Will previous Kybella treatments interfere with CoolSculpting?

Question

I had 3 treatments wih kybella spread out over several months. I received a total of 19mL kybella with zero results. I took meticulous pictures and saw nothing. I just did the coolmini treatment in the same area, under the chin. 1) Would kybella interfere with the coolsculpting reaults? 2) If I didn't react to kybella, is there a greater-than-normal chance I won't react to coolsculpting?

Kybella is deoxycholic acid that is designed to lyse fat cells by being injected into the skin.  Coolsculpting works by cryolipolysis where the actual fat cells themselves are frozen, rupture and then are excreted out of the system in a one to three month time period.  We usually recommend a month between injectable kybella and coolsculpting but it is unlikely to have a significant effect.  Here is a helpful link about coolsculpting
