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.
