CLaCS

Conventional medicine

CLaCS is a treatment for leg vein lesions by combining transdermal laser effect and injection sclerotherapy, all under skin cooling. The laser causes a selective photothermolysis damaging the vein wall. The vein's lumen gets smaller. On a second procedure, sclerosing agent is injected where the vein is still open. This combination can be used treat veins that could be treated by phleboectomy or foam sclerotherapy - more invasive options. To improve results, CLaCS can be guided by Augmented Reality.
