Can people w/ Lupus benefit from non-surgical fat cell death/reduction procedures even though apoptosis is decreased by Lupus?

I have Minocycline-Induced Lupus. My symptoms (knee effusion/synovitis) ceased immediately after stopping the Rx. I tried CoolSculpting 1yr ago, did not lose fat & gained more in the treatment areas due to PAH. I now know the lupus is what contributed to my fat cells NOT dying + the resulting fat cell hyperplasia. Is BTL Vanquish ME stronger than CoolSculpting in the sense that it will actually cause fat cell death even in people w/ decreased cell death (apoptosis) due to their Lupus?
