What Are PCDC Injections?

PCDC injections, also commonly referred to as PCDC lipolysis, mesotherapy, and lipodissolve, are made up of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and deoxycholate (DC), both of which already naturally occur in the body. When injected, the combined power of this mixture can permanently reduce and dissolve stubborn pockets of body fat.

PCDC is a natural compound solution that contains a mixture of a phosphatidylcholine and sodium deoxycholate, a bile salt that aids waste removal. Because the fat is gradually chemically liquefied and removed by the body's own processes, the treatment is gentle.

How Do PCDC Injections Work?

Once the area for treatment has been identified, the PCDC mixture is injected into the subcutaneous fat in a grid-like pattern. It then gets to work destroying the membranes of the fat cells, allowing them to absorb the PCDC. This causes the fat cells to become temporarily inflamed, harden, and burst, triggering them to release their contents. From there, the fat and cellular debris are broken down and eventually eliminated by the body’s natural responses.

What Areas Can You Treat with PCDC?

PCDC injections can effectively treat small deposits of fat all over the body, including:

·        Chin

·        Jowls

·        Upper and lower back

·        Backs of arms

·        Abdomen

·        Love handles

·        Inner and outer thighs

Who is an Ideal Candidate for PCDC?

If you have stubborn pockets of fat that you can’t just seem to get rid of through diet and exercise alone, then you’re likely an ideal candidate for PCDC. However, it is not recommended if any of the following also applies:

·        You’re pregnant or breastfeeding

·        You have soy allergies

·        You’re at an unhealthy weight

·        Your fat deposits are firm or fibrous

Also, if you have any chronic conditions then it’s best to talk with your doctor or PCDC specialist before undergoing this kind of treatment.

Are There Any Side Effects from PCDC Injections?

The most common side effects are mild in nature, such as redness, swelling, stinging, bruising, and general soreness that may last for several days after the procedure. Other more serious side effects, though rare, may include infection, skin necrosis, and nodules forming at the injection site.

How Many PCDC Treatments Will I Need?

It does depend on the individual and their exact situation, but often patients need anywhere from 3-5 treatments for best results. These treatments are usually spaced about 4-5 weeks apart, so typically it’s not too difficult to fit multiple procedures into a busy schedule.

Will PCDC Injections Permanently Remove Unwanted Fat?

Yes, this procedure is like liposuction in that it will permanently remove the fat cells from the affected areas. However, if you gain weight, the fat cells that may remain in the treatment area as well as the others throughout your body will still expand, which can minimize your results.

Is this an alternative to liposuction?

Yes is it, and less invasive. When patients want to avoid plastic surgery procedures such as liposuction, they often turn to other professionals to learn more about alternative options that may be less invasive. 

WHAT IS PCDC LIPOLYSIS, AND HOW DOES THIS FAT LIPOLYSIS INJECTION WORK?

The PCDC lipolysis treatment avoids the need for invasive liposuction to address this extra fat underneath the chin. PCDC (“phosphatidylcholine deoxycholic acid”) allows for the natural breakdown of dietary fat, which remains in the chin and neck area. It is an FDA-approved injectable that uses PCDC to achieve the results patients want–and eliminates the extra fat cells underneath the chin gradually, safely, and effectively. Fat melting has never been easier with these injections, and this continues to be a cosmetic treatment growing in popularity among both men and women in the area.

ARE PCDC INJECTIONS SAFE?

PCDC is considered to be safe for use as a fat lipolysis injection. When injected into the sarea, the compound will gradually break down the fat cells for several treatments. Once these fat cells are treated, they will not return, providing patients with long-lasting results. Most patients tolerate injections well, and any discomfort can be minimized with topical numbing cream or ice before treatment.
