You should not drink alcohol after receiving瘦脸针 (facial slimming injections) because alcohol causes blood vessels to dilate and accelerates blood circulation, which may interfere with the effectiveness of the injection. In severe cases, it could even trigger an allergic reaction. Alcohol can affect the absorption of the injected substance and its efficacy, and this interaction may last for at least a month. After the injection, your skin becomes more sensitive and vulnerable; alcohol might cause an allergic response at the injection site and impair wound healing. For at least one week after receiving the slimming injection, you should avoid taking any medication, eating spicy or irritating foods, drinking alcohol, or consuming any food that you previously know causes an allergic reaction in your body.
