Clean Slate sounds simple.
That is the trap.
A med spa name can make the appointment feel lighter than it is. You see Botox, laser, microneedling, chemical peels, IV therapy, and weight-loss support on a menu, and the whole thing starts to feel like one normal beauty errand.
I would not treat it that way.
If I were checking Clean Slate Med Spa in Reno in May 2026, I would slow the decision down by treatment type. Botox is one conversation. Laser is another. Microneedling is another. IV therapy is another. A good provider may offer all of them, but your skin does not experience them as the same risk.
The short version: Clean Slate Med Spa looks like a Reno medical-aesthetics option for people comparing Botox or Xeomin, Aerolase laser, CO2 or erbium resurfacing, microneedling, chemical peels, laser hair removal, sclerotherapy, and IV therapy. I would consider it if the consult felt specific, medically grounded, and conservative. I would not book from the menu alone.
My quick read
Clean Slate Med Spa lists its Reno location at 9610 S. McCarran Blvd., Suite 11, Reno, NV 89523. Public booking information shows a menu with Botox/Xeomin, Aerolase Neo Elite laser, ablative CO2 laser, ablative Era Elite erbium laser, SkinPen microneedling, Skin Classic thermolysis, sclerotherapy, laser hair removal, BioRePeel, Korean chemical peels, IV infusions, B12 shots, glutathione infusions, NAD+ infusions, and weight-loss support.
That is a serious menu.
It covers skin texture, unwanted hair, acne and acne scarring, broken capillaries, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, melasma, skin laxity, volume loss, skin tags, sun damage, spider veins, and wellness services. I would not walk into that menu with a vague goal like "I want my skin better."
I would walk in with one problem.
Then I would ask which treatment actually fits it.
The first question I would ask
I would ask, "What would you not treat today?"
That question tells you more than a sales page.
If a provider can explain why they would avoid laser on freshly irritated skin, delay a peel before a sunny trip, keep Botox conservative on a first visit, or separate microneedling from active acne, I trust the room more. If every concern turns into a same-day treatment, I get cautious.
Good aesthetic care has boundaries.
It should not feel like the answer is always yes.
Where I would start locally
I would open the Clean Slate local page first, then compare it against the broader Reno market.

I would use those pages as a shortlist, not a verdict. The goal is not to collect every med spa in Reno. The goal is to compare the right kind of provider for the treatment you actually want.
Botox and Xeomin need restraint
Botox and Xeomin are quick appointments, but they should not feel casual.
They are neuromodulators. They soften movement. That can look rested and natural when the dose fits the face. It can also feel heavy, uneven, frozen, or strange if the plan is too aggressive or too generic.
Before booking Botox or Xeomin at Clean Slate or any Reno med spa, I would ask:
- Who evaluates my face before treatment?
- Who injects, and what is their training?
- How do you decide dose for a first visit?
- Which areas would you avoid treating on me?
- What product are you using today?
- Where does the product come from?
- When should results start, and when should I judge them?
- What should make me call after the appointment?
The CDC has advised people to get botulinum toxin injections only from licensed, trained professionals using product from authorized suppliers. That is not meant to scare you. It is the baseline.
If the injector cannot explain the product, dose, and follow-up clearly, I would not sit for the injection.
Laser is where the consult matters most
Laser can be powerful.
That is the point. It is also the reason I would ask more questions before booking it than I would before booking a gentle facial.
Clean Slate's public menu includes Aerolase Neo Elite, ablative CO2 laser, ablative Era Elite erbium laser, and laser hair removal. Those are not the same lane. A non-ablative laser conversation for redness, vessels, hair, or acne support is different from ablative resurfacing for texture, scars, wrinkles, or sun damage.
I would want the provider to explain:
- what device they are using
- what skin concern it is meant to treat
- whether my skin tone changes the risk
- what downtime is realistic
- what pre-treatment products to stop
- how sun exposure changes the plan
- what aftercare is required
- what complications should make me call
Reno matters here because sun, dryness, altitude, outdoor time, and seasonal exposure can change how skin behaves after treatment. A laser plan that ignores your actual life is not specific enough.
I would be careful with aggressive resurfacing
CO2 and erbium resurfacing are not "glow before dinner" treatments.
They can be useful for deeper texture, certain scars, fine lines, and sun-damage patterns, but they require a serious conversation about downtime, pigment risk, infection prevention, wound care, medication history, and aftercare compliance.
If I were considering ablative resurfacing, I would ask whether I am a good candidate now or whether my skin needs preparation first. I would also ask how the provider handles people with a history of cold sores, keloids, hyperpigmentation, melasma, recent isotretinoin use, photosensitizing medications, or active skin irritation.
The right answer may be "not yet."
That answer can save your skin.
Microneedling is not one-size-fits-all
SkinPen microneedling can make sense for texture, certain acne-scar patterns, pores, and collagen-stimulation goals. But it is not a free pass for every kind of bump, mark, or scar.
I would not microneedle over active infected-looking breakouts. I would not rush it if my skin barrier felt hot, tight, or raw. I would not treat it like a casual facial if I had a history of abnormal scarring or pigment issues.
My questions would be simple:
| Question | Why I would ask |
|---|---|
| What depth are you using and why? | Depth changes risk and downtime |
| How many sessions do you expect? | One treatment rarely tells the whole story |
| What should I stop beforehand? | Retinoids, acids, and irritation matter |
| What aftercare do you require? | Healing quality affects results |
| What result should I not expect? | Microneedling is not filler, laser, or surgery |
I like treatments more when the provider can tell me their limits.
