Asked By:Nmomma10 in New York, NY

I had coolsculpting done to my arms and shortly after I had a shingles outbreak on my arm. I want to do cool mini on my neck but I’m worried about the another shingles outbreak. Is it advised not to coolsculpting if I’ve had shingles, or can I take an antiviral meds before?
