Evidence Based Venous Care in Canberra

At Canberra Vein & Laser Clinic, we specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of varicose veins using the latest minimally invasive techniques. Our expert team offers evidence-based solutions designed to improve both the health and appearance of your legs—without the need for surgery or hospital stays.

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that commonly appear on the legs. They may cause discomfort, aching, heaviness, swelling, or even skin changes and ulceration if left untreated. While often considered a cosmetic concern, varicose veins can also lead to more serious circulatory issues.

We offer a range of non-surgical treatments tailored to your condition, including:

  • Microsclerotherapy: Ideal for treating smaller spider veins on the surface of the skin.
  • Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy: A precise injection-based treatment that closes off damaged veins.
  • Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT): A walk-in walk-out procedure that uses targeted laser energy to seal the affected vein.

All treatments are performed in-clinic under local anaesthetic with minimal downtime, allowing you to return to normal activities quickly and safely. Our experienced vein doctors use advanced duplex ultrasound imaging to ensure accurate diagnosis and optimal results.

We pride ourselves on delivering personalised, professional care in a supportive environment. Whether you’re seeking treatment for painful symptoms or cosmetic improvement, our goal is to help you feel confident and comfortable in your skin.

Laser Skin Treatments

Lasers are widely used in Aesthetic Medicine with good outcomes. They are becoming an increasingly popular choice for many treatments such as: skin rejuvenation, skin resurfacing, laser hair removal, and the treatment of red blood vessels on the face.Many different types of lasers are used in Aesthetic Medicine. The type of laser that is most appropriate for a particular treatment will depend on what the patient is looking to get treated. The most appropriate laser for a particular treatment will be determined by the underlying condition. For example, red blood vessels or rosacea are treated with a vascular laser, while skin tone and wrinkles are improved by a rejuvenation laser.

All patients require a detailed clinical review by a trained clinician. This will involve a thorough assessment of a patient’s medical history and a physical examination. These consultations are vital to ensure that the patient has no contraindications to laser treatment and also to prescribe the best possible laser treatment.

Patients often ask about the risks associated with laser treatments. Cosmetic laser treatment is based on understanding the way in which light wavelengths interact with human skin. This requires an in-depth knowledge and understanding of laser functioning. In the right hands, laser treatments deliver good results. Lasers should only be used by laser operators with the necessary qualifications and experience. This is a fundamental principle at CVLM.CVLM uses a wide array of lasers to offer the following treatments: rejuvenation, ablation, pigment reduction, and improvement of vascular skin lesions. All our lasers have been selected based on how effectively they treat the conditions for which patients seek expert knowledge.
