Is it really okay to drink alcohol on the day of Botox?

📌 Drinking alcohol on the day of Botox? Is it really okay? Sharing my personal experience 🍷💉

 

A few days ago, I got Botox for my jaw... and I happened to have plans with a friend.
But I hesitated for a moment. "Is it okay to drink alcohol on the day of Botox...?" 😅
When I looked it up, the information was all over the place, so I was really curious and asked the dermatologist directly!

 

 

✅ Botox effects, starting with a brief explanation of the principles!

 

Botox is a procedure that temporarily paralyzes muscles to reduce wrinkles or define the jawline.
For example, the principle is the same for various treatments like hangover Botox or jawline Botox – muscle relaxation!
The procedure itself is simple, but there are quite a few precautions to keep in mind to maintain the effects for a long time.

 

 

 

Why is alcohol consumption on the day of Botox treatment not allowed?

I heard the most that you should really avoid drinking alcohol on the day of Botox.

The reason?

 

1. Decreased immunity
Drinking alcohol increases the likelihood of experiencing Botox side effects such as inflammation, bruising, or swelling.

2. Delayed recovery at the injection site
Since Botox is injected directly into the skin, alcohol consumption can slow down the recovery process.

3. Heat and Stimulation
- Not only alcohol, but also saunas, jjimjilbangs, and hot baths are not allowed! Skin irritation → possible reduction in effectiveness 😭

 

 

⏱ When can I start drinking alcohol again after Botox / procedures?

 

- Absolutely no on the day
It is recommended to refrain from alcohol for at least 3 to 7 days after Botox.
Many people ask if Botox is okay before drinking, but it's better to avoid the procedure when you are hungover.

 

 

💬 한줄 요약

I ultimately postponed the appointment and chose the one with longer-lasting Botox effects lol
Since you've already taken it, let's just hold off on alcohol and heat stimulation for a little while!
