The Skin Institute at Skin Cancer & Dermatology Institute is excited to announce the expansion of its Cosmetic Dermatology services from its current location on Warren Way to a brand-new space at Lakeside Crossing, just across the street. This relocation is part of our ongoing commitment to exceptional patient care and best-in-class Aesthetic services in an elevated, state-of-the-art environment.
“We’ve thoughtfully designed the new space to elevate the entire aesthetic experience,” says Dr. Whitney Hovenic, Board-Certified Dermatologist. “From the moment you walk in, we want you to feel cared for – with the same trusted team and leading Cosmetic Dermatology treatments you’ve come to expect from us.”
Our new location, set to open in the Fall of 2025, will continue to offer the full range of Cosmetic Dermatology services our patients have come to know and trust. Our acclaimed team of Cosmetic Dermatology Providers and Advanced Licensed Aestheticians remains the same, offering clinically advanced skin rejuvenation and injectable treatments, all in a beautiful, modern space created to elevate your Aesthetic Dermatology experience.

A Spotlight on ellacor®: Next-Level Skin Rejuvenation
As we prepare to relocate, we’d also like to highlight one of the most exciting advancements in our Cosmetic Dermatology offerings: ellacor. The Skin Institute is proud to be the first Dermatology Practice in the Reno-Tahoe area to offer this innovative treatment.
“Ellacor is unlike anything we’ve had before. It’s the first real alternative to surgical skin tightening, and it’s changing the game for our patients,” explains Dr. Hovenic. “You get noticeable results without the extended downtime of surgery or the risks of laser heat.”
What Is ellacor?
Ellacor is an FDA-cleared aesthetic device that uses micro-coring technology to remove tiny columns of skin, smaller than a human hair, to stimulate natural tightening and rejuvenation. Unlike lasers or microneedling, it doesn’t rely on heat, minimizing the risk of pigmentation changes or scarring.
During treatment, the device gently removes micro-cores of skin and stimulates the body’s natural healing response, leading to firmer, smoother skin over time. Combined with exosomes, this innovative treatment treats skin laxity and improves skin texture and tone.
Why Patients Love ellacor
- Minimally invasive and non-surgical
- No heat – ideal for sensitive skin
- Subtle, natural-looking improvements
- Long-lasting firming and smoothing effects
Ellacor is FDA-cleared for adults 22 and older with Fitzpatrick skin types I–IV and is especially effective for treating wrinkles and skin laxity in the cheeks, jawline, and around the mouth.
Is ellacor right for you?
