When you receive Botox® injections, it’s essential to follow specific aftercare guidelines to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects. While there is no strict rule that completely prohibits drinking alcohol a day after receiving Botox®, there are several reasons why it may be advisable to avoid it.
Alcohol can cause some serious consequences if consumed right after getting a Botox® treatment. Alcohol can thin the blood and it can cause the blood vessels to dilate, which can result in unnecessary bruising.
Following your Botox® treatment, you really want any bruising to be kept to an absolute minimum, especially if you’re one of those people who have a tendency to bruise more easily.
After your treatment, you may feel a bit drowsy and / or dizzy. This will go away after a little bit of time and is nothing to worry about, but you should tell your provider about any symptoms you have.
A glass of wine can mirror the symptoms you may be feeling after a Botox® treatment. In other words, a glass of wine after a long exhausting day may also make you feel rather dizzy or drowsy — so drinking after your treatment may make it harder for you to relay accurate information to your provider.Learn to Start a Profitable Aesthetics Practice in Just 4-Days!
