CS none.
Having the ETS procedure was 100% worth it. My face hasn't been
red since the surgery. Its nice not to worry about my face getting
red when speaking in public, getting angry or working out. My face
would be beaming after a hard workout, people would ask me if I
was okay. Now I don't see any redness at all and its so nice. My
hands don't sweat anymore, which wasn't a problem for me before.
They do get a little dry sometimes, nothing crazy. My feet did
sweat a lot right after surgery but as time goes on they are not
sweating so much. I haven't had any compensatory sweating at all
so far (knock on wood). - Danica (Texas)

I'm more confidant in social situations and don't have to worry
about blushing on a daily basis. Blushing was taking over my life
before surgery and now I just have the occasional facial flushing
on hot days. - Anne (Oklahoma)

Hyperpyrexia. CS, lower back, belly,underarms not too bad overall.
Now I stress about other things haha. It has definitely improved
my symptoms. I think I still blush a little bit and I’m still a
little self-conscious it has greatly improved. The dryness of my
hands can be a nuisance but it’s a small price to pay. -

Rosacea. CS minimal. Only on a HOT summer day.
I want to start
by saying Dr. Nielson is an absolute life saver. There is truly
no Dr. like him that you will find anywhere else. He is so knowledgeable,
has terrific bed side manor, truly cares about you and your story
and guides you from pre-op, surgery, to post-op. Everyone in his
office also has been so comforting, supportive and reassuring.
I highly recommend seeing Dr. Nielson if you are suffering with
hyperpyrexia/intense facial flushing. I had very, very severe hyperpyrexia.
I could not sleep without having a fan directly on my face, couldn't
walk outside on a warm day without turning scalding red, workout,
laugh, etc. I would say after 6 months I am about 70% better. With
the help of this surgery, I was able to come off all medicine.
I was taking doxycycline, clonidine and inderal multiple times
a day, which made me dizzy and lethargic. I am now able to sleep
with no fan on. I can workout again. I am not avoiding social settings
like I used to. I still am not 100% free of this but can feel it
getting much better each month. I still turn pink going into very
warm rooms or very hot days. But not scalding red. I still wake
up red in the morning if I drank alcohol and have a strict diet.
Overall so much better and looking forward to continued improvement. -

It's amazing. I can now thrive in situations that

CS back, stomach, legs severe in summer.
The sweating this summer in Houston was severe. Just standing outside
my clothes would be soaked in 10 minutes. It was hard to do anything
outside as i would dehydrate so fast. As fall and winter came it
is not a problem but I am not looking forward to next summer and
that was always my favorite time of year. For the facial blushing
it eliminated maybe half of what would make it trigger, but there
are still times I can feel it and have seen it in a mirror. That is frustrating
because of the irreversible procedure that did not fix 100% what the problem
was. - Steve (Texas)

Overall the surgery was a very successful. I do not have an issue

suprised, etc. . . I
do still get it in the heat along with the compensatory sweating which was expected.
Humid conditions trigger it as well.

Much much better . . . . It has been improving more and more since
the surgery. There were some problems following the surgery that
have gone away. So, for anyone having the surgery, they should
know not to necessarily expect everything to be perfect right after
the surgery, or even six months after. For me, it has continued
to improve.

