Could something like coolsculpting or crysurgery treat Gynecomastia? Can the cold kill glandular tissue? not worried about fat.

I know cold at a certain temperature for a certain time can cause cell death in fatty tissue. I imagine it could do the same with any living cell. At what temperature would cells in your mammary glands die?
