Today an article on the modern trend to drink far too much water was published with one of the consequences - excessive sweating. Normal people do NOT need 2 - 3 liters of water per day IN ADDITION to all of the water they get from their food and other drinks. However, you can't go through town without seeing someone taking a water bottle out of their bag and taking a swig every few minutes.

Laser Sweat Ablation - LSA - Further Update
Our 3rd and 4th patients who have had Laser Sweat Ablation came to The Whiteley Clinic to be seen for their one week follow up today.
The third patient is a young lady who is actually 9 days post procedure today - (see photo).
The hair of her arm pits has fallen out as expected and she has not had any sweating from the armpits at all since the operation - although the official test will be performed at 6 weeks post procedure.
She has full range of movements of her arms without problems and the only adverse thing she has noticed so far is that the area has a few lumps under the skin - which is normal in the early stages after an operation.
The patient is back to a fully normal life - and has been for several days now. She will now not need to be seen again until her 6 week follow-up and sweat test.
The 4th patient is a young man who had very severe sweating. He had to come back today (third day after the operation) as I am away presenting research for the rest of the week.
He has had a bit more bruising - particularly of his left arm pit - the right one has very little bruising.
He took of his compression garment yesterday and some of the redness is left over from the compression.
He hasn't felt any sweating from either arm-pit and has good range of movements of both arms. He only needed some pain-killers the day after the surgery.
We are going to call him back to check him in a week or so but, as with all of our patients, he can call us at any time should a problem develop.
Interestingly, I have noticed another clinic in the South East offering "Laser Sweat Ablation". It is a GP run clinic and certainly the practitioner was not trained here.
As we introduced the procedure to the UK, and are still perfecting it, I would suggest anyone interested in having LSA - Laser Sweat Ablation - be very careful as to who is offering it and exactly what their training is - and what their results are.

Laser Sweat Ablation - LSA
Yesterday (9th March 2009) I performed the first Laser Sweat Ablation (LSA) operation in the UK at The Whiteley Clinic, Guildford.
The procedure had been announced in The Mail on Sunday on 8th March followed by the Telegraph website and in the Daily Star on Monday 9th March.
The laser sweat ablation procedure was invented by a brilliant plastic surgeon in Buenos Aires, Argentina called Dr Guillermo Blugerman who pioneered it in 2002. Guillermo is on the left of this picture.
He runs the B&S Clinica (http://www.clinicabys.com/) and he trained me in his procedure when I visited his clinic in 2008.
The operation went very well and the patient, Richard, walked home shortly after it.
The procedure was filmed and a reporter from the Surrey Advertiser was present throughout it.
Richard is going back to work on Thursday - 2 and a half days after the operation.
I explained about the operation live on BBC radio Essex this morning and was on Radio Southern Counties on Drive-Time today.
