Can Botox Treat Facial Sweating?

mh8635
I understand Botox can be effective in treating hyperhidrosis for underarms and palms. But can it be injected to treat facial sweating? My entire face gets drenched in sweats even when I'm sitting still, maybe due to medication I'm taking. It's really embarrassing and starting to affect my social life... Please give advise. Thank you!
