“After searching for so long somewhere that could take care of my acne scars I finally found Dr Kass and made an appointment! Usually for acne scars you have to go through several appointments for different procedures but Dr Kass did it all in one day. He went over what he would do and got me scheduled right away. I was nervous at first because I’m a person of color and thought the peel would be too rough on my skin but he helped me relax. They helped me so much before during and after the procedure!! I did Subscision, PRP, TCA Cross, and a mix a Jessner TCA and hetter peel. And I got the best results ever!! I never thought it was possible for most of my acne scars to disappear but they did!!! After my face peeled seeing my face made me cry. It’s only been a week since my procedure and it’s not even done fully peeling but I’m already so happy with my face!! Definitely recommend!!!”
“Dr. Kass and his entire office are amazing. Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and helpful every single visit. I’ve now done multiple rounds of Silikon 1000 lip enhancement with him and I genuinely love my results more each time. The look is super natural, soft, and beautifully shaped; never overdone. I also love that it’s a permanent option instead of constantly redoing filler. Dr. Kass has such a great eye for balance and natural beauty. Highly recommend if you want lips that still look like YOU, just enhanced”
“After much research & a lot of contemplating, I decided to make a consultation with Dr Kass. From the first phone call till my last visit, his office was nothing short of amazing. Dr Kass explained in detail my procedure, healing process, & gave me realistic expectations.He under promised and overdelived with my results. I am very happy with my facelift & eye bag removal surgeries. I did swell, & he did warn me about swelling, but once it went away I was able to really see his beautiful work. I can't thank Kate, Terra & Amy enough for answering my million and once calls and texts. All around an excellent doctor and staff!”
“When I moved to the Tampa area and was looking for a new provider, Dr. Kass came highly recommended and I have had a great experience with his office! I’ve seen great results with my skin, Dr. Kass is patient with questions and never pushes anything I don’t need, and his office makes it easy to schedule appointments via text! Overall a high quality experience.”
“Dr Kass performed a hetter peel on me. He was kind, patient, and thorough before during and after my procedure. His office staff, especially Kate and Terra were accommodating and patient with my many calls and questions during the healing process. Dr Kass took years off of me. My face not only looks, but feels fresh and rejuvenated. I am elated with the results and highly recommend Dr. Kass and his super star staff to everyone! ”
