I Had V Beam Laser Treatment on my Chin. 1 Week Later I Drank Alcohol, Will This Ruin the Effect of my Treatment?

Question

I had v beam lazer treatment on my chin. 1 week later I drank alcohol, will this ruin the effect of my treatment? I hardly drink at all but, 1 week after the treatment I did a night out of drinking. I am concerned I ruined the effect of my treatment!

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

Although it is true the alcohol consumption can cause spider veins to look worse, I do not think that your drinking of alcohol one week after your V beam treatment should do any permanent damage.

Joshua L. Fox, MD · Answer

While alcohol consumption may aggravate and cause dilated blood vessels, it is usually the results of long-term alcohol use.  It is highly unlikely that you caused any permanent damage or that you ruined the effectiveness of your V-Beam treatments from one night of alcohol consumption.
