Whiteley Clinic research fellow presents at National meeting

George Badham, one of the Whiteley Clinic Summer Research Fellows from 2010, presented his research today at a National meeting in London.

His research was looking at how to optimise our treatment of Varicose Veins using the new RFiTT device from Celon and Olympus.

This device, that has been used for varicose vein surgery in Europe for some years, has only had success rates of about 90% - which is not good enough for The Whiteley Clinic. It has also associated with difficulty in treating due to the device sticking.

George Badham's research was to look into Mark Whiteley's Theory that the device was fine, but the technique that was being used was wrong.

Using a bench top model, George Badham showed not only that the current technique is flawed but if The Whiteley Clinic method of using RFiTT is used, all of the problems are overcome.

This work has been submitted for publication now - the reference for today's presentation:

Today in the Times, there is an article on Mark Whiteley and the operation he has been developing for under-arm sweating and smell called Laser Sweat Ablation (LSA) - The Times 2 - Body & Soul, Page 8 and 9.

World's first ELSA - Endoscopic Laser Sweat Ablation

This morning Mark Whiteley performed the world's first ELSA - Endoscopic Laser Sweat Ablation.

Having performed the first Laser Sweat Ablation (LSA) in the UK as a permanent cure for under arm sweating in March 2009, Mark and his team at The Whiteley Clinic have been modifying and improving the LSA technique over the last 2 years.

Today saw the unveiling of the latest development - ELSA. Using a keyhole surgery or "endoscopic" camera, Mark and his team were able to monitor the Laser Sweat Ablation procedure, making sure that the treatment was effective as possible.

ELSA should continue to improve the results of this permanent, walk-in walk-out procedure to stop underarm sweating.
