Should I Stop Taking Supplements (Eg. Fish Oil, Ubiquinol) After Ultherapy?

August 1, 2013
Asked By:Toronto2695 in Toronto, ON

I had Ultherapy a few days ago. I have been taking omega-3-rich fish oil supplements for a few months, as well as ubiquinol (CoQ10), green tea, and magnesium, all of which are said to have some anti-inflammatory effects. I realize no studies have been done on their effects on Ultherapy results, but in your opinion, should I discontinue taking these supplements in the next 6 months, to avoid potentially decreasing Ultherapy's lifting/ tightening effects? Thanks very much.
