Sclerotherapy Sacramento & Davis, CA

Name: Sclerotherapy
Brand: Davis Dermatology
Rating: 4.8 (192 reviews)

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that eliminates spider and varicose veins, improving both the appearance and comfort of your legs.

How does it work?

A solution, also called a sclerosant, is injected into the vessel, which causes the vessel to close.

Am I a good candidate?

Sclerotherapy is best for the little spider veins (usually purple) and the medium ones, called reticular veins (usually blue-green). Very large rope-like veins, called varicose veins, are usually treated with more invasive treatments.

A Message from Dr. Noll

Sclerotherapy has been around for over 300 years, but it is still the treatment of choice for spider veins. It is one of my favorite treatments to perform. I find it very gratifying to watch the vessels disappear as the sclerosant is injected.

What Patients Are Saying

Thorough, professional, and kind.

You can tell she truly cares about her patients—not just their skin, but their overall wellbeing.

Everyone that works there is just as amazing as Dr. Noll.

I’m a new client… I will now be a regular client.

Each treatment feels like an hour with a girlfriend.

My HydraFacial was amazing, and so were the results! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the HydraFacial gently removes (a ton) of dead skin cells, leaving skin hydrated, smooth, and glowing. The best part was the care given to me by Dr. Noll’s staff.

I just had a HydraFacial, and it was amazing! My skin feels so soft, hydrated, and brand new!

I have been coming here for services and products for a couple of years now. Dr. Noll and the staff are wonderful! Everyone is friendly, helpful, and professional. My skin has never looked better after IPL and Vivace treatments.

Excellent results.

Excellent results from IPL treatment and wonderful customer service throughout. Thank you, Dr. Noll.

They know what they are doing.

I've got to say, they know what they are doing. I went in for some CoolSculpting. Been working on losing weight and had some areas that needed some extra help. The Dr. and staff are very personable and professional.

Fillers look gorgeous.

Dr. Noll did an amazing job with my lip fillers! She took the time to really understand what I wanted, gave a little recommendation, and they look gorgeous and very natural.

The best.

I come here to get filler from Dr. Noll, and she’s the best. At the first consultation appointment, she took her time to educate me on the process, the type of filler, possible complications, etc. She’s very knowledgeable and has years of experience.

I’m a forever client.

I have been going to Davis Dermatology for several months now for laser hair removal. I honestly cannot say enough good things about their business. They are one of the best businesses I’ve worked with in so many years. Their prices are fair, their communication is outstanding, and I am having such great results from my sessions. Love Davis Dermatology! You have a forever client.

Dr. Noll goes above and beyond.

It is such a gift to be able to see the same physician for both health care and aesthetic goals. Dr. Noll goes above and beyond to ensure her patients are informed and comfortable.

Best place to be.

Came for my second visit. I am pleased and satisfied with the treatment I received from Dr. Noll. She’s amazing, she cares about her patients. Best place to be.

Saw results in one week.

I tried countless products for my acne, and nothing worked. In fact, it ONLY MADE IT WORSE. Luckily, I was able to go to Davis Dermatology. During the appointment, Dr. Noll prescribed me something that could help my acne. After one week, so many people noticed the change and improvement in my skin.

Dr. Noll works wonders.

I had a wonderful experience at Davis Dermatology. Dr. Noll works wonders. This was my first time getting Botox and fillers, and I have no regrets. The results are so natural.

So excellent.

I’ve been coming here for more than three years for Botox and other cosmetic procedures. I’ve hesitated to write this review because Dr. Noll’s work produces such natural results that no one knows that I get anything done. She is thoughtful, gentle, and has an amazing eye. You will not be disappointed.

Thoughtful care.

The team at Davis Dermatology is kind, thoughtful, and genuine. They consider every detail of your care and are thoughtful about preparation and outcomes.

Does a wonderful job.

I cannot recommend Davis Dermatology more! I have been getting injections for many years and have not had such nice results as I have had with Dr. Noll. She takes her time and does a wonderful job. If you want great results, you should go to Davis Dermatology. Go here for beautiful, natural-looking cosmetic procedures.

I am beyond satisfied.

Imagine meeting up with your best girlfriend to talk about your skin…this is what it’s like to be treated by Dr. Noll. She’s so at ease, but confident and knowledgeable.

Great doctor and very personable.

Dr. Noll recently treated me and immediately put me at ease, as I had concerns as a Lupus patient. Dr. Noll explained everything thoroughly, and I was extremely happy with everything.

Amazing, timely service, super nice staff, and a beautiful office area.

I've had terrible acne since high school and didn't go see a dermatologist till college, and this place is the best. It's super close to campus, Dr. Noll really makes the effort to find the right medications for you, and makes you feel like you're her only patient. Also, Daniel at the front desk is the nicest happiest person ever.

I once got my dates mixed up and went to my appointment two days late, and they still managed to fit me in within the hour. The wait is never long.

I'm always happy to go to my appointments here.