I'm a 67 year old male born in South America. Around my teenage years I started
to perspire under my armpits, hands and forehead, excessively, especially if
I was nervous or tense. I will also blush easily. I continued to have this problem
all my life. Sometime around the mid ninenteen eighties, I decided to consult
a doctor about surgery to stop the sweating under my armpits. I was told that
this type of surgery, was performed only on people that had a very extreme case,
such as soldiers badly injured in a war, that resulted in a situation where perspiration
was twentyfour hours a day, and there was no gurantee that surgery will correct
the problem. It was also expensive and recuperation painful.
I was discouraged from taking a risk. In 1999 I bought my first computer, and
one day while surfing on the internet, by accident I saw an article related to
people that had a serious perspiration problem and how they cured it. After reading
several letters from patients that had this procedure and the results were positive,
I became interested, and after reading a background of Dr. Nielson's experience
I decided to call him to ask if I was a candidate for surgery. He asked me some
questions about my health, some tests were conducted and he said that I could
have surgery if I wished, but he also said that as any surgery, there is also
a risk involved, and the results could not be as expected.
I decided to take a chance because because Dr. Nielson is the best and had already
performed many operations, and a large percent of his patients were happy with
the results. I had my surgery in 1999 and I'm very happy because it change my
life for the best. I have conpensatory sweating around the chest area, but only
occurs if I'm in a place where the temperature is in the high 80s or humidity
is very high.
Based in my own experience, I recommend Dr. Nielson because I remember the time
I spoke to him on the phone and during my surgery before and after, and he shows
compassion and care for people. I am very happy with the results of my surgery
because it changed my life for the best. GOD bless him many more years, so he
can help other people that suffer with a perspiration problem." -

Condition(s) Treated: Facial Flushing
Hi Dr. Nielson,
Sorry for the delay, I just found your email in my spam
box. The surgery has been very successful. I have not had a single instance of
flushing since the surgery, other than the temperature being very hot. I have
been in many situations that would have prior to the surgery been very difficult
for me. I have gone from flushing in almost any scenario where I was surprised
or even slightly stressed (or even not stressed) to not even thinking about it.
I have had what I consider a significant amount of compensatory sweating. From
the shoulders down to the back of my knees, I sweat a lot. I have tried hydrosol
with very limited success. I sweat through my shirt front and back fairly easily
in 80+ degree or humid conditions. Even now sitting at my desk I feel like I
could start sweating, a damp skin feeling chest down (not really the armpits
though). If you have any ideas on how to combat the sweating, I would be very
appreciative.
One other thing we discussed was my blood pressure. I rarely take
my blood pressure medicine anymore. I do not track it but I can say I don't feel
the need to take it. I don't get the head rush that came with the flushing. I
do get a sinking feeling in my stomach on a regular basis. Situations as simple
as remembering I didn't send an email or seeing my kids fall, but again I still
on a regular basis (many times a day). The difference there is flushing and head
rush doesn't come with that sinking stomach feeling. I think that is an anxiety
issue that would need to be addressed another way.
Overall, I am very happy with
the results. No longer flushing has been pretty incredible.
Thanks! Andrew

Hi Dr. Neilson,
I had ETS surgery with you 9 years ago. So far this surgery has
been a huge success. I do experience Gustatory sweating which I
am considering treating with Botulinum Toxin injections, but my main question
is about compensatory sweating. I suffered with this quite severely
the first few years after the surgery, but it appears to have resolved
itself and if I have it now, it's very mild. - Keri

I am doing awesome. I can be out in hot weather
without my face burning and without turning red. I worked out with
my trainer yesterday, and he could not believe how strong I was.
He said he didn’t know if he was working me hard enough because
I wasn’t sweating. My head did not feel like it was going to “pop
off” after my work out. I feel like my core temperature is so much
cooler. I have a slight increase in sweating in my lower back,
but it is totally acceptable. I now feel like I can go to college
with so much confidence. I know my face is NOT going to turn bright
red while I’m sitting in class. My anxiety is gone! I am so thankful
my parents listened to me and provided a way to make this happen.
I am so thankful for Dr. Nielson and his expertise on this condition.
I feel like I have my life back. (Patient)

