Types of Scar Treatments

At Davis Dermatology, we offer advanced scar treatment in Sacramento and Davis, CA, designed to improve the texture, tone, and overall appearance of your skin. Whether your scars are from acne, surgery, or injury, our team provides personalized solutions using cutting-edge techniques to help you achieve smoother, clearer skin.

Chemical Peels

When scars are primarily dark spots or hyperpigmentation, we recommend a series of chemical peels in conjunction with lightening creams.

Steroid Injections

Steroid injections are used to help flatten raised scars also known as hypertrophic or keloid scars. These scars can result from surgeries, injuries, acne, and trauma to the skin. The injections help to soften and flatten the raised scars. Unfortunately, they do not typically change the color of the scar. Multiple treatments are required, performed at monthly intervals until the desired result is obtained. Patients tend to tolerate the treatment well.

Surgery

The nature of some scars requires surgical removal because they are unlikely to respond to other forms of treatment, or the desired result requires complete removal. With surgical removal, the current scar will be replaced by a line scar. This treatment is done under local anesthesia.

Microneedling RF

Our microneedling RF treatment (Virtue RF) combines three collagen-stimulating treatments: microneedling, radiofrequency, and red light treatment. We treat acne scars, non-acne scars, and stretch marks. Treatment is performed after topical numbing at monthly intervals until desired results are obtained.

Laser Treatments for Scars

Laser treatments can be used to improve the appearance of the following:

Acne scars
Surgical scars
Red scars
Stretch marks
Keloids

Lasers Commonly Used at Davis Dermatology

We use a variety of laser technologies to target different aspects of scar tissue:

LaserGenesis – Treats redness
Excel V – Treats redness
ResurFx – Stimulates collagen
PicoGenesis FX – Stimulates collagen, best for darker skin types
Halo – Fractionated resurfacing that removes pigment and boosts collagen production

Treatment Experience and Guidelines

Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a series of rubber band snaps on the skin.
Multiple sessions are typically needed for optimal results.
Avoid sun exposure for two weeks before and after treatment to reduce the risk of complications.

A Closer Look at Microneedling With Radiofrequency (Virtue RF)

Combining Three Treatments in One

Virtue RF is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive treatment that stimulates the natural production of collagen. It is designed to promote the natural production of collagen using three collagen-stimulating modalities: microneedling, radiofrequency, and red light therapy.

It has been shown to be effective in treating acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, mild skin laxity, and loose skin. It is an excellent treatment for anti-aging the face, neck, decolletage, hands, and body.

Collagen Induction Therapy

VirtueRF utilizes sterile gold-tipped microneedles that emit radiofrequency at the tips to create microscopic channels deep into the skin's dermis. These microchannels remain open for several hours, allowing the addition of growth factors like PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to enhance collagen stimulation. This type of controlled injury to the skin stimulates the body to produce new collagen.

Wound Healing Mechanisms

Virtue RF microneedles are insulated except for the very tip, allowing for the release of radiofrequency energy deep to the surface of the skin while protecting the uppermost part of the skin, called the epidermis. This very precise radiofrequency energy stimulates the natural wound healing process of the skin, causing remodeling of collagen, elastin, and wound contraction, which can improve skin laxity.

Blue and Red Light Therapy

Each pulse of the Virtue emits either blue or red light. Blue light is used if there is active acne. Red light is used to improve redness or for anti-aging. This low-level light therapy activates skin cells to increase collagen production, moisture levels in the skin, and improve skin tone and texture.

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.

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.

Fan-freaken-tastic

Dr. Noll is very knowledgeable and professional

Dr. Noll and her staff are incredible. From the minute you walk in, Daniel makes you feel very welcomed and very comfortable. Dr. Noll is very knowledgeable and professional, and you can tell that she really cares about her patients and wants to help them meet their goals. The service provided by her and her staff went above and beyond my expectations, and I have recommended all my friends to go see her, and they, too, have had nothing but the best things to say about their experience as well.

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...

Wonderful staff. Dr. Noll is great. What kept me coming back was how friendly Carla, Daniel, and Dr. Noll are. Dr. Noll was willing to answer all my questions and concerns and share with me the different treatment plans without hassle. Strongly recommended for your dermatology needs!

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.

Getting to Know Dr. Noll

Do you have any quirks?

"My family would probably be better able to answer this question, but the one that comes to mind is about washing my hair. I wash my hair every day. I know that people will tell me it’s bad for my hair. The problem is that I believe that every bad day I’ve ever had in my life was a day that I didn’t wash my hair. So every day I wash my hair."
