Is it safe to sunbathe or use a tanning bed after a lipotropic injection?

It’s generally recommended to avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning beds for at least 24 hours after receiving a lipotropic injection. Here’s why:

  • Increased Skin Sensitivity: Injections can sometimes make the skin temporarily more sensitive, increasing the risk of sunburn or irritation from UV rays.
  • Injection Site Care: It’s best to protect the injection site for the first day to allow for proper healing and to minimize discomfort or redness.
  • Focus on Healthy Habits: Lipotropic injections support weight loss goals, but excessive tanning carries inherent health risks. This is a good time to prioritize healthy habits for overall well-being.

If sun exposure is necessary, prioritize sun protection with sunscreen and cover-up clothing. Discuss individual concerns with your AIVI Aesthetics provider.
