Laser Hair Removal Sacramento & Davis, CA

Name: Laser Hair Removal
Brand: Davis Dermatology
Rating: 4.8 (192 reviews)

Laser hair removal offers a safe, effective way to achieve long-lasting smooth skin. Our advanced technology targets unwanted hair with precision, giving you lasting confidence and comfort.

How does Laser Hair Removal work?

The laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle. The light energy is absorbed by the hair follicle and turned into heat. The heat is then absorbed by the surrounding hair follicle cells that are responsible for making new hairs and subsequently destroyed. No more new hairs.

Am I a good candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

The ideal hair and skin combination for laser hair removal in Sacramento & Davis, CA, is dark hair with light skin. In this instance, the laser is able to easily see the pigment in the hair follicle as it is not distracted by any surrounding skin pigment. While this is ideal, our laser is able to treat patients with other combinations of pigment. Unfortunately, the laser cannot see white or gray hair. Call today for your free consultation.

What to Expect

BEFORE

Avoid sun exposure two weeks before laser hair removal in Sacramento & Davis, CA. Do not pluck, wax, or thread the area before the procedure. Come with hair shaved or trimmed to the skin. Do not use lotions or deodorant on the treated areas.

DURING

A series of treatment pulses will be passed over the skin in the areas being treated. The laser pulse feels like a rubber band snapping on the skin.

AFTER

The treated area should be protected from direct sun exposure for two weeks following the treatment.

A Closer Look at Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is one of the most effective ways to reduce unwanted hair in the long term. While it significantly minimizes regrowth, it’s important to understand how hair cycles affect treatment outcomes.

Why Hair Might Regrow Over Time

Although laser hair removal offers lasting reduction, some patients notice hair regrowth in previously treated areas. This is often due to the following natural hormonal changes:

Menopause
Pregnancy
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

These fluctuations can reactivate hair follicles that were dormant during prior sessions.

Understanding Hair Growth Cycles

Laser hair removal is only effective on active (anagen phase) hair follicles. However, in any treatment area, only a portion of hair follicles actively grow at a given time. The rest are either dormant (telogen phase) or transitioning (catagen phase).

This explains why multiple sessions are needed, why some areas clear faster than others, and why hair may return over time, though usually finer and lighter.

Hair Color Limitations

Laser hair removal does not work on the following:

White hair
Blonde hair
Gray hair

These shades lack the pigment (melanin) needed to absorb laser energy. Patients often ask about options for these hair types. Unfortunately, the only long-term option is electrolysis, which targets individual follicles, but Davis Dermatology does not offer this service.

Are you named after your dad?

No, unfortunately, I am not. In comparison, most people named after a relative are named after a grandparent, great aunt, uncle, or even a parent. I am actually named after my older brother, Earl, who is only two years my senior. My name is completely made up and often confused with Erwin, Elaine, and Earlene. After this explanation, though, people usually remember my first name.

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!

Davis Derm is a gem!

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

My skin has never been better.

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.

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.
