Vein treatments in Melbourne – Facial, Spider and Varicose Veins
Visible veins on the face or legs can appear due to genetics, ageing, pregnancy, hormonal changes or sun exposure. While many veins are harmless, their appearance or associated symptoms may cause concern.
At Aesthetica Image Centre in Armadale, Melbourne, Dr Tony Prochazka and our experienced team provide medically safe and effective vein treatments, including sclerotherapy and laser/IPL vein therapy, personalised after a comprehensive assessment.
Understanding Different Types of Veins
Vein treatments vary depending on the size of the veins, depth, location, and venous health.
Facial Veins
Small, visible veins often appear on the nose, cheeks, or chin. Due to delicate skin, treatment requires careful assessment. Medical or light-based therapies may be recommended in selected cases.
Spider Veins (Thread Veins)
Fine red, blue, or purple veins on the legs are commonly treated for cosmetic reasons. Superficial spider veins respond well to sclerotherapy or laser therapy after a medical consultation.
Varicose Veins
Larger, raised veins may cause aching, heaviness, or discomfort. They can indicate underlying venous insufficiency and may require ultrasound assessment or specialist referral before treatment.
Vein Treatment Options at Aesthetica
Sclerotherapy Melbourne
A trusted medical procedure for selected facial veins, spider veins, and some varicose veins. A specialised solution is injected into the vein, causing it to close and gradually fade. Multiple sessions may be required, and results vary individually.
Laser & IPL Vein Treatments
Targeted light energy treats superficial veins, particularly small facial veins and fine spider veins. Suitable for specific vein types depending on depth, location, and skin type.
Ultrasound-Guided Assessment & Treatment
For larger or symptomatic veins, an ultrasound evaluates venous function. Ultrasound-guided treatment or specialist referral ensures safe, medically appropriate care.

FAQ: Vein Treatments Melbourne
What vein treatments are available?
Vein treatment options may include sclerotherapy, laser/IPL therapy, ultrasound-guided treatment, or other medical procedures depending on the type, size, and location of the vein. A consultation is required to determine the most suitable approach for you.
Are vein treatments suitable for everyone?
Vein treatments are not suitable for everyone. Your medical history, vein characteristics, and individual assessment determine whether a treatment is appropriate and safe.
Does sclerotherapy hurt?
Sclerotherapy may cause mild discomfort, similar to a pinprick, which usually resolves quickly. Most patients tolerate the procedure very well.
How long until veins fade after treatment?
Treated veins gradually fade over several weeks to months. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results, depending on the type and severity of the veins.
Which vein treatment works best for large varicose veins?
For larger varicose veins, treatments such as ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), or radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are usually considered. Your vein specialist will advise on the most appropriate option for your specific condition.
How many sessions are usually required?
The number of sessions depends on the vein type, size, and your individual response to treatment. Many patients require 1–3 sessions for optimal results.
What are the costs of spider vein treatment in Melbourne?
Costs vary depending on the treatment type and area being treated. During your consultation, we provide a personalised treatment plan and estimate based on your needs.
Are vein treatments covered by Medicare?
Depending on the type of veins, Medicare may provide a rebate. We will discuss this with you during your consultation.