I will continue to recommend others to Dr Noll

I have been coming to Dr Noll for a few years. I have had Vanquish on my tummy and Botox, Juviderm, and Boletero on my face. The entire office staff is friendly and helpful. Daniel made me feel welcome immediately and always strives to please. Besides being an extremely nice person, Dr Noll is knowledgeable and a true professional. I have never been rushed in any manner and am able to have all my questions answered before deciding on a procedure. Afterwards, she always wants to know how I liked the results. She has a genuine concern that any...

Dr. Noll is so knowledgeable!

This is a great office! The staff, Daniel and Carla, are very friendly and helpful, and Dr. Noll is so knowledgeable! Very willing to help with any dermatology or skincare questions, and I find the location to be very convenient also.

The whole office is extremely professional and helpful

Dr. Noll, Daniel, and Karla are wonderful. The whole office is extremely professional and helpful. My skin was so damaged from all the sunbathing I did in the 80s, and Dr. Noll has completely changed that. I have had some really bad experiences with doctors in the past, so I get very nervous when I enter any medical facility. This office is so pleasant and relaxing, I don't experience any of my usual anxiety when I go to see Dr. Noll. She is very competent and I trust her completely, 100%. I highly recommend her.

I highly recommend this office

I really like this office, soooo professional. I love the treatments I've had here (botox, fillers, tightening, and laser resurfacing). Prices are reasonable, and Dr. Noll listens and then advises on what she thinks will work best for your budget. She is a great doctor, and I love the results. Her staff are the nicest I've had at a doctor's office and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable, the costs and co-pay are stated right up front ( no surprises). I highly recommend this office.

I couldn't ask for a better dermatologist!

Dr. Noll is an ideal medical professional! She is warm, has an excellent bedside manner, is intelligent, listens to your needs and concerns, and truly cares about her patients. Her office and staff are top-notch, and I (as a medical professional myself) would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a dermatologist. I no longer live in Davis, but I still drive nearly 3 hours to see her. I couldn't ask for a better dermatologist!

Her staff was also very friendly and helpful

I had my very first consultation with Dr. Noll today, and it was a very pleasant experience. I was a bit nervous, but Dr. Noll made me feel very comfortable, almost as if I were talking to a very good friend. She explained the procedures in a way that was easy for me to understand, and she made me feel very safe in choosing her for my procedure. I would strongly recommend her for any dermatological procedure. Her staff was also very friendly and helpful.

A Closer Look at Leg Veins

Varicose Veins

Visible leg veins are a common concern that tends to increase with age. Many patients simply want to feel comfortable wearing shorts, dresses, or skirts again without feeling self-conscious.

What Causes Varicose and Spider Veins?

There is often a genetic predisposition to developing leg veins, but other common contributing factors include:

Prolonged standing
Pregnancy
Hormonal changes
Aging

Understanding the Types of Leg Veins

Spider veins: Small, red or purple veins near the skin’s surface
Reticular veins: Medium-sized, blue-green veins beneath the skin
Varicose veins: Large, rope-like veins that bulge visibly

Treatment Options

There is no permanent cure for varicose veins, as new veins can form over time. However, several treatments can significantly improve their appearance.

Sclerotherapy: An effective in-office treatment for small and medium-sized veins, such as spider and reticular veins
More invasive options (not available in-office):
- Venaseal
- Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)
- Vein stripping

Preventive Measures and At-Home Tips

If you're not ready for treatment, Dr. Noll offers several strategies to help prevent worsening or the formation of new veins:

Wear compression stockings during long periods of standing.
During pregnancy, avoid crossing legs at the knees—cross at the ankles instead.
Elevate your feet when possible to reduce pressure.
Use self-tanner to help camouflage visible veins temporarily.

While these approaches won't eliminate existing veins, they can help slow their progression and improve comfort.

Getting to Know Dr. Noll

If I were not a physician, what would I be?

“I absolutely love cooking. It was my secret weapon in helping my kids get through high school. No matter how rough their day, if I came home and cooked, usually starting with sauteing garlic and onions, I could feel the stress just melt away in the house. It was true aromatherapy. Had I not been accepted to medical school, my backup plan was to attend culinary school. Both of my parents were great cooks. In fact, my father started as a cook in the Navy and later became a pastry chef.”

FAQ Sclerotherapy

How much does it cost?

$675-$1250 per treatment (Cost varies. Prices are subject to change without notice.)

Does it hurt?

Sclerotherapy is an injection treatment. However, the treatment is well tolerated due to the availability of a more comfortable sclerosant and due to the very small amount used.

What is the downtime?

There is no true downtime; however, patients are required to wear compression garments and are not permitted to do strenuous exercises for two weeks. Dr. Noll recommends this treatment during the cooler months to make stocking wearing more tolerable.

How many treatments will I need?

Most patients will see a significant improvement after one treatment. However, depending on the initial severity, treatment goals, and compliance with wearing stockings after treatment, it is common for patients to require multiple treatments.
