Two Decades of

Unparalleled patient and client care every day, in every way possible.

Valley Medical Aesthetics began with medical laser treatments for the skin. When it became clear how many people in Atlantic Canada were living with untreated venous disease, we built a vein practice around them, and kept the same standard for both.

How we got here

From lasers to leg veins

We started out offering medical laser treatments to improve the appearance of skin. Demand for something else kept surfacing: people with venous disease who had nowhere close to go.

Vascular surgeon Dr Dion Davidson recognized that patients needed access to endovenous laser treatment, an approach with minimal scarring, no general anesthesia, less discomfort and a faster recovery than traditional vein surgery.

Winter turns out to be an ideal time to treat chronic venous disease. Compression stockings are more comfortable and easily concealed in cooler weather, so many patients start then.

What we changed

Two years became one appointment

Getting a vein problem looked at used to mean several trips and a wait of more than two years.

We changed the order of operations. Our ultrasound technicians conduct the necessary testing immediately before you see the surgeon, so results and specialist are in the same room at the same time. One appointment, not a series of them, and a dramatically shorter wait.

Prevention

Before it becomes a problem

“Many clients lament that they weren't aware that they could do something to prevent these unsightly veins earlier.”

Maresa Davidson, Executive Director

That is why we talk about prevention as much as treatment. If venous disease runs in your family, or your work keeps you sitting or standing for long stretches, our certified fitters can measure you for compression stockings and help you navigate insurance and brands, well before there is anything to treat.
