Restylane: Why can't I have a glass of wine? My Doc said "no alcohol!". Why is this? What would happen? (photo)

Alcohol will thin the blood slightly so you are more likely to have a bruise if you drink after Restylane injections. I use cannulas for most of my injections so the chance of bruising is minimized. Supplements, NSAIDS, aspirin, and alcohol will all thin the blood and shouldn't be taken if bruising would interrupt your social calendar.  We use a vascular laser to heal bruising faster. It will resolve a bruise after 1-2 days vs the typical 10-14 days. Arnica orally and topically (Ocumend) will also help resolve bruising.When looking at your picture, I am somewhat concerned about the mottled appearance of your skin. This is called livedo reticularis and is an early sign of vascular occlusion. I know this is a question posted years ago, but I'd be interested if this turned out to be a vascular problem. 

Hello
Many thanks for Sharma by your question and also your photos. 
The reason is scientifically alcohol has proven effects to increase likelihood of bruising and also bleeding. This is because of the effects it has at a cellular level. 
We say to avoid alcohol a week before treatments and also a day or two after treatment to try to maximise the effects. You should ask your injector for their personal face to face opinion also.  
Hope this helps.
