Magnesium after CoolSculpting. Will this jeopardize my results?

Question

I got the Coolsculpting procedure for my lower Abs done today. Every night, I take one 500 mg Magnesium pill. Today was not the exception. Will this jeopardize my results? Should I stop taking Magnesium and if so, for how long? Thanks!!

Congratulations on your recent CoolSculpt session! Magnesium supplementation should continue to be safe following this procedure and will not limit its effectiveness. Remember that although this is considered a non-surgical procedure there is often some "down time" (approximately 2 weeks) and some swelling and bruising may occur. If, however, you believe that your recovery is abnormal or have additional questions/concerns please make an appointment to be seen and evaluated by a plastic surgeon.

No, it is unlikely that taking magnesium would negatively impact your results. Keep in mind, for best results with Coolsculpting, a combination approach is needed. I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. VASER with ThermiRF is a great alternative. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

In my opinion, taking magnesium after a CoolSculpting procedure should not affect the results.  I would say it is fine to continue taking your magnesium supplement.

Pamela Kimbrough, MD · Answer

No problems or concerns with taking any supplements, including magnesium.   That will not affect your results.

I don’t know of any reason that results of coolsculpting should be hindered by taking a reasonable dose of magnesium daily.
