When can I start using CBD oil after CoolSculpting?

Question

It has been two weeks since I had my Coolsculpting treatment, and so far I have avoided using ibuprofen as I have read that anti inflammatories have a negative impact on Coolsculpting results. However, I would like to know whether I can start re-using CBD oil? That is an anti-inflammatory too, but is it as powerful as ibuprofen and would therefore have a negative impact on my results as well?

Great question and its nice to avoid the anti inflammatory meds post coolsculpting to not inhibit the inflammation but we don't have any data to see how it impacts the results. I typically recommend avoiding anti-inflammatory meds if possible but if you absolutely need it for other reasons my patients have done that too with good results. After two weeks the use of topical oils should be no problem at all.

Hello and thank you for your question,Since you are two weeks post your Coolsculpting treatment I believe it would be fine to begin using your CBD oil again. So far in our patients we have not seen a negative effect of using anti inflammatory medications  with their results. If you have concerns of using the oil I would contact the Coolsculpting provider that treated you. Good luck!

I have been doing CoolSculpting for 8 years and have never seen any lack of results in patients who use anti-inflammatory meds. I tell patients that if they have discomfort following treatment, they can use ibuprofen or Aleve to help alleviate the discomfort if necessary. At 2 weeks out, the fat cells have already been damaged and have died so I think you are safe to use either oral or topical anti-inflammation meds at this point. Good luck with your results!
