Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting teens and adults alike. From occasional breakouts to chronic inflammation, finding the right treatment can be life-changing. Reno Tahoe Dermatology offers advanced, dermatologist-recommended options to help patients achieve clearer, healthier skin.
We’re highlighting our top 3 acne treatments: AviClear, Excel V+, and the VI Peel. Each treatment is designed to target acne at its source and improve skin tone, texture, and confidence.
1. AviClear
AviClear is the first FDA-cleared laser treatment specifically designed to target acne. It works by selectively suppressing overactive sebaceous glands, which are responsible for producing the excess oil that leads to clogged pores and breakouts.
Benefits Of AviClear
- Safe and effective for all skin types
- Drug-free and prescription-free solution
- Minimal discomfort with built-in cooling (AviCool™)
- Quick 30-minute sessions with no downtime
- Clinically proven: 80% of patients report at least 50% acne reduction after 3 sessions
AviClear is ideal for patients looking to reduce moderate to severe acne without relying on oral medications like antibiotics or Accutane.
2. Excel V+
Excel V+ is a dual-wavelength laser system that treats over 20 different skin concerns—including acne-related redness, inflammation, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). It’s especially useful for minimizing the appearance of acne scars, broken capillaries, and lingering discoloration after active breakouts.
Benefits Of Excel V+
- Targets red and brown pigmentation
- Helps fade acne marks and scars
- Comfortable, fast sessions (10–30 minutes)
- No required downtime
- Visible improvement after 1–2 treatments for many patients
Excel V+ is a great option for patients whose active acne has subsided but are left with visible scarring or pigmentation concerns.
3. VI Peel
The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that exfoliates the skin, clears pores, and stimulates new collagen production. Formulated with ingredients like salicylic acid, TCA, retinoic acid, and vitamin C, the VI Peel is designed to treat acne, oily skin, and acne scarring—all with minimal downtime.
Why VI Peel Works For Acne
- Gently removes dead skin and unclogs pores
- Helps control oil and bacteria on the skin
- Reduces scars, dark spots, and rough texture
- Safe for all skin types, including sensitive and darker skin tones
- Most patients see noticeable results in about 7 days
For enhanced results, patients can combine the VI Peel with Botox in a dual treatment designed to smooth skin and enhance glow.