Chemical peels need skin context
Clean Slate lists BioRePeel and Korean chemical peels. Those names can sound more approachable than a traditional peel, but I would still ask what acids, actives, depth, downtime, and post-care apply.
If your skin is already irritated from retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, exfoliating acids, acne prescriptions, sun exposure, or barrier damage, a peel may be the wrong move that week.
I would tell the provider:
- what I used in the last two weeks
- whether I peel or pigment easily
- whether I have melasma
- whether I am acne-prone
- whether I have a trip or event soon
- whether I recently waxed, shaved aggressively, had laser, or used strong actives
A good peel consult should ask about your routine before it touches your face.
IV therapy and NAD+ belong in a different mental category
IV therapy is not skincare.
It may sit on the same med spa menu, but it belongs in a wellness and medical-screening lane. Clean Slate lists custom IV infusions, B12 injections, glutathione IV infusion, and NAD+ IV infusion. I would not evaluate those by glow claims alone.
I would ask:
- Who screens me before treatment?
- What ingredients and doses are in the infusion?
- What medical conditions or medications make it a bad fit?
- What side effects are common?
- What symptoms would be urgent?
- Who places the IV?
- Who is available if I feel unwell during or after?
Convenience is nice. Screening is better.
The review patterns I would care about
Reviews can help, but only if you read them by service.
I would not let a great IV therapy review convince me to book laser. I would not let a friendly front-desk comment decide Botox. I would not let one dramatic before-and-after photo decide resurfacing.
I would look for reviews that mention:
- the exact treatment
- who performed it
- whether expectations were clear
- whether pricing was explained
- how the skin healed afterward
- whether the result looked natural over time
- whether follow-up was easy
- whether questions were answered without pressure
The most useful review is not always the most emotional one. It is the one with details you can compare.
The cleanest way to choose between Reno options
I would compare Reno med spas by treatment lane.
| If the concern is | I would compare for |
|---|---|
| Forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet | Botox/Xeomin experience, conservative dosing, follow-up |
| Acne scars or texture | Microneedling vs laser judgment, downtime explanation |
| Sun damage or pigment | Device choice, skin tone safety, peel vs laser logic |
| Broken capillaries or redness | Laser fit, settings, maintenance plan |
| Unwanted hair | Laser hair-removal device, skin tone/hair color fit |
| Dull but sensitive skin | Gentle facial or barrier plan, not automatic peel |
| Wellness infusions | Medical screening, ingredient clarity, monitoring |
That is how the decision gets less blurry.

What I would do before a consult
I would bring a boring list.
Current cleanser. Current moisturizer. Current sunscreen. Actives. Prescriptions. Supplements. Recent procedures. History of cold sores. History of pigment changes. Skin reactions. Allergies. Pregnancy or breastfeeding status if relevant. Recent sunburns. Upcoming trips. Upcoming photos. Budget.
Then I would take three normal photos: front, side, and three-quarter view in ordinary light.
Not filtered. Not dramatic. Normal.
Glass helps here because you can keep product notes, routine changes, photos, and treatment notes in one place. If a laser, peel, or microneedling appointment changes your skin for two weeks, you want a record that is more reliable than memory.
The red flags I would not negotiate with
I would pause or leave if:
- the provider cannot explain who is treating me
- product source is vague
- pricing changes at the chair
- risks are brushed off
- laser downtime is minimized too casually
- active skin irritation is ignored
- the plan feels bigger than my concern
- I am pushed into a package before one treatment has been evaluated
- there is no clear aftercare
- there is no clear contact path if something feels wrong
Good med spa care should make you feel informed, not cornered.
Who Clean Slate may be right for
I would consider Clean Slate Med Spa if I were in Reno and wanted one place to discuss injectables, lasers, microneedling, peels, laser hair removal, and wellness services with a provider who can sort the menu into a realistic plan.
It may be especially relevant if you want a clinic that lists both skin-device treatments and injectable/wellness services, because that combination can make planning easier when the consult is good.
I would be more cautious if I wanted a diagnosis for a changing spot, severe acne, a rash, unexplained hair loss, infection-like bumps, or a medical skin condition. In those cases, I would involve a board-certified dermatologist or appropriate clinician first.
What I would ask before booking
Here is the short list I would bring:
- Which treatment would you recommend for my concern, and what would you skip?
- Who performs the treatment?
- What credentials and training apply to this treatment?
- What product, device, or peel are you using?
- What is the realistic downtime?
- What risks matter for my skin tone and history?
- What should I stop before treatment?
- What should I use afterward?
- How many sessions are realistic?
- What is the full cost before I decide?
- When do you want follow-up?
If those questions feel like too much for the appointment, the appointment is too thin.
Bottom line
Clean Slate Med Spa in Reno looks like a real med spa candidate for Botox, Xeomin, laser, microneedling, peels, laser hair removal, IV therapy, and related aesthetic-wellness services.
I would not book it from the name or menu alone.
I would choose by treatment lane, ask who is treating me, ask what product or device is being used, ask what they would avoid, and make sure the aftercare is clear before anything happens.
The best med spa decision is not the fastest one. It is the one that still makes sense after the excitement settles.
