Today Mark Whiteley of The Whiteley Clinic performed the first ELSA operation in the world.
Mark developed this from the standard LSA operation as part of his ongoing research into improving and perfecting laser sweat ablation to treat axillary hyperhidrosis (underarm sweating).
The results of the LSA operation have been improving considerably over the last nine months with the introduction of some new developments that Mark Whiteley and his research fellow, Sophie Strong, have been identifying.
One of these was the introduction of an endoscope so that the laser sweat ablation operation can be viewed as it is being performed.
The ability to see the surgery and the effects of the different parts of the procedure are enabling us to understand the laser sweat ablation procedure more fully. This in turn will of course help us to reduce any complications was making the procedure as effective as possible.
The ELSA procedure is being written up for publication in peer-reviewed journals and will be presented internationally and nationally later this year. In addition the website www.ELSA.co.uk will be launched with information about this new procedure soon.
Hello there,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you have heard of this new procedure with the Slimlipo machine. It also works with laser and is used to treat hyperhidrosis. It's no a yag laser as far as i know. I was wondering if you've heard of it, and if so what you think of it.
Greetings from Holland.
