Micro ETS was 100% worth it for severe Blushing. My face hasn't been red since.

6 months after Micro ETS for severe Blushing and facial Hyperpyrexia:

"Very satisfied. Not experiencing any cs (compensatory sweating."

Life changed since having Micro ETS:

"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)."

One Year after Micro ETS: "Little things like using touch-screen or being able to shake hands"

One year after Micro ETS for wet hands: —> Very Satisfied.

Cs is "Very little on my lower back but only if I'm hot or nervous"

Life changed since having Micro ETS: "I'm so glad I had this surgery! My life has changed in so many way, even just little things like using touch-screen or being able to shake hands.
> Thank you!!!!!"

One year after Micro ETS -> "I'm more confidant in social situations"

31 y/o woman tried several medications for severe blushing but nothing seemed to help her. She then decided to have Micro ETS and one year later she reports how her life has changed since:

"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."

"Cs is moderate on the feet, legs, back and stomach in summer months."

Wow what a difference after Micro ETS

Mild cs (compensatory sweating) of the feet and abdomen after Micro ETS for severe Blushing/burning of the face and moist hands.
A 28 year old woman suffered from severe blushing/burning of the face becoming much worse the past 8 years.  Sweaty hands was also a problem for most of her life (last 27 years).
Micro ETS was done 6 months ago  and this is what she reports now:


How life changed after ETS (report is 6 months following Micro ETS): "Wow what a difference. I don't sweat through gloves or my makeup anymore. My blushing was reduced by about 50%, but the hand sweating is completely gone. I am no longer embarrassed to shake someone's hand."

I can now leave my home without blushing

Micro ETS improved Facial Blushing and Facial Hyperpyrexia.

"I am able to leave the house and go to work. I can now interact with people outside and inside my home."

If you are suffering with hyperpyrexia/intense facial flushing, I highly recommend seeing Dr. Nielson.

How has your life changed since having Micro ETS?:

"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."

21 months later: "He is doing fantastic!" Blushing improved

Mother reports how her 19 year old son is doing 21 months after having Micro ETS for severe Blushing.
"He is a freshman in college and is pretty busy. . .   I am happy to talk to people if that would help.  We made the decision based on very positive referrals from 2 other parents. He is doing fantastic!  So thankful he had the procedure and hopeful that he continues to do well! "

10 years after Micro ETS "I am Doing very Well. . . this procedure has been such a blessing"


a 48 year old woman shares how she is doing —> 10 years after Micro ETS for severe Blushing/burning of the face, severe sweating of the scalp/face.

She suffered for 20 years with severe Blushing/Hyperpyrexia, craniofacial Hyperhidrosis and slightly cool hands.  She had even tried medications such as Lactose intolerant meds and Bellergal (anticholinergic, sedative) and didn't see much improvement in her symptoms, which had bothered her so very much for so long.  She then decided to travel to San Antonio, Texas and have Micro ETS 10 years ago.  When she woke up, after the 30 minute procedure, she experienced immediate improvement in these symptoms, which had impaired her ability to perform activities of daily living.  

TEN years later she shares:
 "I am doing very well.  It's been over ten years since my procedure and still doing very well.  The compensatory sweat has also subsided quite a bit but not having it on my head is the best as that was my ultimate goal!   The only thing that has returned a little is when I eat hot foods but again, so minimal, I don't really even think about it anymore.  My work and profession requires me to speak and this procedure has been such a blessing.
I am happy anytime to share my experience with anyone as a referral.  I had such a comfortable experience and Dr Nielson and his staff were all such caring professionals!"

"I am no longer anxious in social situations"

19 year old Woman shares her improvement in Blushing one year after Micro ETS:

Very satisfied with Micro ETS.

She experiences compensatory sweating: areas of cs include   armpits (moderate) and at times lower back (minimal). Has not been a serious issue.

Life has changed since having Micro ETS:
"I am no longer anxious in social situations. Not once since the surgery have I hesitated to raise my hand in class or initiate a conversation out of fear that my face will turn bright red. Dr. Nielson has completely changed my life!!"

At one month after Micro ETS she shared this experience:
"My life has most definitely changed since having ETS. Not once have I felt that intense burning feeling of the face since my surgery. My anxiety in everyday social settings has greatly diminished in just one month. I can raise my hand in class or initiate conversation without worrying about my face turning red. I have so much more confidence and so far am very pleased with the outcome of the procedure."

BLUSHING •••> "I am normal & never have to worry about it anymore" ONE YEAR after Micro ETS

One year after having Micro ETS, a 48 yr old man is very satisfied with the improvement in his Blushing. Cs (compensatory sweating) occurs in the heat/humidity: "on back of legs/feet/chest and doesn't bother me really. It's hot in Texas and I sweated anyway."

Life has changed since Micro ETS: "Words can't really describe how this has changed my work life. I'm normal and never have to worry about it anymore. I've actually forgotten about it most of the time. Wish i would done this 20 years ago."

1 Year Later --> "I am in wonder at this new reality, 100% successful with Dry hands.

Life has changed since Micro ETS:
"It is a complete change socially. Before the surgery, my entire life revolved around hiding or masking my sweaty hands, from social situations, to church life, even just going to the store. It affected which activities I would participate in, what clothing I could wear, etc. There are now no such restrictions and it has opened up a world of opportunities that I felt I had to shy away from before. The surgery was 100% successful and still a year after the surgery I am in wonder at this new reality. I am more confident in every setting and no longer feel the worry and anxiety associated with hands that were soaking wet all of the time. When I meet people who I suspect suffer from hyperhidrosis, I tell them about Dr. Nielsen and his practice. I couldn't be happier with the results. Yes, there is compensatory sweating, and yes it can be severe at times, but it is a small price to pay; and only people who have suffered from hyperhidrosis can fully appreciate that estimation."

"I feel very lucky" Six months later --> "I feel more comfortable in my skin & can go to social events without worrying"

31 yr old woman from Oklahoma is "Very Satisfied" with improvement in facial blushing and burning after having Micro ETS by Dr Nielson in San Antonio, TX.
Prior to Micro ETS, she would experience severe blushing and burning of the face and cold fingertips several times a day. Performing activities of daily living, simple things and tasks, were very difficult to do.
Clonidine, beta blockers antidepressants and anti-anxiety mediations hadn't helped lessen the severe blushing/burning of her face.
Compensatory sweating of the back, legs and abdomen is triggered by "hot days" and is moderate in severity.

Her life changed after Micro ETS —> "I feel more comfortable in my skin and can go to social events without worrying about blushing. I am more at ease attending events for my daughter's school and speaking in front of people. I'm very thankful for this change and feel very lucky."

Severe case of Flushing and burning dramatically improved after Micro ETS

"I have seen significant changes in just one month and feel optimistic it will continue to get better. I had a very severe case. I am now able to sleep through the night without a fan on my face. Only 3 nights since the surgery have I flushed during the night and it was mild compared to what it used to be. There's been huge improvements in heat flushing. I was able to attend an outdoor weather on a humid day with no flushing. I hope to get to 100 percent with the heat and sun flushing. My emotional flushing has also drastically decreased. I still am very sensitive to foods and will continue to eat restricted for now.
I was able to come over inderall entirely the first week. Within 3 weeks I have come off cromolyn completely. In a few weeks we will begin weaning off of the clonodine. Being off these meds has helped me get more energy back and i am so appreciative of that.
Dr N is the most caring and passionate surgeon and doctor. He spends the time to hear how you are doing and truly cares from pre op to post op. Everyone at his office is amazing! Thank you thank you thank you! I begin to feel like my life is normal again and can't wait for the results to continue even more!!"
