The facial sweating/blushing has been greatly diminished, which naturally reduces

40 y/o hispanic male with life-long history of excess sweating of
the face/scalp/neck/hands, Blushing and cold fingertips during
sweating episodes. Sweating symptoms became severe 5 years ago
and sweat would drench his shirts, shaking hands with people and
even working with his hands was awkward and emotionally challenging.
He has been researching treatment options for years and decided
to travel from California to have MicroETS.
Hi blood pressure 146/86
and fast resting heart rate of 80 in my office during consultation.
Preop visit: wet face/scalp/neck and upper chest (photo) after
walking into my office for
consultation. Cold fingertips and wet
hands too.
Postop visit: completely dry face/scalp/neck/upper
chest, dry and warm hands. (photo) after walking from nearby hotel

My life has changed drastically. Although I have compensatory sweating
in other areas, it is by far easier to hide than the severe facial
sweating I had before. I am so thankful to have had this procedure
done. - James (Texas)

Hello, Just thought I'd give Dr Nielson an update on my ETS procedure
in August 2014, possibly for any future statistical reports. I've
been doing okay. I've had a good amount of compensatory sweating
on the back, chest and groin areas. I knew this was possible and
am hoping it will lessen over time. I'd rather have the compensatory
sweating than the head and face I came in for.

My facial sweat and hand sweating are totally
gone. However, as time passed by the doctor said there could be
chance of reconnection of nerves. Now my hands seem to show very
little sweat which means they are connecting? Plus my upper back
and upper chest have compensatory sweating severely. I need to
get done again. Other than this, I am completely satisfied
that my face and hands aren't sweating again! - David (Korea)

Very much so, even with the compensatory sweating, I can't explain
how happy I am to walk into meeting with dry hands and be confident
when I shake hands. I can lotion my hands now, I was never able
to do that before. I still walk around with a bit of paper towel
but it's only for my sweaty armpit.

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." - Fernando (Florida)

No more sweaty face and
palms! Confident handshake with warm, dry, white (rather
than red) hands. Still flush but pursuing pulsed dye laser treatment
for redness. Redness has decreased and no more panic attack (tomato
faces). I apply lotion to shoulders, neck, and face daily to keeep
moisturized. Baby shampoo has worked out great for me! No more
dry flaking skin. Eucerin Baby Shampoo for hair and Eucerin Daily
Protection SPF 30 works great for face! Thank you Dr. Nielson and

Dear Dr. Nielson,
Just a followup to our conversation last Thursday a day after my
successful surgery. I had the Micro ETS surgery Wednesday Feb
27th and all the problems are finally solved. As you know I have
tried everything to correct my extremely severe cases of Hyperhydrosis,
Frey’s syndrome, Reynaud’s disease etc. that you
and I have been emailing back and forth about since 1999. For
the past nine years I have taken all of your advice to correct
the problem and frankly nothing worked other than to reduce the
problems but all non surgical treatments for me were either useless
or had major side effects. I know for most folks, surgery is
the last option and it actually was the last option for me as
well but looking back I wish ETS had been my first option. I
tried all the creams and wipes – none worked. I also tried
several medications you recommended that my local Dr. prescribed
such as levsinex and hyoscomine which worked somewhat but I couldn’t
handle the side effects of itchy, irritating skin and blurred
vision and I tried some pills that didn’t work at all such
as klonopin (I think was the name- I tried it once and it may
have worked a little for some of your patients but didn’t
help me a bit). Finally, I flew to San Antonio last week and
a 20 minute surgery cured everything instantly!
I know ETS surgery for most may not be the first option but for
my problems such as hyperhydrosis, especially severe on the scalp
and face which was as debilitating as mine it was the only thing.
Please feel free to have any potential patients email me with questions
and use me as a referral.
Thanks and Regards, (Patient)

Dear Dr. Nielson,
I've been anxiously awaiting for this day to come, so I can formally
send you and your staff a personal thank you. It has been
one year to date since I had my sympathectomy and I would have
to say it has been a wonderful life-changing experience for me.
Dealing with Hyperhydrosis has always been a lifetime nuisance
with me on a personal, social, and business level and to say
that I'm finally cured, gives me peace of mind and a tremendous
amount of personal self-esteem. You and your staff will
always come highly recommended by me and please feel free to
have any future patients contact me if you need a reference. Kind
Regards, Ricardo Scarlatella

