Founded over 30 years ago by Dr. Anne Padbury, Lasers in Medicine is one of Adelaide’s longest-standing aesthetic and vein clinics.

What sets us apart

We offer comprehensive treatments for skin, vein, and cosmetic concerns from our state-of-the-art facility in North Adelaide. Since its establishment, Lasers in Medicine has focused on medical excellence, with a team comprised solely of doctors and nurses to ensure the highest quality clinical care.

Education is central to our mission with our founder Dr. Padbury mentoring emerging phlebologists in advanced vein techniques. Her protégé, Dr. Darren Ng, has since taken over the clinic, expanding its offerings to include dermatology, cosmetic injectables, and the latest in skin and laser rejuvenation with SkinPen and AviClear.

We are dedicated to supporting our patients with individualised care, providing cutting-edge techniques and technology for treating cosmetic skin concerns and managing varicose veins non-surgically.
