New information about Liposonix - Ultrasound Fat Removal

We introduced Liposonix fat removal to our clinic last week and have just had our first two patients come back for their one week follow-up.

Both of them said the treatment itself was mildly uncomfortable - but not anywhere near as bad as any surgery. Both were able to go back to work the next day and - using our perioperative process to reduce pain and bruising - both stopped wearing the compression after a few days.

Both have a few small bruises only on the lower abdomen.

Both patients also said the treated area feels softer, as there is "fluid" under the skin. They are both also passing more urine than usual - presumably the effect of passing the broken down fat out of the body. This is called an "osmotic diuresis".

Using some sophisticated measuring devices at Absolute Aesthetics and The Whiteley Clinic, we have also found out some very useful information showing how effective the Liposonix treatment is. We will keep collecting our figures from our patients and so we will be able to publish our success rates and also some of the science related to getting good results.

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.

LSA - Laser Sweat Ablation - Early success of our improvements to technique

I have just seen the third laser sweat ablation patient treated here at The Whiteley Clinic.

Despite being only 48 hours after her procedure (picture on left 48 hours after surgery), she has minimal bruising, no pain and almost completely normal movement.

The changes in our technique as outlined in the previous post have made a huge difference to the post-operative recovery.

There is no sweating from either arm-pit - but of course this is still very early to be sure that the sweating has gone for good.

The most important finding now is the modification away from the procedure as taught has resulted in a completely different recovery - with almost no pain and bruising at all.

We will be repeating the sweat test in 6 weeks to check exactly how much the sweating has reduced by.