P.S. You may want to consider running
an ad in Golf Digest. Having done this procedure has shaved
about 8 strokes off my golf game and the best part, I never have
to buy a golf glove ever again! :)
Dear Dr. N. and Staff,
It has been 8 months since my ETS for facial and
scalp sweating and facial blushing. I
want to thank you again for changing my life. It has been an incredible
experience. I have had minimal comp sweating on my trunk, only
in very hot weather, and no sweating or blushing above the chest.
I am doing things that I never thought possible. I do not have
to worry about interviews or public speaking or meeting new people.
I read about all the HH sufferers and I cannot understand why they
do not just have the surgery. It was so easy. Sometimes I forget
that I even had it done. You and your staff will always be in my
heart. After 30 years of suffering, I am finally normal.
All the best (Patient)
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
Good Day:
About one year ago my wife and I came to your office for the Micro
ETS procedure. I had completed the research and made the
decision to have the procedure, but all contacts were completed
by phone, email, or by mail. We had never been to San Antonio…after
several months of research learning the “good and bad”,
we took a leap of faith.
Today I can report that the procedure
was very successful for the then sixty-nine year old patient. My facial
and head problems have been completely corrected and it
has certainly relieved me of embarrassing situations and permits
us to participate in many new activities and make new friends.
I have no side effects worth mentioning. I
think there is some compensatory sweating if the
surrounding temperatures are high, but seldom is this a problem
that cannot be easily handled.
This note is just to say thanks to Dr.
Nielson and his professional and compassionate staff for the way
I was treated, the skill exhibited in the procedure, the courage
to recommend this treatment to even someone my age (knowing it
might not work to the satisfaction of 100% of your patients), for
pointing out the risks and possible side effects…and then
leaving the decision to my wife and myself.
Were we a little anxious? Yes. Would
we do it again? Yes. Would we recommend Dr. Nielson
and his staff? Without question.
Thanks more than I can say. You
have blessed our “golden years”. May each of
you experience a Blessed Easter.
Sincerely, (Patient)
Dr. Nielson,
Briefly, I had significant facial HH for much of my life. In the
late 1990's, well before HH and ETS were well known. I researched
the subject extensively and discovered ETS and your proficiency
in this clinical procedure. You successfully performed the procedure
on me, and my life is FAR better as a result. I am now a faculty
member at a one of the most prominent public research institutions
in the U.S., and I suspect this would have not been possible
without your intervention in my HH affliction.
Touching base with the HH scene recently
through a range of HH forums, I am troubled by the stigmatized
perception of ETS. While I certainly experience some degree of
compensatory sweating, I have no regrets about my ETS and feel
that legions of HH sufferers can benefit from this procedure. I
suspect that most who have had successful experience with ETS have
simply moved on with rare thought of thier former circumstance,
and thus rarely participate in the ETS forums.
I am writing to vindicate any concerns
which you may have about your clinical devotion, and would like
to offer any assistance by way of testimony or otherwise support
for your efforts. Please advise.
Additionally, I note you are a graduate
of the Temple School of Medicine. I, too am a product of the Temple
graduate school, and implore you to promote your Temple affiliation.
Go Owls!
Regards, Tom
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.
Good Morning Dr. Nielson, Jane,
and Staff,
My surgery has been a huge success!!! I am no longer experiencing
facial blushing or sweating...not even a drop of sweat on my face
since the surgery...the feeling is so great words cannot explain
it.
I am experiencing an increased amount of compensatory sweating
when I am active, but this is very tolerable and does not bother
me. I have also had a chance to eat some spicy foods which in the
past triggered facial blushing and sweating, however this no longer
occuring...thank god.
I would like to thank you again Dr. Nielson and your staff for
everything you've done for me. Both you and your staff from the
very beginning have represented the utmost courtesy and professionalism...I
really appreciate that. I especially appreciated your surgical
accomadations this past Friday when I missed my first surgery time.
If I can ever be of any assistance in your practice or website,
please do not hesitate to ask. You've really changed my life for
the better!!!!!!!
Sincerely,
(Patient)
Dear Dr. Nielson,
Jane, & Staff:
WOW……it’s been almost 1 month since
my surgery for hyperhidrosis of the scalp & facial blushing,
and I can truly say that I am amazed! The difference this has made
in my life is truly miraculous! My self confidence has soared;
I’m not scared to be in social situations (including the
