.

Candidacy

Who is PicoWay Resolve best for?

PicoWay Resolve may be a good option for clients who want improvement in tone, texture, acne scars, pores, pigment, or aging skin without choosing a more aggressive ablative laser first. Candidacy depends on consultation, pigment risk, skincare, and expectations.

May be a fit

Acne scars, uneven texture, enlarged-looking pores, dullness, pigment, sun damage, fine lines, and collagen goals.

Needs caution

Melasma-prone skin, recent sun exposure, darker skin types, photosensitivity, compromised barrier, or keloid history require careful planning.

May not be a fit

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, active infection, certain medications, recent isotretinoin use, or uncontrolled skin conditions may delay treatment.

Consultation first

Your provider decides whether PicoWay Resolve, another laser, or a combination plan is most appropriate.

Common Concerns

PicoWay Resolve may support texture, tone, scars, and collagen-focused aging concerns.

Acne Scars

May support texture improvement and scar refinement through collagen-focused treatment planning.

Pigmentation

May target freckles, sun damage, and selected pigment concerns with careful skin typing.

Fine Lines

May support collagen renewal and smoother-looking texture over a series.

Pores + Texture

May improve the look of enlarged pores, roughness, and uneven skin quality.

Melasma-Prone Skin

Requires cautious planning because pigment can worsen with heat, inflammation, or sun exposure.

Anti-Aging Refresh

May be part of a larger plan with skincare, peels, PRP, RF microneedling, or injectables.

Individual results vary. Pigmentation, acne scarring, pores, texture, and fine lines respond differently, and some clients need a series or combination plan.

After 1 session

Some clients notice brighter, fresher-looking skin once redness settles.

3–4 sessions

Texture, tone, scars, and pigment may show more noticeable improvement through a series.

8–12 weeks

Collagen-focused changes often continue to develop gradually over time.

Maintenance

SPF, skincare, and periodic maintenance can help support long-term skin quality.

Pre-Care · Post-Care · What to Expect

How to prepare for PicoWay Resolve — and how to care for your skin after.

PicoWay Resolve is a non-ablative picosecond laser treatment, but your skin still needs the right prep and aftercare. Good pre-care helps reduce irritation and pigment risk. Good post-care supports healing, protects your barrier, and helps your results develop more predictably.

Before your treatment

  • Avoid tanning, sunburns, self-tanner, and unprotected sun exposure before treatment.
  • Tell us about medications, photosensitivity, melasma, pigment history, cold sores, recent procedures, pregnancy, breastfeeding, isotretinoin use, or skin conditions.
  • Pause retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, exfoliants, benzoyl peroxide, or other active products only as directed by your provider.
  • Arrive with clean skin: no makeup, oils, heavy creams, or irritating skincare on the treatment area.

Day of treatment

  • Your provider will review your skin, goals, recent sun exposure, skincare, and contraindications before treating.
  • The treatment can feel like quick snaps, prickles, heat, or mild stinging depending on the area and settings.
  • Redness, warmth, swelling, sensitivity, or a flushed feeling can happen immediately after treatment.
  • Your provider will review your exact aftercare, product plan, SPF expectations, and when to schedule your next session.

Aftercare

  • Keep skin clean, hydrated, and protected with a gentle cleanser, fragrance-free moisturizer, and SPF 30+ or higher.
  • Use cool compresses for the first 24-48 hours if the skin feels warm, swollen, or uncomfortable.
  • Avoid heat, hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, intense workouts, exfoliants, retinoids, and direct sun exposure as directed.
  • Do not scrub, pick, exfoliate, or peel dryness, rough texture, or pinpoint crusting if it occurs.

Immediately after

Redness, warmth, swelling, tenderness, or a sunburn-like feeling can be normal. Skin may look flushed or slightly bumpy depending on settings.

First few days

Dryness, sensitivity, mild swelling, rough or sandpaper-like texture, pinpoint crusting, or temporary darkening of pigment may happen.

1-2 weeks

Skin often starts to look calmer and brighter. Pigment and texture changes may be subtle at first and build over a treatment series.

8-12 weeks

Collagen-focused improvement can continue gradually. Acne scars, pores, fine lines, and texture usually need a series for more visible change.

When to contact Sparkle

Contact us if you notice increased redness, significant swelling, pus, severe pain, blistering, open areas, signs of infection, pigment changes that concern you, or any reaction that feels unusual for your skin. If symptoms feel urgent or severe, seek medical care immediately.

Usually, retinoids and exfoliating acids are paused before and after laser treatment, but timing depends on your skin, product strength, treatment intensity, and provider instructions. Do not restart active skincare until your skin barrier feels calm and your provider says it is appropriate.

