Fat-Dissolving Injections

PCDC fat-melting injections break down fat cells, eliminating and preventing fat from growing in stubborn areas like the chin, jawline, abdomen, inner thighs, and upper arms. 

PCDC can improve the appearance of:

Double chin

  • Undefined jawline

  • Small “pouch” on the abdomen

  • Bra fat areas

  • Upper arms

PCDC and Kybella® are not a weightloss solution, but we can help with that, too.

PCDC Downtime: Minimal. You should avoid intense physical activity for the first 24-48 hours to reduce swelling, which may persist for up to two

Frequently asked questions

  • Not all pockets of fat can be dieted and exercised away.

    Phosphatidylcholine deoxycholate (PCDC), commonly referred to as “fat-dissolving injections,” works by breaking down fat cells in targeted areas. PCDC destroys fat cells, which the body then metabolizes and removes naturally. No fat cells = no place for fat to exist and grow.

  • There is little to no downtime associated with neurotoxin injections. You may experience some minor discomfort or swelling, but this will fade in a day or two.

  • Most people feel a pinch from the needle and a slight warmth as the PCDC works on the treatment area. If you have a lower pain tolerance, it may feel more like a mild cramp. As long as you follow your aftercare instructions closely, you should avoid any real pain or major discomfort. 

  • Yes! PCDC injections, like Kybella, are an effective way to treat specific pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Our patients especially love to use PCDC for double chin removal, and to achieve a more defined jawline.
