Reduction in price in 2010 - and over 80% reduction in sweating

Well it is Christmas - and we have 2 bits of news to bring festive cheer and an happy new year!!

Firstly, the LSA (laser sweat ablation) has been so successful that we have been able to negotiate some of our costs down for 2010. As such, we can now offer the whole LSA package for £2990 - a saving of £510!!! In addition, this can be paid over 3 months in 3 equal installments.

The package for £2990 includes:

• Preliminary consultation with Mr Mark Whiteley MS FRCS who brought LSA into the UK
• A sweat test to determine the amount of armpit sweating
• The LSA procedure
• Follow up at 1 week if clinically needed
• Additional follow-ups if clinically needed
• At 6 weeks, a further sweat test to check the reduction in sweat production and a final check up

This coincides with our latest findings - that using The Whiteley Clinic method of Laser Sweat Ablation, we are now averaging an over 80% of sweat production from the arm-pit.

A further success for LSA - Laser Sweat Ablation

Dear Mr Whiteley

I wanted to express my thanks to you and your team for my recent laser ablation surgery.
I had always suffered from excessive sweating and it had affected me in many ways. It had a huge effect on my self confidence and made me think very carefully about what clothes I would wear.

My wardrobe mainly consisted of dark clothing and when I first started work, I would often have to use the hand drier in the rest room to dry out my shirt. This was incredibly embarrassing.

I had tried many products including aluminium based deodorants, however, I had never been able to find anything that would actually work.

The most frustrating thing for me would be that having washed and dressed in the morning, by the time I would leave the house I would already have large sweat patches under both arms.
I would worry about friends and colleagues noticing my problem and felt that this added anxiety made me sweat even more.

I feel that my GP didn't take the issue seriously, he prescribed me beta blockers which did absolutely nothing for me. I later found out that these were not suitable for someone of my age.
I had considered botox but didn't like the idea of having to have further injections every 6 months or so.

I was initially worried about the LSA procedure but having had the first consultation, and having heard of the results of previous patients, I knew it was the best option for me.
The surgery itself wasn't even half as bad as I thought it might be and feel silly for having worried about this at all. June, Carrie and Dee were a great help and kept my mind off the procedure.

I wore the compression garment for four days and was able to sleep as normal.
The skin did become quite lumpy afterwards and I would get the occasional pain when stretching out to reach something. However, after six weeks my skin was back to normal and it is as though I had never even had the procedure.

I haven't noticed any sweat since and was very pleased to hear that my sweating has been reduced by 90% on my right arm pit and 100% on my left!

These results were again confirmed during my final iodine test at The Whiteley Clinic.

I no longer have to think about what I wear and can look forward to my wedding next year without worrying about sweat patches!

A massive thank you to you and everyone at The Whiteley Clinic. I hope that this procedure continues to be a success and is able to help many more people overcome this embarrassing condition.

Kind regards

Over 90% reduction of arm pit sweating

This afternoon we had the 6 week follow up of a 27 year old man.

He had his LSA at The Whiteley Clinic 6 weeks ago and has had no sweating at all since. The area felt a little "lumpy" for 3-4 weeks but there was no skin breakdown nor any other problem.

He didn't have any time off work.

On testing today, his right armpit has 100% less sweat (no sweating at all) and on the left, a reduction of 90%.

He is very pleased with his new dry axilla and is writing a testimonial about his experience.

New testimonial from a happy LSA patient

This has just come through from a patient who had LSA (Laser Sweat Ablation) at The Whiteley Clinic.

He was a 3 year old gentleman who had been suffering from Axillary Hyperhidrosis (sweating from his arm-pits):

“Since I saw you week last Friday, the only thing that has changed has been my confidence that having this operation was the best decision I have ever made.

I simply can’t describe how it has changed my life, and whilst I know that my hyperhidrosis wasn’t as bad as that experienced by some, as far as I was concerned it was!

To describe my experience for others thinking about it:

The operation – Was far less painful or uncomfortable that I was expecting, even the administration of the local anaesthetic wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be. You and your team were genuinely very helpful and friendly throughout, including recognising me and chatting when I came back for check ups.

The days after the operation – I agree the compression jacket wasn’t exactly comfortable, and I fed back to you a change that I’m sure will help future patients, but could have been much worse. I am a light sleeper anyway so no real change on that front, couple of nurofen every 4-6 hours for 48 hours and all was well, no serious pain at all. I removed the compression jacket after 48 hours and noticed the grazing you mentioned online. This weaped a little for the next 24 hours but nothing to worry about, I kept it clean and dry with antiseptic wipes for the next 7-10 days and it healed exactly as you said it would.

The weeks after the operation – Due to the grazing I held off a little longer before having a proper shower with the shower head above my head, it was a very enjoyable day when I decided to go back to normal! Otherwise with the exception of ensuring I remember to stretch each morning and night the day to day health impact has been zero.

The change! – I can’t describe the impact it has had on my life, as another patient mentioned, I have done the same and bought almost a whole new wardrobe of shirts and suits knowing that I won’t ruin them anymore. My confidence in both my day to day work and home life has changed immeasurably, I presented to a couple of hundred people the other day, a task I would previously have hated, but now relished the challenge.

A huge thank you for developing and bringing this operation to the UK!”
