Note
Although "Laser Sweat Ablation" or "LSA" has been advertised elsewhere in the UK, the actual Laser Sweat Ablation procedure has only been developed by Mark Whiteley of The Whiteley Clinic. This is being continuously improved and modified on the results of The Whiteley Clinic’s on-going audit and research. To date, no UK doctor has been on the Whiteley Clinic LSA course to learn this technique. Hence any other individual, clinic or hospital in the UK offering "Laser Sweat Ablation" or "LSA" is not using the Whiteley Technique and has not been trained in the settings and techniques that The Whiteley Clinic has shown to be optimal by it’s research.
