How Long Should I Wait to Drink Alcohol After a Vbeam Laser Treatment?

aussiedebNov 15, 2012
I had my first Vbeam treatment today. I have checked the internet and get different answeres to my question. Some say it's Ok to drink a day or 2 afterwards and some sites say wait to weeks. What it the correct amount of time to wait and if I do drink afterwards will it dimish the effects of my treatment?
