Finally, A Real Solution to End Facial Sweating and Blushing
The implications of hyperhidrosis are far-reaching, and Marisha Ray’s story serves as a model for how this condition can impact a person’s personal and professional life.
Marisha Ray was only 19 when her parents drove her from her hometown in Kentucky to Los Angeles to pursue the dream of stardom.
She began her journey in show business, collecting tips as a tap dancer on Hollywood Boulevard; now, seven years later, one would think Marisha should be singing hallelujahs from the top of Mount Hollywood.
She rose in prominence, featuring in various film sets and booking recurring roles on several TV shows.
But what appeared to be an unlikely story of success in Hollywood was actually a long, constant battle with a chronic health condition.
Marisha was born with hyperhidrosis, a condition that causes profuse sweating in the hands, under the arms, and on the feet. Approximately 1 in 50 Americans suffer from this condition each year.
In Marisha’s case, her excessive sweating weighed on every decision in her life—from what T-shirt she wore on a given day to the colors in her wardrobe.
Some nights, she would give up entirely, skipping a night out with her friends to sit home alone from the shame of sweating.
Marisha struggled with hyperhidrosis every day. On one occasion, she recalls that simply holding onto a microphone during a performance was more challenging than the singing and dancing itself.
After one particularly difficult episode, she broke down. She could no longer endure the daily struggle.
With the same grit she had summoned to conquer Hollywood, she determined that she would find a solution to her suffering.
While she could not believe that there was nobody out there who understood her problems, surely, she thought, somebody had to have dedicated their work to solving health-related issues like hers.
She began searching online for help and ultimately found her solution: The Center for Hyperhidrosis. In no time at all, Marisha was sitting across from one of the world’s leading experts on hyperhidrosis.
After working with the team at The Center for Hyperhidrosis, she felt comfortable and ready to undergo the procedure.
Shortly thereafter, her life would forever be changed—she was relieved of her chronic sweatiness and began living life with naturally dry, warm hands.
For the first time in her life, Marisha was able to grip a microphone under hot studio lights, and slowly, she began joining her community of friends in LA for long nights out on the town.
Today, Marisha Ray co-owns an entertainment business with her husband and stars in the hit TV show Critical Role, which is now shooting its 12th season.
Without fear of her former condition, she is able to comfortably interact with her fans, who come out and support her from around the world.

The countless stories we hear on a daily basis remind us that Marisha’s experience is not just isolated to a few people. Learn how we can help you.
Facial Sweating and Blushing:
A Silent Struggle That Affects Millions
Facial blushing and facial sweating affect approximately 2% of the population. Despite their prevalence, these conditions are still widely misunderstood.
Many patients go years without ever learning the name of their conditions. Even doctors often misinterpret or overlook them.
If you’ve struggled with facial sweating and blushing, you know how quickly they can take over a moment.
Maybe you’ve avoided speaking up in meetings or pulled back from social plans—not because you didn’t have something to say or share, but because you knew the minute all eyes were on you, your face would turn beet-red or start to sweat uncontrollably.
The struggle is real—and very visible: The burning cheeks, excessive facial sweating, the awkward stares, and the all-too-familiar question: “Are you okay? You’re so red!”
It’s a cycle that feeds itself—stress leads to blushing or sweating, which leads to more stress, more anxiety, and more avoidance.
Maybe you have tried every solution out there—breathing techniques, creams, wipes, BOTOX®, meds, and even therapy—hoping something would finally stop the facial sweating and blushing. But no matter what you’ve done, the symptoms keep coming back.
The fact is that facial sweating and blushing is not just “in your head,” or something that you can will away. It’s an involuntary reflex of an overactive sympathetic nervous system.
And blushing? That’s not your fault either.
At The Center for Hyperhidrosis, we believe you deserve compassionate care and a genuine, long-lasting, and permanent solution.
Dr. Eraj Basseri has devoted his practice to helping people just like you reclaim their confidence. His work focuses on providing a breakthrough, long-lasting solution for facial blushing and sweating—one that’s already changed the lives of thousands.
