Should I lose weight prior to my coolsculpting treatment?

Asked By:jessie_finn in Beverly Hills, CA

Hi there, I have booked in for a coolsculpting treatment in 5 week's time on my "love handle" area. The reason I have booked it for 5 weeks time is that I thought that if I could lose a little bit of weight in that time, then my fat cells will be a bit smaller and so more of them will be able to fit into the applicator and be treated. Is this an accurate thing to think? Or should I just rebook it for next week since I'm excited to get the process started as soon as I can?
