General Practitioner - Practice Restricted to Venous Disorders and Cosmetic Medical Treatments
All patients with varicose and/or spider veins are thoroughly assessed and, sometimes, also sent for a mapping ultrasound. Many spider veins and some varicose veins can be treated by sclerotherapy which is an injection treatment. Spider veins are usually treated with a salt and sugar in water solution which is generally well-tolerated.

Frown lines, crow’s feet, lip lines, facial folds, and cheek augmentation can be improved with cosmetic facial injections. Often the skin is numbed for treatment with a topical anaesthetic cream. There is usually minimal downtime with these procedures.
Contact us todayFacial spider veins can be caused by sun exposure and aging but most often they are the result of rosacea. Rosacea is a common condition of facial redness and spider veins. There is no cure but it can usually be controlled with prescription creams and laser/IPL treatments.

Cryotherapy is a treatment that uses very low temperatures to freeze skin lesions such as skin tags, sun spots, and seborrheic dermatoses. A scab forms on the lesion and in several days, it peels off.
Contact us todayMicroneedling uses a pen-like device to create thousands of tiny wounds in the skin that trigger the body’s own natural wound healing process to increase collagen remodelling. This helps improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scarring, melasma, uneven pigmentation and some scars. It is a minimally-invasive procedure with little downtime.

Chemical peels involve the application of a solution that loosens the connections between the superficial skin cells inducing exfoliation and stimulating new cell growth. This process causes the superficial layers of dead skin to peel off revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion. Peels can also help thicken the epidermis, improve acne and reduce some pigmentation in the skin. Usually, there is no downtime - there may be some redness and mild flaking for a few days after the peel.
Contact us todayFacials have great benefits to the health and wellness of the skin and are so much more than pampering. They can help to slow down the aging of the skin by exfoliating , hydrating and deep pore cleansing. Facials are customized for acne, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, dry or sensitive skin. Facials are relaxing and stress-reducing while creating fresh, radiant, healthy skin.
