Next Generation Laser — Infinite-ring delivery, 1940nm wavelength
Laser Vein Co has invested in the latest generation laser delivery system — a notable advance over previous 1470nm systems, offering the latest and safest technology available.
Walk-in, walk-out
2-hour downtime, with overnight bandages only, and a faster return to normal life.
Less discomfort & bruising
Lower-energy 1940nm wavelength means less thermal damage to surrounding tissue than 1470nm.
Comfort & cover options
General anaesthetic available, and health fund subsidy applies for hospital treatment.
Why have a Specialist Vascular Surgeon look after your veins?
More than 30% of Australians will develop varicose veins in their legs at some stage in life, and around 80% will notice superficial spider veins (dermal venules or burst capillaries). Thanks to modern medical technology, you don’t need to put up with the discomfort or complications they cause.
Whilst a variety of health professionals can provide treatment, only a Specialist Vascular Surgeon is qualified to perform procedures both in and out of hospital. Hospital treatment enables both legs to be treated at the same time, with the option of a general anaesthetic — and many patients can claim a portion of the costs through their private health fund.

Book a consultation with Mr Peter Milne
30+ years Specialist vascular experience. Duplex ultrasound at your first visit, so you leave with a personalised plan — not a generic recommendation.
Say goodbye to varicose veins and spider veins
Surgery is only one of the options available. At your initial consultation we assess your individual situation — including an on-site duplex ultrasound — and recommend the best treatment for you.
Laser Ablation (EVLA)
A laser treats larger varicose veins through a needle puncture — comparable results to surgery with much faster recovery. Laser is performed under ultrasound guidance and can be combined with sclerotherapy.
Sclerotherapy
Injection treatment for minor superficial varicose veins, spider veins and discoloured areas. No hospitalisation; only a few hours off work.
Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy
Targets defective veins beneath the skin. When combined with laser, the most effective alternative to surgery with long-lasting results.
Surgery
Ligation, puncture and extraction through tiny incisions — a good long-term solution for very large or complicated veins.
Elastic Stockings
External compression that relieves symptoms. They do not prevent or cure varicose veins, but help manage complications such as ulcers.
Coil Occlusion
Minimally invasive option for leaking ovarian or testicular veins causing pelvic congestion or varicoceles.

FAQs
Are your treatments covered by Medicare or private health insurance?
In most cases there are some out-of-pocket fees for consultations and surgery not covered by Medicare or private health funds. Cosmetic treatments are not covered. Quotes are provided before any procedure. Private health insurance is not required for treatment, but is recommended if you need surgery.
Do I need a doctor’s referral letter to access treatment?
As Mr Milne is a registered Specialist, a referral letter from your doctor is required so you can obtain a Medicare rebate. Your doctor can refer online through our website or use our printable referral form.
