Introducing the newest addition to the GVSL treatment room - The Stellar M22 XPL by @lumenis.
What`s different? One versatile handpiece with 8 expert filters and 3 lightguides means treatments can be tailored more precisely to your skin type and concerns, whether that`s redness, pigmentation, acne, ageing or general skin texture.
It also uses sub-pulsing technology to deliver energy in rapid micropulses, plus a new Glide Mode for faster, more efficient coverage of larger areas.
Ask us at your next appointment how XPL could fit into your treatment plan.
Why does GVSL have so many lasers?
Because no two skin conditions are the same.
Different lasers use different wavelengths and technologies to target specific concerns. Whether you`re treating pigmentation, redness, acne scars, unwanted hair or signs of ageing, using the right laser is key to achieving the desired outcome.
That`s why our experienced medical team will assess your skin and recommend the laser treatment that`s best for your individual concerns and skin type.
Book a consultation to discover which laser is right for you.
Dull, uneven or congested skin? A chemical peel might be just what you need!
Chemical peels work by gently exfoliating the surface of the skin to support a smoother, brighter, more even complexion over time.
Depending on your skin and concerns, a peel may help with concerns like:
- Uneven tone and pigmentation
- Congestion and breakouts
- The appearance of acne marks
- Texture and dullness
- Supporting collagen and overall skin health
Everyone`s skin is different, which is why we always start with a consultation to work out which peel is the right fit for you.
Our dermal clinicians can talk you through your options and build a plan for your skin, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Book a consultation to find out more.

Spider veins on the legs are incredibly common, and they`re treatable.
Sclerotherapy is considered the gold standard treatment for many leg spider veins. It works by injecting a specialised solution directly into the affected vein, causing it to collapse and gradually be reabsorbed by the body. Over time, the treated vein fades from view.
✨ Swipe to see this patient`s before & after.

Laser treatment can be used to target benign flat brown spots by breaking down excess pigment in the skin, allowing it to gradually fade and be naturally cleared by the body.
Every treatment starts with a medical assessment to ensure it’s appropriate for your skin type and the lesion being treated.
Results and suitability vary, and not all moles or pigmentation are suitable for laser removal.

GVSL has been a doctor led clinic in Geelong since 1991. But what does doctor led mean?
Dr Barbra Ward is the medical director and owner of GVSL. Alongside three other medical doctors, she helps ensure every treatment is grounded in evidence-based medicine, with patient safety always the priority.
All consultations and treatments are based on a medical framework of evidence for safety and effectiveness, with full and thorough medical history, examination and consultation with patients.
From your initial consultation through to treatment planning, every recommendation is backed by a thorough medical history, examination and assessment. This medical framework ensures treatments are not only effective, but safe and appropriate for each individual patient.

Dull skin? Persistent breakouts? Uneven tone?
A chemical peel might be exactly what your skin needs.
There’s no one-size-fits-all here. The right peel depends on your skin, your concerns and your goals, which is why we always start with a proper assessment.
Book a consultation and find the peel that’s right for you.

Acne can be persistent, especially when it’s driven by inflammation, excess oil production and acne-causing bacteria deep within the skin.
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a treatment option for moderate to more stubborn acne. It works by applying a light-sensitive solution to the skin, which is then activated with a specific light source. This process targets overactive sebaceous (oil) glands and helps reduce the bacteria involved in acne formation, while also calming inflammation.
✨ Swipe to see the before & after.
Results vary depending on acne severity, skin type and individual response to treatment, and multiple sessions may be recommended as part of a structured treatment plan.

This is the step most people skip when buying compression stockings.
Before starting compression therapy, it’s important to assess your circulation with an ABI (Ankle Brachial Index) test. This quick, non-invasive test helps determine whether compression stockings are safe and appropriate for you, and what level of compression may be recommended.
At GVSL, every treatment recommendation starts with a thorough assessment, ensuring your care is tailored to your individual needs.
Have questions about compression therapy or vein health? Contact our team to book an assessment.

Concerned about a mole or skin spot?
Skin changes deserve expert eyes. At GVSL, our doctors assess and treat a range of skin lesions with care, precision and clinical experience.
Everyones skin is different, which is why every treatment starts with a proper consultation.
GVSL is a doctor led clinic since 1991.

Burning. Grittiness. That tired, watery, can`t-quite-focus feeling.
Dry eye is more common than most people realise and for many, it quietly chips away at everyday comfort.
We`re now offering TriLift as a non-invasive option that supports some of the underlying factors behind dry eye, particularly blink strength, eyelid muscle function and the oil glands that keep your tears from evaporating too quickly.
No injections. No downtime.
Book your consultation via the link in bio or call (03) 5229 6866.
Results vary between individuals. A consultation is required to determine suitability.
What actually happens when we laser a mole? 👇
At GVSL, we have several laser options, chosen depending on the specific type of brown skin lesion.
But here`s what makes our approach different: every spot is assessed and diagnosed by one of our doctors before any treatment takes place.
Cleared by the doctor and non-cancerous? Laser may be the right option. Symptomatic or suspicious? Our doctors will discuss excision and, where needed send the sample to pathology.
The right treatment starts with the right diagnosis.

Earlier this week Dr Barbra Ward travelled to the @lumenis_apac_aesthetic summit in Seoul, Korea, where she was able to discuss and compare CO2 laser techniques with leading doctors from Korea and the US. She attended the @lumenis_korea headquarters to see the latest IPL device - Stellar XPL in action, and also saw demonstrations of XPL and laser at @lebelleclinic_cheongdam_jp with Dr Ethan Wonuk Hwang. TriLift (which we’ve known and loved for nearly 2 years) was launched in Korea at this event. A very productive few days! Thank you @lumenis_aesthetics_au! #geelonglaser #co2laser #xpl #trilift #lumenism22
