Armpit Sweating Testimonials

DOS:  07 Nov 2007  Follow up week of 20th April, 2008 - Patient reports very happy with results.  (PDF of patient's note)
Dr. Nielson,

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 & I cant wait to start jumping head first into situations I would have shyed away from before.  You & your staff were wonderful!  I couldn't have asked for a better experience!  And thank you againf ro further lower 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 & 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, (Patient)

Dear Dr. Niellsen,

Hello, how are you?

It was very nice to meet you. I am just writing to thank you for changing my life! Getting dressed every morning has become so much easier as I no longer have to choose colours or fabrics that will disguise / absorb excessive underarm sweating for the day. I also don't have the problem of staining my clothes with sweat anymore, as my underarms are now almost completely dry. I can now wear the colours that I like, instead of the blacks, navies or whites that I was limited to in the past. I can even go deodorant-free for the day!

It has been almost two weeks since I've had the surgery and I feel like a new person. My hands, underarms and face have been very dry and my facial blushing has also disappeared. I can't believe it and need to get used to my new body as I sometimes don't trust that I will cope in situations which in the past, were a trigger for blushing and oversweating!

I have been confidently shaking hands with people, writing freely, driving without my hands wetting the steering wheel and getting through each day without having to worry about how to disguise or get out of a sweaty-hand situation! I feel like a huge weight has been taken off my shoulders, as I no longer have the anxiety and fear of being with people that I used to. I don't have to keep putting my hands in my pockets! As a teacher, I am especially happy that I can write without smugding the inks on papers!!! These keyboard keys aren't even wet!!!

My feet still have a little sweating and am not sure if it is `safe' enough for me to wear open-style shoes yet. However, the sweating on my feet has decreased (about 50%) and seems to be improving each day.

As for compensatory sweating, yes, this is happening around my trunk (mainly lower back and stomache area), back of knees, thighs, front and back of my legs. The sweating around the trunk has at times, soaked through my clothing but this has been hardly visible. Also, I live in Japan, which is a country with high heat humidity, especially in the summer! And, considering that I
live in one of the hottest parts of Japan, the compensatory sweating has been bearable in these conditions. However, being almost at the end of summer, I feel that I need to experience many more hot, summer days to make a better judgement on the compensatory sweating.

Interestingly, I feel as though my sweat glands have been shifted to new areas of my body. I now need to get used to sweating around my lower trunk and back of knees as in the past I have never sweated around these areas. Even though at times, this new sweating is uncomfortable, I do prefer it like this. Also, I have noticed that whenever I'm in an air-conditioned room, I don't experience any compensatory sweating and am completely dry from head to toe.

Another interesting change that I've noticed is `stomache- blushing'. Whenever I feel as if I am going to blush, my stomache blushes instead! I actually feel the same heat rush that used to cover my face going across my stomach area and am relieved that this is not visible!

Some of the teaching work that I do in Japan is in a kindergarten. The other day, while on stage teaching a song and dance, I felt so great! I had no stage-fright, blushing, facial sweating or sweaty hands while holding the microphone. For the first time in my life, I could sing, teach and dance with enjoyment, rather than discomfort and embarassment! I have never enjoyed being on stage so much!

I am planning to join a dance school as I love dancing and have always wanted to do so! With my new found self-confidence I feel like the sky's the limit - I can do anything!!

Thanking you sincerely, (Patient)

Dr Nielson,
Thank you for changing my life. It’s hard to believe a year has passed since the micro ETS surgery. I am now living my life to the fullest!
Sincerely, (Patient)

Dr Nielson,
This surgery (micro ETS) has changed my life, my comfort around people, touching others, my confidence, and my view of myself. Thank you Dr. Nielson & Staff

Please include this in the testimonials on behalf of Dr Nielson and Staff. I make it a point to post messages in support of using Dr Nielson for ETS and cannot thank you all on the staff and Dr Nielson enough for helping me recover from the first ETS I had done in New York. The comparison between the first ETS experience and the one with Dr. Nielson could not have been more different. Please keep my tel number and email address in case anyone from this area or elsewhere would like to talk to me about their ETS experiences. (Patient) and I have emailed each other. Thanks for the information to contact her.
Many thanks,
(Patient)

Dr Nielson,
I just wanted to drop you a note along with my follow-up report to once again thank you for the opportunity to take charge of my life in a way never before realized. Micro ETS has empowered me in ways that I never before imagined possible. I don't consider anything out of reach now. My confidence is reaching a new level that is noticeable to my friends. My only regret is that I didn't have Micro ETS sooner.
I am obviously doing well and have had little pain. I don't know if I told you in the follow up interview, but I went on a date the same night I had my surgery. That alone should serve as a testament to the low invasiveness you provide.
I am doing my best to spread the word about your procedure. Feel free to use me as a reference for anyone that my story might benefit. I will keep you up to date on my progress.
Congratulations on running the Olympic torch. I am sure that was quite an experience.
Thanks,
(Patient)

Dear Dr. Nielson,
Thank you for your micro ETS procedure! The compensatory sweating is so mild I hardly think it is worth mentioning. It only comes once in a while and lasts only a minute or two. Sincerely,
(Patient)

Dear Dr. Nielson,
It's been a week and I feel like a miracle has taken place in my body. I thank God for leading me to you. I'm 44 years old and have lived with hyperhidrosis for as long as I can remember. Doctors misdiagnosed this condition telling me I was too aware of myself or prescribed antidepressants. I diagnosed myself through research and then found you. The surgery was a simple procedure with minimal discomfort. I am now comfortable in my body and you can imagine what that does for one's confidence. I am no longer ashamed and feel an obligation to educate people, especially doctors, so people will be properly diagnosed and know there is help. I want to thank you Dr. Nielson and let you know that you have changed my life. Sincerely,
(Patient)

Dr. Nielson,
thank you so very much! You have changed my life. I no longer have any underarm sweating. Thank you again!
(Patient)
