Elizabeth Vrachimi
Founder and Practice Manager at Dr Vas.
Elizabeth founded Dr Vas clinic based on her own desire to tackle her fine lines.
She wanted firstly natural, subtle results, administered in a clinical environment by a medical practitioner locally and competitively priced.
Unable to find anywhere that fit the criteria she asked her husband Dr Vas, at the time a full time GP, to train in antiwrinkle injections.
Elizabeth’s background was in sales, customer service and marketing but she also has a keen interest in design.
Using her skill sets, she has created a welcoming, aesthetically pleasing environment within the clinic.
Alongside a raison d’etre of providing nothing but an excellent experience for all, she passionately believes in providing the service she would hope to receive as a client.
