Kass Clinic offers a wide range of non-surgical treatments to effectively address varicose veins and spider veins.
Compression Therapy
This utilizes graduated medical compression stockings to increase the blood flow reducing swelling, pain and fatigue. These stockings are by prescription only and must be carefully measured to your leg to provide the correct compression. We stock a variety of styles and colors, and our staff is certified to fit you.
Sclerotherapy
Considered the "Gold Standard," a solution is injected causing the vein to be absorbed by the body naturally. No anesthetic is required and patients resume their normal activities immediately.
Foam Sclerotherapy
This new treatment utilizes a special preparation of sclerosant to treat veins more effectively requiring fewer treatment sessions. If indicated it may also be used on larger veins that previously required surgery.
Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy
Using advanced ultrasound imaging, Dr. Kass uses a "venous map" to selectively treat veins below the surface that were once only treatable by surgery.
Laser Therapy
Laser is utilized to coagulate the veins causing them to dissolve. While not effective on legs, laser is very useful for the treatment of facial spider veins.
Ambulatory Phlebectomy
An office-based minor surgical procedure to remove large varicose veins through pinhole punctures under local anesthesia. It does not usually require sutures, minimizing any scarring, and patients resume normal activities right away.
VNUS® Closure® and EVLT™
Utilizing radio frequency or laser technology, these procedures seal large veins and provide an effective alternative to “vein stripping” which requires surgery, anesthesia, considerable pain and extended recovery. Performed in-office with a local anesthetic, Dr. Kass is one of a few physicians in the country to offer both technologies.
