Welcome to the The Sweating Website. This site deals with excessive sweating - otherwise known as hyperhidrosis. In this site I will go through current understanding and treatments available for this condition.

Mr Mark Whiteley is introducing the revolutionary Laser Sweat Ablation (LSA) operation to the UK.

This local anaesthetic walk-in walk-out surgery procedure for underarm sweating is due to be introduced to The Whiteley Clinic in February 2009. We are currently seeing patients who wish to be considered for this procedure.

Liposuction for arm-pit sweating (also known as liposuction for Axillary hyperhidrosis) is a technique for sucking the sweat glands out of the arm-pits (axilla). It has now been superseded by the Laser Sweat Ablation.
