Laser Sweat Ablation - Further improvements



Well it has been a very busy summer - hence no posts for a while.

There is a lot of research activity into Laser Sweat Ablation going on behind the scenes at The Whiteley Clinic - but as with all things, it is taking longer than thought to get the research projects and approvals through the system and started.

However most of our patients are having very good results - with just one or two having problems.

Sophie Strong, our research fellow this summer, has done a fantastic job in starting to identify the people who are most likely to get good results from LSA. Therefore, in our preliminary sweat test, we are now able to tell those people who are more suitable for LSA and those who are more suitable for other treatments.

Of course we provide many other treatments at The Whiteley Clinic so we can usually help those people who aren't suitable for LSA.

Today I saw our latest patient to have LSA - she is 32 years old and had:




  • 97% reduction of sweating from right axilla (arm-pit)


  • 96% reduction of sweating from left axilla (arm-pit)
