Facial sweating, flushing and blushing:

Facial flushing, blushing and sweating has a control from the sympathetic nervous system.

If medical causes of flushing, blushing and sweating have been excluded and all conservative treatments have failed to make a difference, then ETS can be used to treat this.

As the nerves controlling the blood vessels and sweat glands in the face come from the sympathetic chain in the chest, ETS is the best option to cut these.

ETS is 70% effective in curing facial blushing, flushing and sweating.

This is a very specialised area and, if you are considering this, you need to have a consultation and go thorough all of the options, benefits and risks.

It is not something to go into lightly.

Over the years, we have had some very good results - but it is essential to get good results, that only those who really need surgery are offered it. So we will not offer surgery if we think there is a better way for you to be treated - or if we think you won't do well from the surgery.