You don’t have to keep suffering in silence—there is hope. And it starts with learning about what’s possible.
A Message From
Dr. Basseri
Hi, I’m Dr. Eraj Basseri, the lead surgeon and co-founder of The Center for Hyperhidrosis.
At the Center, we specialize in a condition that’s often misunderstood: excessive facial blushing.
I was trained by Dr. Rafael Reisfeld, a pioneer in hyperhidrosis surgery and one of the leading voices in the field.
He’s also my partner at the Center. His commitment to this work began decades ago when someone close to him struggled with a hyperhidrosis condition.
That sense of personal mission continues to shape how we care for every patient.
If you’re reading this, you’ve likely spent years searching for answers.
Perhaps you’ve tried remedies that didn’t work. Maybe you were dismissed or told to “just manage it.” We hear that story every day. And the truth is, you’re not alone—and you’re not out of options.
We perform minimally invasive outpatient surgery that targets the sympathetic nerves responsible for both facial sweating and blushing. In my experience treating facial sweating and blushing, clipping a very specific point, slightly higher nerve has consistently delivered positive results without any complications.
Our success rate is over 90% for treating excessive facial sweating and blushing, and over 99.2% for excessive hands and feet sweating. For many patients, the results are immediate and permanent.
This isn’t just about fixing a medical issue but also about reclaiming confidence, calm, and control. You don’t need to keep hiding. You don’t need to keep wondering if anyone understands.
At The Center for Hyperhidrosis, we do.
If you’re ready to explore real treatment, I offer complimentary phone consultations for anyone looking to take the first step. And if you’re in the Los Angeles area, we’d be glad to meet in person.
You’ve made it this far. Let’s talk and discuss how we can help you live a sweat-free, blush-free life.

Face-to-Face With Facial Sweating & Blushing: Understanding and Managing the Condition
Facial blushing isn’t just “feeling a little flushed.” It’s that sudden, intense wave of redness that seems to come out of nowhere—even during the most ordinary moments.
An everyday social encounter, a passing compliment, or just someone looking your way can trigger it. And while others might brush it off as no big deal, for you, it feels overwhelming and completely out of proportion.
Symptoms of Facial Sweating and Blushing
Facial hyperhidrosis (excessive facial sweating) is often characterized by uncontrollable localized sweating in the face, scalp, and head.
This condition often accompanies facial blushing, characterized by short bursts of intense redness and often triggered by everyday social or emotional situations.
Both facial sweating and blushing can seriously affect your quality of life.
Causes of Facial Sweating and Blushing
Excessive facial sweating and blushing are caused by hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system, a cluster of nerves responsible for signaling the body’s response to stress or perceived threats.
The exact cause of these conditions is unknown, but they are primarily genetic. In other words, it’s something you’re likely born with—not something caused by lifestyle, personality, or environment.
It’s important to know what doesn’t cause these symptoms. They are not the result of:
- Skin disease
- Social situations
- Side effects of a medication
There are reasons for facial sweating and blushing that are unrelated to hyperhidrosis. It’s important that your surgeon is qualified to rule out other underlying conditions.
For example, facial hyperhidrosis symptoms typically begin in a person’s 20s or 30s—well before the typical age range for menopause.
So, if you’ve been dealing with facial sweating and blushing since early adulthood, it’s more likely to be a result of primary hyperhidrosis rather than hormonal changes.
How Facial Sweating and Blushing Have Been Treated Historically
Surgical treatment for excessive facial blushing and sweating began about 50 years ago, around the same time procedures for hand and foot sweating were first being developed.
In the early days, doctors were treating facial hyperhidrosis separately from palmar hyperhidrosis (sweaty hands) and plantar hyperhidrosis (sweaty feet).
For decades, the dominant approach was to treat facial sweating and blushing by targeting a high nerve level (T2).
But over time, this method fell out of favor.
Most early surgeries for facial sweating involved burning the T2 nerve, a method that often led to serious side effects.