I had the Micro
ETS procedure performed by Dr. Nielson this past March! The primary
reason for me having ETS was because I suffered from Hyperhidrosis,
extreme sweating of my hands and feet being the worst. It was a
very embarrassing condition. The sweating would begin for a variety
of reasons and sometimes it seemed it began for no reason at all.
I could feel the sensation that I was about to have "an episode" coming
on and there was nothing I could do about it. The more I thought
about what was happening, the more upset/anxious I became. The
sweating would soon take over my body and the facial blushing would
kick in. The facial blushing I experienced was a result of being
embarrassed about my Hyperhidrosis and not wanting anyone to find
out about my condition.
Hyperhidrosis had taken control of my life
and I was not the person I wanted to be because of it. I had suffered
my entire life and had spent my entire life coming off as shy and/or
rude because I feared what people would say/think if they found
out about my condition, so I didn't talk to people. I avoided meeting
people/talking to people at all costs. In fact, I avoided any situation
where I might have to talk to someone else or attention might be
drawn to me. I had to literally talk myself into even going to
the grocery store, because I was so scared someone would notice
my sweaty hands and make a comment. I had heard comments about
my sweaty hands my entire life and they were so hurtful. I can't
tell you the number of hours I spent crying over my condition and
wishing for a "new life."
I do not know your individual
circumstance, but if you also suffer from Hyperhidrosis, I can
give you more detailed examples of what I went through pre-ETS
and the differences post-ETS if you would like, but I will tell
you, Dr. Nielson and ETS changed my life in the most positive way!
Dr. Nielson and ETS gave me the "new life" I wanted!
I am so incredibly thankful I had the procedure. I am able to live
a "normal" life now! The sweating of my hands is completely
gone! I vary rarely have any sweating on my feet and even when
I do, it is very minimal. I do have some compensatory sweating
on my chest and lower back area, but I hesitate to even label it
CS as it only happens when I am in muggy/humid/hot environments,
when it is normal to sweat anyway. I have not had any facial blushing
at all post-ETS.
My life has become so incredibly busy now, because I am constantly
out doing things and getting involved. I am constantly taking my
daughter to story time/ music class/the park, volunteering, attending
social events, etc...all things I would never had done before ETS.
I dreaded going anywhere before ETS. One of the best moments of
being a mom to a almost 1 year old is being able to hold my little
girl close and rock her to sleep. Before ETS, I couldn't do that,
because my hands would leave her clothes soaked. I also love walking
holding her hand. I never held anyone's hand prior to ETS, because
the sweating was so embarrassing. I love that I don’t have to pull
away when she reaches for my hand. Because of Dr. Nielson and the
ETS procedure he performed on me, I have been able to be the person
I always wanted to be. I am able to do whatever I want to do, go
wherever I want to be, and not feel any hesitation or embarrassment.
It feels like a weight I carried my entire life has finally been
lifted. It is the most amazing feeling. I will forever be grateful
for Dr. Nielson and his ETS procedure.
I would advise you to do a lot of research before
making the decision about if you should have Micro ETS, so you
know what to expect and also what the possible risks are. That
being said, I also want to warn you that you will read a lot of
very scary stories online. I scheduled my ETS surgery after many
years of research and I almost canceled at the last minute due
to horror stories I read online. If you are hesitant about any
part of the ETS procedure, I would suggest you write down your
questions and talk with Dr. Nielson. He is wonderful at answering
questions completely and honestly. In fact, Dr. Nielson was great
through the entire process. He was wonderful, as was his staff.
I trust Dr. Nielson fully and believe he is a great doctor and
person. I definitely recommend Micro-ETS by Dr. Nielson! (Kansas

Hello, Doctor,
March 12, 2011
I can't say enough about
the procedure or the team. I am 51 years
old and have struggled with facial blushing since high school.
It is always "lurking" in the background,
causing worry that keeps you from focusing fully on what ever the
task at hand is. I am very fair skinned so my face can still turn
red when it is hot, cold, etc. However the socially induced blushing
disappeared with the surgery. It was immediate and complete. I
do sweat a fair amount now over my entire body from the chest down,
particularly under the arms. I consider it a minor thing given
the relief experienced from the blushing.You were wonderful before,
during, and after the surgery. I only wish I had found you decades
ago. Best regards, (Ohio Patient)

