Does taking Celebrex (200mg) reduce the results of CoolSculpting since it's an anti-inflammatory medication?

March 15, 2016
Asked By:NewHorizons in Portland, OR

I would like to know if taking Celebrex would cause the inflammatory response that releases the fat cells after CoolSculpting to be less effective. I would like to have some form of treatment like CoolSculpting done on my upper arms and love handle area. I tend to bruise easily (even before taking the Celebrex), so I want to know if this would be safe. I'm also prone to Cherry Angioma spots and am fair skinned. What treatment would be best?

Martin Jugenburg, MD says:

Thank you for your question. Bruising is not an indicator of a successful treatment. It is normal for both sides to heal differently. If you are truly concerned, I would speak to your treating physician and wait the full 3 months to see the results. Regards,
