Today one of our laser sweat ablation patients who had LSA for bromidrosis, returned to The Whiteley Clinic for her follow-up.
A 34-year-old office worker, she came to The Whiteley Clinic for assessment of her under arm sweating and smell in August 2010. She was diagnosed with bromidrosis (smelly sticky sweat from the under arms) and several non-surgical techniques were attempted.
As no other treatment worked, and as her partner was able to smell the bromidrosis to, we decided that it was worth trying laser sweat ablation for her problem.
In November she underwent laser sweat ablation (LSA) at The Whiteley Clinic using the new Whiteley LSA cannula and had a complication free recovery.
Today, eight weeks later, she returned to The Whiteley Clinic for review.
She stated that it was "the best money I have ever spent" and that it has "totally changed her life".
Before the LSA, she used to get up in the morning and a shower followed by washing the armpits with an antibacterial wash. She would then use deodorant before leaving home but, despite this, would still start getting the smell from the armpits permeating through her clothes by the end of the day.
Now she says that she could go the whole day without a shower knowing that she would not have any smell at all to trouble her.
Without the concern of whether she has odour from the underarms, she is now able to concentrate fully on her life and work. Thanks to laser sweat ablation using the Whiteley LSA cannula she should be able to put this whole episode behind her.
