After receiving hyaluronic acid injections, it is recommended to wait at least 1 to 2 weeks before drinking alcohol. This is because alcohol can accelerate blood circulation, potentially increasing the metabolism of hyaluronic acid and affecting the treatment results. Additionally, since the skin has injection sites that are essentially small wounds, alcohol consumption may impair wound healing and even increase the risk of bacterial, viral, or other pathogenic invasions. To ensure optimal outcomes, it is advisable to wait until the injection sites are mostly healed before consuming alcohol. Moreover, if any adverse reactions occur after the injection, alcohol intake should be further delayed until full recovery is achieved.
