can i drink alcohol after botox
Hey Haven, I was wondering if I could drink alcohol after getting botox?
Hello! It's a common question. The general advice is to avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours after having botox injections. This is because alcohol can thin the blood, and may increase the risk of bruising or swelling after the procedure.
So it's not technically dangerous? More about the physical side effects?
That's correct. Alcohol won't interfere with the botox itself, but it can exacerbate some side effects, like bruising or swelling. Also, being hydrated is key for good skin health, and as you know, alcohol can dehydrate your body.
What if it's just a little amount? Like a glass of wine at dinner?
A small amount may not cause significant issues, however, it's still safer to avoid all alcohol for that first 24 hours just to prevent any possible complications. Everyone's body is different, so the effects can vary from person to person.
I see. Thanks for clarifying that, Haven.
