Coolsculpting after taking Lamisil (terbinafine)? Curious about liver effects.

1hjJun 10, 2017
Is it okay to get coolsculpting done (outer thigh area) 10 days after stopping Lamisil? I have just completed a 3 month course for toenail fungus. All of my liver tests came back normal and I did not drink alcohol the entire time I was taking it. I know that w/ Coolsculpting, the fat cells are processed through the liver. Do I need to wait for my liver to detox since I was on the Lamisil for so long?
