Dr Anuya’s new Cosmetic and Veins Clinic is now open in Tauranga

This month sees Dr Anuya Deshpande opening the Cosmetic & Veins Clinic opposite Promed House on 10th Avenue, Tauranga. After 18 months working in several clinics in Tauranga and Papamoa, Anuya says she will be delighted to have a permanent base for her cosmetic medical and varicose veins treatments, as well as some brand new state-of-the-art medical equipment she recently purchased.

With over 14 years’ experience in cosmetic medicine, Dr Anuya’s aim is to help her patients achieve safe, effective, long-term, natural results. She says she starts by getting people’s focus off their lines, wrinkles and lips, and seeing the whole person.

“That first consultation is so important, and as a rule, I don’t treat patients the first time I see them, for veins or cosmetic medicine. We discuss their issues and options, then put together a treatment plan to suit them.

“Everything on a person’s face relates to everything else, so balance – which is different to symmetry – is vital. We look at a person as a whole, and can then reduce distracting features that may make them appear tired, angry or aged. There is also an emotional aspect to patients’ cosmetic concerns that I take time to understand.”

Ongoing professional training is vital to Anuya and she seeks to gain mastery of as many techniques and products as possible in order to help her patients achieve their treatment plan goals. This month she flies to Korea to train alongside leading doctors, perfecting non-surgical face-lifting techniques using threads, high–intensity frequency ultrasound and injectables.

During the previous 12 months, she has attended conferences in Sydney, Queenstown, Auckland and Melbourne, and next year plans to study towards a Fellowship with the Australasian College of Phlebology (varicose vein treatments), which will qualify her to train other doctors in ultrasound-guided varicose vein treatments.

Although she now has a permanent base in Tauranga, Anuya will continue to offer her Papamoa patients the option of cosmetic treatments at Porcelain Skin in Papamoa Plaza and varicose vein treatment at Bay Radiology in Fashion Island.
