PCDC Lipolysis

PCDC lipolysis (fat dissolving injections) is a non-surgical injectable treatment that breaks down and reduces stubborn fat for improved contour and definition.

  • PCDC lipolysis uses a compound of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and deoxycholic acid (DC) to break down fat cell membranes. Once disrupted, the body naturally metabolizes and eliminates these fat cells over time, leading to gradual fat reduction in targeted areas.

  • Localized Fat (Submental / Double Chin) - Reduces fullness under the chin to improve jawline definition.

    Jawline & Lower Face Contour - Refines areas of mild fullness to enhance facial structure.

    Body Areas
    Can be used on small pockets of stubborn fat such as:

    • Abdomen

    • Flanks (love handles)

    • Inner thighs

    • Upper arms

    • Non-surgical fat reduction: No incisions or anesthesia required

    • Targets stubborn fat: Ideal for areas resistant to diet and exercise

    • Permanent fat reduction: Destroyed fat cells do not return

    • Gradual, natural-looking results: Fat reduces over weeks

    • Minimal downtime: Resume most daily activities quickly

    • Customizable treatment: Tailored to specific areas and goals

  • 24–48 hours before:

    • Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications/supplements

    Day of treatment:

    • Stay hydrated

    • Eat beforehand

    • Swelling, tenderness, and firmness in the treated area

    • Possible bruising

    • Gradual reduction in fat over 4-6 weeks

    Swelling is a normal and expected part of the treatment process.

FAQs

It’s important to us that you feel comfortable and clear about all elements of PCDC lipolysis before deciding if it’s right for you. We’ve put together answers to the questions we get most when patients are deciding if PCDC lipolysis is a good fit.

  • You may be a good candidate if you:

    • Have small, localized fat deposits (e.g. double chin or body pockets)

    • Are close to or at your ideal weight but want targeted contouring

    • Prefer a non-surgical alternative to liposuction

    • Have good skin elasticity for optimal contouring results

  • It primarily reduces fat. Mild skin tightening may occur, but additional treatments may be recommended for laxity.

  • When performed by a qualified medical provider, it is considered safe. Proper patient selection is important.

    • Under chin (submental area)

    • Jawline

    • Abdomen

    • Flanks

    • Inner thighs

    • Upper arms

  • Most patients require a minimum of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the area and amount of fat being treated.

  • Results develop gradually over 4-8 weeks as the body metabolizes the dissolved fat. Improvement continues with each session.

  • There is minimal downtime as it relates to activities, but significant swelling is expected—especially under the chin—and may last several days to over a week depending on the area treated.

  • PCDC is non-surgical with less downtime and risks  but produces more gradual and subtle results compared to liposuction. It is not a substitue for liposuction.

  • Pricing varies depending on the area treated and number of sessions required. The cost per area, per session is $650. A consultation is recommended for a personalized plan.

  • All treatments and services are non-refundable.
