Is Coolsculpting Safe for Hepatitis B Carrier?

realselfkc
I am a Hepatitis B carrier, have a relative low virus count, and is currently taking Viread. Is CoolSculpting safe for me? When I did a search for CoolSculpting and Hepatitis, the only one that is related to it is an answer for Hepatitis C, regarding a medical condition called "cryoglobulins". I am not familiar with "cryoglobulins", is it a skin condition? If my skin is currently fine, does it mean it's ok for me to undergo CoolSculpting?
