Translated: this means that sympathectomy reduces the skin immune responses. Not a good thing. There are some surgeons - who offer sympathectomy - who promise that it will aslo cure acne!!!! Quite the contrary. Your skin will have less resilience and more prone to infections as it will have a downregulated immue reponse. Just another 'euphemism' from the doctors, that is totally unsubstantiated and fraudulent.
