Easing back in to life after Micro ETS

Over the past 6 months:
"I have been easing into life with a non blushing face, but at same time working with compensatory sweating. But overall its been a really good change for me. It's so nice not having to worry about my face going beat red whenever I don't expect it. It's made me more relaxed at work and in my social life for sure. Sometimes I still expect it to blush and it doesn't generally. Also though- even if I do blush I can't feel it and that's huge I think to having the blushing die down very quickly and not get worse like it used to. I'm very happy with the facial results. Yes of course I wish there was not compensatory sweating- but I think that's the lesser of two evils!"

Blushing improved after Micro ETS

Six months since having Micro ETS surgery, "facial blushing/sweating has been greatly diminished, which naturally reduces the crippling anxiety that always accompanies it. It has been a blessing for which I am so grateful."

I am very satisfied with the recovery time. Compensatory sweating occurs. The areas affected are the legs/back, but no real problem. It is manageable."

6 months after Micro ETS, Life has changed so much

>> "I no longer need to give myself the run down of all the possible things that could - and inevitably would - go wrong while out in the public, whether for social purposes, business or otherwise.
>>
>> If I run into someone on the street or the grocery store, I actually get to enjoy the encounter without a second though about myself as opposed to prior to the surgery when I would notice my face starting to feel really hot while people looked at me very strangely, many asking what was wrong or if I was sick.
>>
>> Also, my fingers/hands no longer lose color and go numb or are chronic shades of purple and blue. In severe weather (I live in New York) one or two fingers might turn white, but it has to be extreme conditions. Prior to the surgery if it dipped below 70 or the sun went behind the clouds I would lose all color in my hands and they would be essentially useless because I had minimal feeling in my hands (similar to if one had been sitting on their hands and had them "fall asleep") and would struggle excessively to do things such as get keys out of my purse or be able to properly use them. I felt terrified because I could hardly do the simplest of tasks while outdoors the majority of the time. It was paralyzing.
No compensatory sweating either."

Micro ETS changed her life

"My daughter is 15, and prior to micro ETS was very hesitant to shake other people's hands or handle anything that might reveal all the sweat she left behind. After the surgery, things are so different. Her hands are warmer and completely dry. She has more self confidence in social settings and is not timid about touching glass, keyboards, or any hard surface for that matter. Micro ETS has made a positive impact on her life and we are truly grateful for Dr. Nielson!"