Dr. Nielson,
Thank you so much for changing my life. I'm sure you can understand
how grateful I am that you were able to stop my HH/FB
(facial blushing). I'm so much more confident & out-going
now and wasn't that way before the ETS. I can do things (like
knitting!) that I couldn't do before with sweaty hands. I can
wear the clothes/colors that I want to wear. I can shake hands
with people without dreading the sweaty palm "wince" when
they'd touch my hands. No more red face when
speaking in front of people. I could go on & on and I'm sure
you've heard this story from many patients.
I wish you nothing but the best. I can't say THANK YOU enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I cannot begin to describe the difference
I have already experienced just a week after surgery. I don't think I truly
realized just how much anxiety I was carrying around until it was gone. I
feel like a new person and I can't wait to start jumping head first into situations
I would have shyed away from before. You and your staff were wonderful! I
couldn't have asked for a better experience! And thank you again for further
lowering the cost of the surgery - my parents had to go into their retirement
to help me out with this and it made a big difference. It was very kind
and generous of you. I would be more than happy to talk to any potential
patients or write a testimonial on what a positive life changing event this has
been. A thousand thanks for everything! Sincerely, Shelley (Florida

Dear Dr. Nielson and staff,
It has been almost 3 months since my surgery. I was waiting
for a while before I wrote this letter to see how I was doing.
I wanted to thank you and your staff for changing my life. After
30 years of severe facial and scalp sweating and blushing,
I can now say that I feel completely cured. I have been in numerous
situations where, in the past, I would be red and sweaty and now,
not a drop. I haven't even felt the blushing.
It is absolutely amazing. The comp sweating that I have is moderate
and only when I'm very hot. I can live with that. That is something
I can cover up and deal with. And besides, unless it's very hot,
I don't get it. In general, I am completely dry all day at work
and I even wear a suit and tie.
This has been a lifesaver for me. I feel like a different person.
I can go anywhere and do anything without fear. I am in a profession
where I do a lot of public speaking and now I do not have to worry
about the embarrassment from sweating.
I took a chance with you Dr. Nielson. I came all the way from VA
and you did not let me down. The surgery was so easy, I only took
a couple Advil that same night. I am back to running and feeling
great. I don't know how to thank you enough. You have an outstanding
staff. They made me feel so comfortable and are always there to
answer questions. I am recommending you to anyone that is interested.
It would be crazy to go to someone else.
Thank you for helping me enjoy life again.
Sincerely, (Patient) PhD
Dr. Nielson,

