Dr. Lowell S. Kabnick, MD, FACS, FACPh, internationally recognized leader in the diagnosis and treatment of venous disease, has pioneered the use of several innovative and minimally invasive techniques in the treatment of varicose and spider veins. Approved by the FDA for use in the U.S. in June 2009, Veinwave™ is the latest of these procedures which enables patients to see immediate results. Dr. Kabnick provides services at both his Morristown, NJ facility and at NYU Vein Center in New York City. For the treatment of fine thread veins, known as telangiectasia, small vascular blemishes in the face and hands, and for spider veins in the legs, Veinwave™ is the only treatment of its kind to receive 510k clearance by the FDA. Having been used successfully to treat patients in the UK and throughout Europe since 2001, Veinwave™ utilizes the principle of thermocoagulation, or high-frequency energy, to heat the fine blood vessels causing them to immediately disappear. A sterile, single-use needle delivers these waves. The ultra-fine needle allows for accurate application of the treatment, protecting the skin and tissue, also aiding in the prevention of scarring. Veinwave™ has become the solution of choice for physicians and patients alike for veins that are too fine to be treated endovenously like varicose veins. Dr. Kabnick explained, “Veinwave™ is a safe and effective, out-patient procedure with minimal pain and does not require bandages.” Dr. Kabnick added, “Typically, patients are able to resume normal activity immediately following treatment.”
