Had Botox at 2pm...

[Civilwarrior]

Can I wear v light make up out tonight? And I know I'm not supposed to drink but all a couple really count?

Make up yes, but alcohol id be more cautious, though it's worse before the treatment due to blood thinning.

Thanks. Will try to stick to just a couple but didn't think through this appointment timing very well and it's a friends birthday do

No can't drink alcohol for 24 hours afterwards.

You can't? I have never been told this and I have been getting botox for over a decade!

And I have always gotten it on a Friday after work on way home and had wine when I got home too.

If you're told not to drink, then don't drink. The world won't end if you have a Rose Lemonade instead. But it might feel like it if drinking leads to your face looking wonky for months afterwards...

I think they only say you can't drink alcohol because it may intensify any bruising. Not because it will mix badly with the botox and you'll drop dead or anything

Yeah I thought that too and a quick google says its the bruising.

Do not put make up over the area you've had done!!! You don't want to press too hard or rub it, you can displace the product from where it's been injected.
This is why they say not to touch your face to much for 24h.
If you put makeup somewhere else be very careful removing that you're not rubbing the botox area.

Agree with PP never had an issue with a few glasses of wine the evening after.
