Dr Vera Nikolic

With over 30 years of experience in the medical field, our much loved lead clinician Dr Vera Nikolic is following her passion by combining medicine with aesthetics! With attention to detail, Dr Vera will work closely with you to reach your desired results, making sure you feel comfortable during the entire process.
Dr Vera Nikolic has been focused on women’s health for the past 35 years with 10 of those spent serving the local community working as the principal GP and owner of Pakenham Family Health. In recent years she has developed a passion for aesthetic medicine and has realised that recent developments in laser technology are now delivering a longer lasting and scientifically proven method of restoring the natural beauty of the skin.

Unlike traditional treatments such as dermabrasion and chemical peels, the unique characteristics of laser skin resurfacing allow more accurate and precise control over the treatment process.
Dr Nikolic has developed a keen interest in the medical use of laser to treat common problems that impact on her patient’s quality of life. With the help of state of the art Fotona laser, Dr Nikolic can now treat a number of gynaecological issues women suffer from, such as incontinence and vaginal prolapse, as well as other common conditions such as snoring, spider veins and onychomycosis.

In addition to cosmetic injectables, Dr Vera also has a strong passion for Medical Laser Treatments which include Snoring & Vaginal Rejuvenation.

Mariana Fak

Mariana’s background is in teaching and journalism. She fell into medical practice management when in 2010 they opened Pakenham Family Health, a GP clinic in Pakenham, which has over the years grown to be one of the largest medical clinics in Pakenham and surrounding suburbs. Together with Dr Vera she became fascinated with the endless treatment options available through laser procedures, as well as the science behind this ever-expanding technology. It only made sense that, together with Marina they got together and start Astra Laser Clinic for Aesthetic Medicine.
