– About Us
The highest quality non-surgical vein Treatments & cosmetic services
Welcome to Southern Vein and Cosmetic Centre, where we offer highly skilled assessment and non-surgical management of varicose veins, surface veins and complications of varicose venous disease. We also offer full range of non-surgical facial aesthetic services.
At Southern Vein and Cosmetic Centre our philosophy is clear; to provide our patients with the most comprehensive and wholistic care of their venous disease using the latest non-surgical approaches. This care is based on internationally-recognised best-practice guidelines and the most current medical evidence available.
Our goal is to understand your concerns fully. This starts with a comprehensive assessment including ultrasound studies (or “mapping”) of your leg veins, and a thorough discussion of your treatment options. We treat all aspects of venous disease including varicose veins, surface (or “spider” veins) and complications of venous disease including swelling, ulcers and thrombosis, with the highest skill and training.
We are the only clinic in southern Sydney offering clinicians who have undertaken dedicated venous and lymphatic medicine training with the Australasian College of Phlebology. Established by Dr Melanie Andronicus, Southern Vein and Cosmetic Centre offers a safe, professional and comfortable environment to thoroughly explore your concerns about all aspects of venous disease.
Dr Andronicus is also a fully qualified cosmetic physician and provides a full range of facial aesthetic services also.
The team at Southern Vein and Cosmetic Centre hold in the highest regard not only your safety, but your optimal outcome. The treatments offered by Dr Andronicus are evidence based, and in line with international best practice guidelines.
Varicose vein, spider vein and other aesthetic treatments require the highest level of skill and professional training. At Southern Vein and Cosmetic Centre, we pride ourselves on being in line with The Australasian College of Phlebology for all our vein related treatments. We prioritise rigorous professional training for all our staff and an ever-evolving passion for further study and professional development.
At Southern Vein and Cosmetic Centre, Dr Andronicus offers Endovenous Laser Ablation and Ultrasound-guided Sclerotherapy as her main non-surgical methods of varicose vein management. These techniques are endorsed here in Australia and internationally as the treatments of choice for Varicose Vein disease. We can also offer direct vision sclerotherapy to treat surface veins.
Dr Andronicus also manages complications of varicose vein disease including superficial thrombophlebitis, deep vein thrombosis, varicose eczema, irrevesible skin and soft tissue changes secondary to chronic venous hypertension, and venous ulcers.
– YOUR APPOINTMENT
Your initial appointment with dr andronicus.
Your initial appointment will allow for a full and confidential discussion about your concerns and priorities. Importantly it is also an opportunity to glean a thorough understanding of your general health.
For issues pertaining to veins, you will also be assessed with an ultrasound to better understand your particular venous anatomy. With this scan, we develop a full appreciation of the nature of, and direction of blood flow in your veins. This information is absolutely central in our ability to recommend the very best treatment pathway for you.
No two treatment plans are the same. Your recommended treatment pathway will be explained to you in detail, including the treatment or treatments best suited to you, the number of visits usually required, and a full explanation of the costs. Many treatments offered are eligible for Medicare rebates.
