Beta Blockers to Minimize Botox Bruising?

lisa.sa14
I posted a question about bruising with every Botox treatment & I received a lot of good answers. I have another question related to bruising after Botox. Would taking a beta blocker prior to Botox help minimize bruising? I take a beta blocker as needed for public speaking events. It calms my fight or flight response so that I don't get flushed all over. It's extremely effective for these situations and I wonder if it would help prevent bruising with Botox.
