Transcript:
Dr. Robert Kratschmer: "Here we are using the Cellulaze
handpiece to treat hyperhidrosis. By
going right underneath the skin after it has been anesthetized we can actually
go in and breakdown a lot of the sweat glands and hopefully will get them to
not produce so much sweat.
"You hear the laser going off and blasting all of the
sweat glands. This procedure is very safe, it will tell us if it gets too hot;
or if we aare not moving it fast enough it will stop the laser so we wont be
able to harm the patient and the skin trauma is very minimal.
"Steve how are you feeling right now doing this?"
Patient: "Fantastic.
No pain, everything's fine."
Dr. Robert Kratschmer: "Just a little bit of stinging
when we put in the tumescent solution but otherwise he's been doing great...
hasn't felt a thing throughout the procedure."
Patient: "I'm pleasantly surprised, honestly."
Dr. Robert Kratschmer: "He was a little nervous when we
started this off but he's been doing pretty well.
"You see the laser is now overheated in that area so we
move it and it starts back up. We are
going to try to concentrate a little more energy here closer into the axilla.
This is where more of the sweat glands are.
"It takes about.. for each side it has taken only about
fifteen minutes or so to deliver the energy.
Actually, we are now complete.
That's it."