Patients reported experiencing compensatory sweating, irregular heartbeats, mental fog, and unusual fluctuations in body temperature.
Despite limited data and known risks, many doctors still burn the T2 nerve to treat facial hyperhidrosis.
Dr. Eraj Basseri takes a different route.
After years of refining his technique, Dr. Basseri now clips a new, more precise spot on the nerve, leading to better results.
By avoiding full T2 disruption and using clipping (rather than burning), his approach significantly reduces the risk of complications while still providing permanent sweat relief.

The Only Permanent, 90% Effective Solution to Facial Sweating & Blushing
After treating thousands of hyperhidrosis patients and refining surgical techniques over the years, our team at The Center for Hyperhidrosis has established itself as a trusted leader in surgical care for facial blushing and sweating.
We’ve contributed to the medical literature, helped advance the field, and developed the only permanent solution to hyperhidrosis.
Our approach has been supported by clinical trials and studies that demonstrate its effectiveness and long-term benefits.
An Overview of What to Expect During Surgery for Facial Sweating and Blushing
Here’s what to expect from Dr. Basseri’s specialized, refined, and minimally invasive approach to treating excessive facial sweating and blushing:
- Before surgery, you’ll be placed under general anesthesia so you won’t feel any pain during the entire operation.
- Then, we make minimal incisions to promote faster recovery.Through these incisions, Dr. Basseri inserts a custom-designed endoscope, an instrument built for hyperhidrosis surgery.
- In operations for facial sweating and blushing, Dr. Basseri targets the nerves slightly higher than most surgeons do (T2).This approach minimizes risks, such as compensatory sweating (sweating in other areas of the body).
- Burned or severed nerves cause permanent damage. So, instead of cutting or burning the nerves, Dr. Basseri clamps them using titanium clips.The clamping method is safer and reversible. In the rare event that it’s necessary, the clips can be removed.
- Finally, Dr. Basseri closes the incisions with absorbable sutures that the body naturally breaks down and absorbs over time, so there’s no need to remove the stitches.
- Dr. Basseri performs every procedure in a fully accredited AAAHC (Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care) outpatient surgical facility, ensuring safety without compromise.The entire procedure typically lasts an hour.
-
Warm and Dry—Right After Surgery
Once the overactive nerve is clipped, the signal that causes your face to blush or sweat excessively will immediately stop.
When you wake up, the difference is unmistakable: You’re dry, warm, and finally free from the constant discomfort of facial sweating and blushing.
-
Fast Recovery, Permanent Relief
Just a couple of hours after surgery, most patients are already up, walking out of the center sweat-free.
Within 10 days, most are back at work and back to physical activity—only now, without the daily disruption of excessive sweating.

True Stories of Life After Facial Sweating and Blushing From Our Patients
“It has been a few years since my surgery, and I wanted to let you know that I continue to feel enormous gratitude toward you and your top-notch team on a daily basis. This procedure has truly changed my life, and for that, I can’t thank you enough. Needless to say, I am thrilled that nearly four years later, the effects have not diminished in the least.
I had been a sufferer of facial and cranial sweating since my early teens. As a very social person and an ambitious professional, this condition took a tremendous toll on my ability to achieve my personal best. Now that I no longer have this problem, life has improved [100%]…I got married a few months ago, and my wedding day had always been a day I looked forward to with great anticipation, yet in recent years also with some trepidation because of my hyperhidrosis.
Needless to say, I enjoyed it beyond all expectations while dancing all night without a bead of sweat on my head or face.
You and your team had made the process so easy…You walked me through the process, the risks, [and] the benefits. Your front office did a great job handling all of my insurance and payment needs…the paperwork for me was minimal. And, of course, you were an absolute dream physician.
The surgery was relatively painless, with a short recovery period, and you even personally drove me back to my hotel afterward and checked up on me a few times in the following days.
I read an article…that calls the [ETS procedure for facial blushing] “controversial,”…but in my own experience, it was an unmitigated success and an absolutely life-changing experience.
MANY THANKS.”
