SHOULD I CONSIDER PCDC?
Sometimes, no matter how much exercise you do or how many different diets you try, you just can’t seem to get rid of the fat in certain areas of your body. It can be an incredibly frustrating situation that may tempt you to forgo healthy eating and physical activity altogether, because why bother if it’s not going to make a difference anyway?
If you are someone who struggles to get rid of stubborn fat,
then PCDC injections may be right for you!
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.
HOW DO PCDC INJECTIONS WORK?
Once the area for treatment has been identified, the PCDC mixture is injected into the subcutaneous fat with small micro injections. 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.

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 have soy allergies
- You’re at an unhealthy weight
- Your fat deposits are firm or fibrous
- You’re pregnant or breastfeeding
Also, if you have any chronic conditions then it’s best to talk with your doctor or PCDC provider 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?
This will depend on the individual and their exact situation. Often patients need anywhere from 3-5 treatments for best results, although results can be seen after one treatment. These treatments are usually spaced about 4-5 weeks apart.
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.