I had ETS by Dr. Nielson for facial blushing and cold
hands almost 7 years ago. Every now and then I think
I should send you a note to say what a difference it has made in
my life, but then I forget. I haven’t had to deal with
these problems since my surgery and I hardly even think about it
now. What a wonderful thing!? In really hot weather
my back sweats and when I eat certain foods (not many..mostly very
sweet desserts) I feel like part of my face is clammy—these
side effects (I believe they began after the surgery) are just
enough to remind me of what I had to deal with before surgery and
make me appreciate how much easier my life is now. Thank
you! (Patient)
Words can not express the gratitude I have towards Dr.
Nielson and his staff.
Having ETS surgery has truly changed my life and has essentially
given me a fresh start. I have suffered from severe social
anxiety for a greater part of my 33 years. My anxiety manifested
itself physically through severe facial sweating and blushing. I
was unable to have a conversation or be in a social situation without
encountering terrible sweating and anxiety. On many instances,
I have had to excuse myself from a meeting at work, constantly
having to come up with intricate stories as to why I suddenly would
break out into a severe sweat. Over the years, I tried a
multitude of treatments, medications and doctors -- some with very
negative side effects with little to no relief. I honestly
felt hopeless, and both my personal and professional life were
suffering. It was overwhelming - and took over my life. I
considered it a miracle that I happened upon Dr Nielsons website. I
felt like my prayers were answered. From my first inquiry,
Dr Nielsons staff made the entire process both easy and stress
free. I felt like for the first time in my life I was speaking
to someone who understood the torment I was going through. Jane
and her counterparts answered all of my questions, and made the
entire experience a pleasure. I can honestly say
that my procedure was quick and pain free. Dr Nielson
was a true gentlemen, and his genuine sincerity greatly impressed
me. I was amazed at the immediate results, and I encountered
little to no side effects. As it stands now, my compensatory
sweating is minimal to none. I immediately felt like a new
person. I was able to speak without feeling flush, and the
sweating vanished immediately. My anxiety was all but gone
in a matter of days. Years of suffering and worry - which
I do not believe anyone can truly understand unless they experience
it themselves - was cured in an instant. I can now function
at work and in my personal life without worry of sweating, blushing
or being embarrassed. Both my relatives and my professional
peers have noted a positive change in attitude and performance. My
confidence and strength grows by the day. I am no
longer burdened with doctors or medication (Paxil, Nardil, etc.)
- and no longer feel hopeless.
Dr Nielson has changed my life, and I can not find the words to
express my ultimate gratitude. (Patient)
To Dr. Nielson & all
his staff,
Thank you for all of your help! The ETS procedure
has made me a "NEW MAN"! The pain is gone, the redness
is 50-60% gone, and I don't BLUSH. The 1st photoderm treatment
also went great. Thanks again for your care and support. I"ll
never forget APRIL 10, 2002. The day I got my life back!
Always, (Patient)
Dr Nielson,
This operation (micro ets) was very
successful and I am a very, very thankful for all that you did
for me. I have received miracle after miracle. I don't BLUSH anymore
or have facial sweating. If you need me to testify about how much
this operation has helped me, please contact me.
Thank you very much!