Your provider will give you specific instructions. In general, it is best to keep the skin clean and avoid makeup until redness, warmth, and sensitivity have settled, especially if there is dryness, crusting, or barrier irritation.

Sun protection is critical after PicoWay Resolve. Avoid direct sun exposure while the skin is healing and use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily. Pigment-prone or melasma-prone skin may need stricter sun avoidance and a longer pigment-control plan.

Some clients experience dryness, roughness, or a sandpaper-like texture for a few days. Do not scrub, pick, or force exfoliation. Keep the skin hydrated and follow your provider’s product instructions.

Aftercare helps protect the skin barrier, reduce irritation, limit pigment risk, and support a smoother recovery. Skipping SPF, using active products too soon, overheating the skin, or picking at dryness can affect healing and results.

These instructions are general. Your provider may adjust pre-care and aftercare based on your skin type, settings used, pigment risk, medical history, and treatment plan.

Risks & Safety

Laser resurfacing should be planned carefully — especially with pigment-prone skin.

PicoWay Resolve can cause redness, swelling, warmth, dryness, sensitivity, rough texture, pinpoint crusting, acne flare, pigment darkening, pigment lightening, blistering, burns, scarring, or unsatisfactory results. Risks can be reduced with proper consultation, conservative settings, pre-care, aftercare, and trained providers, but they cannot be eliminated.

Important: Tell your provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active infection, recent tanning, melasma, keloid history, photosensitivity, recent isotretinoin use, or a compromised skin barrier before treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

PicoWay Resolve questions, answered.

Clear answers for clients considering PicoWay Resolve laser skin resurfacing in Moncton, Dieppe, and Riverview.

Book Skin Consultation

PicoWay Resolve is a fractional picosecond laser treatment used for non-ablative skin resurfacing and rejuvenation. It delivers ultra-short pulses of laser energy to create targeted micro-injuries below the surface of the skin, supporting collagen renewal, texture refinement, and pigment-focused treatment planning.

PicoWay Resolve uses picosecond laser pulses, meaning the energy is delivered in extremely short bursts. This can help target pigment and stimulate a healing response while reducing excess heat compared with some traditional resurfacing approaches. Your provider selects settings based on your skin type, concern, and goals.

PicoWay Resolve may support concerns such as acne scarring, uneven texture, enlarged-looking pores, fine lines, sun damage, pigmentation, freckles, melasma-prone skin, dullness, and overall skin rejuvenation. Results vary and some concerns require a series or combination plan.

PicoWay Resolve may be used as part of an acne scar treatment plan, especially for texture irregularities and certain post-acne pigment concerns. Deeper or more complex scars may need a series, RF microneedling, CO2RE, Frax, peels, PRP, or a combination approach.

PicoWay Resolve may be selected for pigment concerns, sun damage, freckles, and uneven tone. Melasma-prone skin requires extra caution because heat, inflammation, and sun exposure can worsen pigment in some clients.

No laser treatment should be described as automatically planned carefully for each skin tone. PicoWay’s picosecond technology can be useful for a wider range of skin types when settings are selected carefully, but candidacy, pigment risk, pre-care, aftercare, and provider experience matter.

Many clients benefit from a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, but the exact number depends on the concern, skin type, response, downtime tolerance, and treatment goals. Acne scarring and pigmentation may require additional sessions.

Some clients notice brighter, fresher-looking skin after one treatment. Collagen-focused changes and scar or texture improvement usually build gradually over 8 to 12 weeks and may continue improving through a treatment series.

Downtime varies. You may experience temporary redness, swelling, warmth, dryness, sensitivity, pinpoint crusting, or a sandpaper-like texture for a few days. Your provider will review what to expect based on the settings used and your skin response.

Clients often describe the sensation as quick snaps or prickles on the skin. Comfort varies by area, settings, and individual sensitivity. Numbing may be discussed when appropriate.

PicoWay Resolve treatments start at $650 per session. Many clients invest approximately $1,200 to $2,500 for a treatment series depending on the area treated, number of sessions, and goals. Pricing is confirmed during consultation.

Yes. PicoWay Resolve may be combined strategically with medical facials, chemical peels, PRP, microneedling, RF microneedling, skincare, or other skin treatments depending on timing and skin tolerance. The sequence matters and should be guided by your provider.

Sparkle uses PicoWay Resolve and Zoom handpieces as part of a broader skin and laser platform. Treatment planning considers laser physics, skin type, pigment risk, acne scar type, collagen goals, downtime, medical oversight, and whether a single-device or combination plan is more appropriate.
