As the board-certified dermatologist at the only practice in Nevada with a board-certified dermatologist and board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Jennifer Janiga works with patients to create a comprehensive plan for aesthetics that is more than skin deep. Dr. Janiga often says, “Your skin is my skin.” She takes her patient outcomes very personally and draws on a combination of over two decades of experience, unique access to combine plastic surgery and dermatology, and her extensive training, including a Laser Fellowship, to create unparalleled results. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology and the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, as well as a member of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery. Her strong background in medical and cosmetic dermatology allows for a higher level of patient safety and the highest quality of treatments.
Dr. Janiga works with only the best equipment and technology. JanigaMDs has invested millions of dollars in cosmetic device equipment. This includes a laser hair removal device that is safe for both light and dark skin, the latest in laser technology for skin resurfacing and CoolSculpting Elite, as well as microneedling and skin tightening, and so much more. Dr. Janiga believes that her patients come to her for the best cosmetic skin care and that should include the latest innovations in technology.
Dr. Janiga has been recognized as a leading dermatologist and cosmetic provider through numerous awards and distinctions. She has been repeatedly named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor and is listed on the American Registry of America’s Most Honored Professionals — Top 5%. Additionally, she has earned awards for Best of Reno Dermatologist, Best of Reno Medical Spa, and Top Dermatologist.
Dr. Jennifer Janiga always knew she wanted to be a dermatologist even before her first day of medical school at the University of Nevada, Reno. To her, dermatology is a window into what people have been through, the ability to see outside signs of what can be going on inside. It’s what has drawn her to help people through dermatology.
Patients often describe Dr. Janiga as both innovative and honest. She listens attentively to her patients’ goals and creates a comprehensive plan that is conservative and helps them look their absolute best today and for years to come. Honest talk, humility, and a fresh perspective, paired with decades of experience and education, all contribute to the effectiveness of her straightforward care.
When patients work with Dr. Janiga, they know her “yes” means something. Dr. Janiga wants her patients to look like their best selves, and sometimes that means saying “no” to treatments that are too aggressive or not aggressive enough for the ideal outcome. Her years of experience and access to cooperative care with plastic surgery give her a unique, multifaceted perspective, allowing Dr. Janiga to help patients achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance while maintaining safety and natural-looking results.
In addition to creating innovative and effective cosmetic dermatology care plans, Dr. Janiga is also the author of Clearing Up Skin Care. Her book is a comprehensive guide to decoding the terms, ingredients, and treatments involved in the sometimes-overwhelming world of skincare and beauty. With this book, patients can learn about the ingredients and treatments that are best for their unique skin rather than relying on popular brand names and clever marketing. Learn more about it here.
When Dr. Janiga is not helping her patients look and feel better, or literally writing the book on skincare, you can find her spending time with her board-certified plastic surgeon husband, Dr. Timothy Janiga, chatting with her grown daughters, sweating it out at the gym, or enjoying one of our beautiful Northern Nevada trails.
Dr. Janiga specializes in a variety of non-surgical and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, including advanced lasers, injectables and fillers like Botox and Juvederm, professional facials and peels, and more. She builds personalized treatment plans for each patient and recommends specific procedures or combinations of procedures after thoroughly assessing their skin needs and unique concerns. Under the care of Dr. Janiga and our expert staff of nurse practitioners and advanced aestheticians, patients receive top-quality treatment with the goal of achieving long-lasting skin health.
