Excessive Sweating
Botox can be used to combat hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating of the armpits, which does not respond to topical treatment with antiperspirants. Botox works by blocking the nerve impulses to sweat glands, which stops them from producing sweat.

It's the Pits ...
Well, it was the pits. Since my early teens I have excessively sweated from my armpits. Sounds funny and maybe you've already muttered "Sweaty Betty" or made a joke in some way but that's OK, I've been made fun off, been bullied and labelled with various adjectives all denoting that I stank.
While other girls wore off the shoulder dresses and open tops I had a wardrobe of particularly dull fashion, all with one thing in common. From dresses to blouses they had to hide heavy sweat marks.
It was one of my closest friendswho contacted Tinkable on my behalf, about seven months ago now. She attended a consultation, got all the info and spoke to other people who had been treated by Tinkable.
So when she sat me down and broached the subject she had all the answers and made it difficult for me to say no. Reluctantly I went along, with my friend in tow. I actually attended two other consultations before I decided to go ahead.
Why didn't someone tell be about Botox before? Of course I knew Botox could be used for lines and wrinkles on the face and I even knew people who had had it. But why did nobody tell me that Botox can stop underarm sweating?
To say the treatment was a success is an understatement. It has completely changed my life. In just seven months I have drained my bank account on shopping trips, I have a new boyfriend and have just started a new job which nvolves travelling and meeting people. How wonderful to be able to travel by public transport.
I seriously can not recommend this treatment enough. My sincere thanks to the Tinkable team.
