Dr. Melanie Sung

Dr Melanie Sung is a Phlebologist and Cosmetic Physician with a special interest in the diagnosis and treatment of venous disease, including varicose veins, vascular lasers, and minimally invasive vein procedures. Her main interest is understanding each patient well in order to tailor an individualised treatment programme best suited to their concerns, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

Dr Mel is one of a small cohort of females to undertake formal training in phlebology (a branch of medicine specialising in veins) and is a Fellow and Certified Phlebologist by the Australasian College of Phlebology. Using the latest non-surgical and minimally invasive technology, Dr Mel brings together professional expertise and innovative treatments helping her patients to live healthier lives free from advanced vein disease and conditions including varicose veins, spider veins, lymphoedema, venous eczema and leg ulcers. Using the latest and safest non-surgical and minimally invasive technology, Dr Mel strives to achieve the best outcomes both medically and aesthetically for her patients without the need for surgery, lengthy hospital admission and painful recovery times.

Dr Melanie believes a well-considered treatment plan should be holistic and take into account individual circumstances, listening and working with her patients and offering unbiased advice, Dr Melanie is able to develop bespoke treatment plans individualised to each patient. Dr Mel is a passionate, friendly, and caring medical practitioner who is dedicated to provide outstanding care for her patients. She strives to bring together the latest non-surgical techniques in a friendly and professional environment.

Dr Mel’s time within her private practice has afforded her great insight and understanding into the many challenges patients face when seeking care for the treatment of their vein conditions. Because of this, it has been her goal to establish a more accessible locally based service for Canberrans and those within surrounding communities.

Through Canberra Vein Care by THE R CLINIC, Dr Melanie offers multiple state-of-art, non-surgical varicose vein treatments tailored to your condition with comprehensive aftercare for her patients.

Dr Melanie Sung also offers services in comprehensive facial assessment and personalised aesthetic treatment planning, including procedures designed to support facial balance, skin quality, and collagen stimulation. With access to an extensive range of laser platforms and radiofrequency devices — likely one of the most comprehensive collections available within a clinic setting — she is able to combine the most suitable technologies according to each patient’s specific concerns, rather than being limited to one or two energy-based devices alone.

She provides treatments for concerns such as acne, pigmentation, sunspots, age spots, melasma, rosacea, redness, and skin rejuvenation. Dr Melanie also offers laser skin rejuvenation treatments and can prescribe tailored cosmeceutical programmes designed to complement in-clinic procedures and support long-term skin health.
