Does the oral intake of vitamin C influence the efficacy of Botox?

Asked By:onurdersim in Frankfurt am Main, Hessen, Deutschland

I had a treatment with Botox in my face today, but for facial pain. My first treatment with Botox ever in life was on March 13 this year. I received 30 units. The doctor who treated me said to come back in 14 days so, I can give feedback and he can re-inject some if necessary. This was the case today and I got 20 units. I took a lot of vitamin C a few hours after the treatment and am now worried that the Botox might not work - Could this be the case?