Dr Nielson,
Several times I have read reports
where people will say "You have changed my life". I never
fully understood the full impact of that statement until May 14,
2001. Dr. Nielson, you have indeed changed my life: For all of
my life I blushed daily, and every now and then I would have an
event stopping blush. It was horrible. Since May 14th when you
did your magic, I have not blushed one time. Not one time. I have
even put myself into situations that before my surgery would have
caused me to severely blush. There are no words to express my gratitude
for you life enhancing abilities. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Dear Dr Nielson,
It's been almost a year that I had
Micro ETS done for facial blushing mainly, let me tell you that
it changed my life! I found a better job, earning more than double
of what I was making. I used to work as a sales associate in a
Department Store and now I work as a financial sales representative
at a bank. I interact daily with a lot of customers, without any
problem and I am even the top producer for my sales manager's region!
The postop symptoms are compensatory sweating on my feet, (very
mild) and mild between my breasts. I used to have compensatory
sweating on my back, but it disappeared. I live in Florida and
we are on summer, so overall I don't have problems with compensatory
sweating. I blush sometimes when I get embarrassed and laugh at
the same time, but it happens seldom, I used to blush daily!
Well, thank you Dr. Nielson for the Micro ETS surgery that changed
my life and also thank you to your staff that were very kind
with me before and after the surgery.
Sincerely,
(Patient)
Dear Dr.
Nielson,
Attached please find the one year
follow-up for my Micro ETS. It was an amazing one year for me.
I am absolutely free from fear of facial blushing and facial sweating.
I can enjoy myself and can be myself where ever I am. I am far
less reactive to my environment than before. It gives me poise,
confidence, and high self-esteem at any occasions. Now I feel like
that I have been turning my attitude and effort to compensate the
shortcomings from before to a positive one. My physical exercise
ability was little affected, except endurance-type exercise under
the hot sun; as a matter of fact, I can do more exercise at a gym
than before Micro ETS. The only time I have noticed facial sweating
is when I eat very spicy food. But it is a moist level, rarely
happens, and recedes very quickly. I have CS on my chest and stomach
areas, but it is minor. Particularly, when I consider the tradeoffs,
my cs is absolutely nothing.
Sincerely,
(Patient)
Dear Dr Nielson,
Cheryl, Jane & Peggy,
You all are the most wonderful Dr and office staff
I have ever met and talked to. When I first heard of the Micro
ETS surgery for facial blushing, I was overjoyed as I had really
given up hope on ever being able to lead a normal life. Most
people didn't understand how I felt or the embarrassment I endured
in any social situation or at work or even getting together with
family.
It was a miracle that my friend Kathy saw the Micro ETS surgery
on TV and recorded it for me. The young man they did the surgery
on told how his life had changed after the surgery and he also
told how he felt when the blushing would start and it was just
how I felt. Cheryl, Jane and Peggy, each one of you have made me
feel so comfortable when talking to you over the phone. You show
so much care and concern. I just wished I could have met each one
of you personally and then thanked you for all of the help you
gave me. This is one week after surgery and my hands feel so warm
but the best part is I have not had the hot facial blushing. I
still get a little red if I get anxious or embarrassed but I know
it will get better each day.
Thank you,
(Patient)
Dr. Nielson,
I just completed the 3 month post-surgery
survey and wanted to take a minute to again thank you and your
staff for the friendly and professional support I received while
undergoing ETS. Traveling across the country alone to have surgery
by someone I had never met made me a bit nervous. However, both
yourself and the nurses at the hospital made me feel comfortable
and confident that I was doing the right thing. The results have
been dramatic. My whole life I suffered from severe facial blushing.
My face would turn a dark red whenever I experienced even the slightest
degree of emotion, such as anger, embarrassment, nervousness, etc.
Even if I just laughed with friends, my face would turn red. I
spent time in therapy (no help), I also tried the SSRI's (a little
help, but major side effects). The results of this was that I was
left with few professional options. Many times at work I would
begin to work with someone building trust and a professional relationship,
but as soon as they saw me turn bright red, they would lose all
respect for me. This left me with few career options except to
continue life working alone in a cubicle. The effect was equally
devastating on my personal life. I always kept quite and avoided
contact with people. I was fearful that I might experience some
small degree of embarrassment, anger or other emotion that would
turn my face red. I hesitated over a year on whether to have the
surgery or not, but now I can honestly say that having this surgery
was the best decision I ever made. I was concerned about the possible
side effects. Despite what I heard of possible problems, the only
symptom I've encountered is that I have some minor compensatory
sweating in the summer months here in Southern California. This
is a small price to pay to be free of this condition. During the
first 4-6 weeks after the surgery I saw a reduction of about 90%
in both the frequency and severity of the facial blushing. I'd
now say the reduction is > 95% mainly because of the increased
confidence I have. My face will become slightly red if I become
very angry or very embarrassed, but this will quickly fade. This
seems to me to be completely 'normal' and is something that I consider
insignificant. The best result of the surgery is that I can now
be myself when I'm around people. I don't have to worry about experiencing
a small degree of anger or embarrassment that might turn my face
purple. I'm now able to lead a full social and professional life.
Before speaking with your office, none of the health care professionals
I spoke with understood or even recognized this as a medical condition.
Thank you and your staff for the professional and friendly treatment
I received while undergoing this procedure. Sincerely,
(Patient)
Dear Dr.
Nielson,
It's been almost two months
since my surgery and I wanted to let you know how truly thankful
I am to you for changing my life. The results have surpassed my
greatest hopes and expectations. I've gone from blushing two times
a week to virtually no blushing at all. In addition, for the first
time in my life, my hands are warm to the touch and have a healthy
color. All this without any major side effects. After years of
searching for a solution, it was miraculous that I found a physician
so knowledgeable and caring. I only hope that others in my previous
situation become aware of the great work that you do for your patients.
All the best,
(Patient)
