What Can Lasers Do for Your Skin?
Laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. What does that mean for you? Lasers use a focused beam of light with a precise color or wavelength to target a specific area of the skin while leaving the skin around it unharmed. Different wavelengths are absorbed by different targets in the skin, which are converted into heat energy when they hit the target. For example, blood absorbs yellow light wavelengths, which would be used for skin redness concerns.
Laser Therapy skin treatments use high-energy sources to regenerate and repair damaged skin. Laser treatments are an effective way to treat wrinkles, scars, skin blemishes, blood vessels, pigmentation concerns, and hair removal, depending on the type of laser used.
Lasers We Offer at The Skin Institute in the Reno-Tahoe Area and What They Do
- Clear + Brilliant: A gentle, no-downtime fractionated resurfacing laser that refreshes your skin from the inside out by replacing damaged skin with healthy, younger-looking tissue. It helps with fine lines and wrinkles, reduces pore size, and improves skin texture.
-
EMFACE®: This non-invasive facial treatment uses radiofrequency and high-intensity facial electrical stimulation (HIFES™) to tighten and tone the face, with a treatment session lasting about 20 minutes. The procedure is designed to reduce the need for needles or downtime. Clinical studies suggest a total of 4 treatments, each a week apart. With 4 treatments, you can expect 37% fewer wrinkles, a 30% increase in facial muscle tone, and 23% more lift.
- EXION®: While not a laser, EXION is a revolutionary all-in-one skin rejuvenation system that reduces wrinkles and fine lines, tightens and firms sagging skin, improves skin texture and tone, as well as targeting stubborn fat areas. EXION delivers personalized treatments for the face, body, and intimate areas, giving visible results with minimal discomfort.
-
Fraxel® Dual: A non-ablative fractional laser uses microscopic laser columns to penetrate the skin. Its two different wavelengths (1550/1927) can be used separately or together to stimulate collagen production. It treats sun damage, aging skin, wrinkles, actinic keratosis, melasma, and acne scars.
-
Fraxel® Repair: A fractional CO2 laser that penetrates deep into the skin to remove old, damaged skin cells. The body’s healing process is stimulated, which replaces the cells with fresh, glowing, healthy skin.
-
Quanta Evo Light™ 4V: This EVO Light 4V combines the functionality of multiple individual lasers, including IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), into one. This allows it to be versatile in treating different conditions, such as eliminating blood vessels and sunspots, reducing redness, minimizing the appearance of scars, and reducing unwanted hair.
-
Sciton®BBL™: Technically not a laser, the Sciton BBL uses broadband light that targets uneven pigment concerns like freckles, age spots, small facial veins, and rosacea. It also improves fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Sciton® BBL™ for Acne: An FDA-approved treatment that utilizes light filters to eliminate acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation and acne-associated redness to promote healthy, luminous skin.
-
Sciton® Microlaserpeel®: The Microlaserpeel removes a thin layer of damaged skin to improve texture and provide a youthful appearance. It treats wrinkles, scars, keratosis, sun damage, and pigment irregularities.
-
Sciton® Contour TRL™: The Contour TRL or Tunable Resurfacing Laser combines radiofrequency and ultrasound energy to tighten and tone superficial or deeply troubled areas.
-
Spectrum: A multifunctional laser with a Diode laser for hair removal; an Intense Pulse Light (IPL) for acne reduction, pigmented lesion removal, and vascular reduction; a Long Pulsed Yag laser for vascular lesions; an Erbium Yag laser for skin resurfacing, and a Q-switched Yag laser that uses dual wavelengths used for tattoo removal.
-
Vbeam Prima®: This targeted FDA-cleared laser therapy improves skin appearance and texture. It treats various conditions, including redness, acne, rosacea, venous lakes, poikiloderma, port wine stains, and spider veins.

DiamondGlow®
DiamondGlow is a cutting-edge skin care treatment that uses diamond-tipped exfoliation to refresh and revitalize the skin. This non-invasive procedure improves skin texture, minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, and reveals a radiant complexion. Its three-step process—exfoliation, extraction, and infusion—utilizes SkinMedica® Pro-Infusion serums tailored to your skin type and goals. By gently removing the outer layer of dead skin cells and debris, DiamondGlow enhances skin care absorption and stimulates collagen production.
The patented wand, featuring diamond tips of varying shapes and sizes, allows our Cosmetic Specialists to customize the exfoliation level to meet your unique needs. While the diamond tip exfoliates, a gentle vacuum promotes lymphatic drainage and detoxifies the skin. Targeted serums address hydration, wrinkles, and discoloration, leaving your skin smoother, refreshed, and rejuvenated. You’ll notice a more youthful and vibrant complexion immediately after the treatment.
What is HydraFacial?
HydraFacial is a gentle, non-invasive, virtually painless, medical-grade treatment that uses a vortex swirling action to remove dead skin, dirt, debris, and impurities while hydrating and soothing your skin. Its patented technology includes three steps:
- Cleanse and peel –uncover a new layer of skin with gentle exfoliation and relaxing resurfacing.
- Extract and hydrate – a strong, painless vacuum suction safely removes debris, blackheads, and impurities from pores while hydrating your skin simultaneously.
- Fuse and protect – this part of the treatment infuses serums explicitly selected for your skin type and skin care goals to maximize your glow.
The Signature HydraFacial treatment option takes only 30 minutes, making it convenient for most people’s schedules. It has been shown to help with various skin issues, such as reducing fine lines and wrinkles, lightening dark spots and patches, cleaning clogged pores, reducing enlarged pores, clearing up mild acne, refining skin texture, and improving elasticity and firmness.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is an exfoliation procedure that uses a special surgical blade to slough away the top layer of the epidermis gently. After removing dead skin cells, your skin is left smooth and vibrant. A dermaplaning facial is ideal for anyone interested in removing vellus facial hair (peach fuzz), which can trap excess dirt and oil.
A safe and effective treatment for patients who are at risk of chemical absorption, such as those who are pregnant, nursing, or experiencing other health conditions. Enjoy dermaplaning as a stand-alone treatment or ask about the benefits of an add-on treatment where we combine dermaplaning with a HydraFacial to help the smooth texture, decongest pores, and hydrate your skin.
March Specials are valid from March 1 – 31, 2025. To take advantage of these specials, go to our specials page, book an appointment online, or call 775.507.4884 to schedule your consultation.
