Will soaking in a hot tub for 30 minutes prior to Coolsculpting help expand & weaken the fat cell's walls?

Beverly Hills, CA
The theory of heating something gradually (fat cell wall) & then exposing it to something cold (like a piping hot glass placed in the fridge) the result is more likely a reaction to cell wall's destruction (like the hot glass cracking in the fridge before a cool glass would). Would it make valid reasoning that a 30 min hot tub soak before Coolsculpting would weaken the fat cells walls, expanding them & making them even more susceptible to the freeze & ultimately achieving a better end result?