grocery store) for fear my head would become totally wet and my
face would drip with perspiration. I actually smile now when I’m
in a store, or at church, or a restaurant, knowing I look as “normal” as
all the others there. I don’t have that pressure of people
looking at me when the sweating would begin. Some women (strangers)
had even joked with me about menopause! I’m not there yet!!
LOL. I feel that I am more professional at my job as I now don’t
have to worry about my appearance – that is about a wet head & sweaty
face up to 5-6 times during a workday. The compensatory sweating
is there, but compared to the sweating I’ve had for over
40 years, it’s very tolerable. I now think I sweat like most
people normally do! I had always just sweated on my head & face,
not my body. I’ve gone from washing my hair up to 3 times
a day, to just once a day in the morning! That’s amazing
in itself.
Thank you so much Dr. Nielson for giving me a life that is as normal
as everyone else. I feel great about myself, am not as self-conscious
as before, and I am so glad I had the surgery. The procedure itself
was very easy for me. I just had minor pains for a while. And the
surgery was so fast as was the recovery time. Bless you for this
gift you have and for sharing it with those of us who are in dire
need of it. I want to tell everyone about Micro ETS!!! And how
it’s changed me as a person and made my life better.
Dr. Nielson, your office staff is the BEST! Pleasant, kind, informative,
caring…..I don’t have enough adjectives for Jane, Peggy,
and all the rest. And the hospital staff was just as kind.
Thank you again for all you’ve done for me, Dr. Nielson.
You have really blessed me and given me a new lease on life.
(sorry to be so long, but wow, lots to say!!)
Thank you!
(Patient)
Dr Nielson,
this operation (micro ets) was very successful and I am avery,
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!
(Patient)
To Doctor Nielson
and staff:
Thanks to all of you for giving me a new life. Words could never
express how much your knowledge and kindness have meant to me.
From my 1st phone call with Jane about the micro ETS surgery to
my last meeting with Dr. Nielson you hall have done everything
possible to make this as stress free and enjoyable as possible.
For me, 40 years of embarrassment and anxiety were gone in 30 minutes.
I am forever grateful for having you come into my life.
How did you get so good at making people happy?
Thanks for everything,
(Patient)
Dr Nielson,
Just a brief update. It has been five weeks since my Micro ETS
surgery - and I am still astounded with the results. Thank you
so much and God sends nothing but the very best!
(Patient)
Hello Jane and
Dr. Nielson,
I am truely grateful for the miracle I received on August 31st.
The operation is a gift that I have been waiting for 30 years.
I am so overwhelmed and thrilled I can't rub off my smile. People
look at me and wonder . . . what is she so happy about? If they
only knew. I thank the angles and God for sending me to your website.
Thank you Jane, you are an angel. And thank you Dr. Nielson for
the miracle and a new rebirth. Loyally yours,
(Paitent)
Dear Dr. Nielson,
The results are unbelievable! No single event has changed my life
or the way I feel physically like this surgery. Thank you.
(Patient)
Dear Jane & Peggy,
You are right, I am absolutely ecstatic with the whole micro ETS
surgery procedure, and ultimate success!!!!!! Dr. Nielson is
phenomenal! The most brilliant, compassionate, caring doctor
I have ever met. I thank GOD every night for him and this miracle.
I am sending a report and hope I have completed it correctly,
If not please let me know. Thanks again for your care and concern.
May you and your families enjoy a safe and warm holiday season.
Sincerly,
(Patient)
Dear Peggy and
Dr Nielson,
I just wanted to take a moment and than you so much for creating
the web-site, without it I would still be uncomfortable and embarrassed.
This was an answered prayer, and I thank God for placing you in
my life. Peggy, I would like to personally thank you for taking
the time and seeing me before I went into surgery, That was a wonderful
treat and it made me feel a lot better about the surgery I was
about to undergo. You can't imagine how my life has changed in
just a few days. Dr. Nielson, I would also like to thank you for
pioneering this procedure and making it so pain free. I have not
had an uncomfortable day yet. If it was not for you taking the
time to study hyperhidrosis and learn a new technique, I and many
other people would still be worried about the problem. I can't
even begin to let you know how much I have already appreciated
this operation. Thank you!!!
(Patient)
Dr. Nielson,
I just wanted to send a note to thank you for giving me
a social life again. As you know I had severe facial & scalp hyperhydrosis
and would literally drip sweat off my ear lobes and have a cold
river of sweat running down my neck in social situations. Since
surgery, the most I have experienced is some minor moisture on
my face & scalp when eating spicy food. I have moderate CS on my
chest & legs but as I told you before surgery, that's a small price
to pay for the freedom to have an unrestricted lifestyle again.
Thanks to all and I wish you the best!
