Facial Sweating | Scalp Sweating Testimonials

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 intantly! 

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. 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)

(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!
(Patient)
