PCDC, Kybella, Fat Dissolving Injections

Reduce unwanted fat in the face and body. If you can pinch it, we can slim it!

What is it?

Fat-dissolving injections are composed of PCDC (phosphatidylcholine deoxycholate). DC breaks down fat, and PC aids in fat breakdown and allows the fat through the liver and kidneys. PCDC can be used to reduce stubborn pockets of fat in the face, neck, and body.

BEFORE & AFTER

FAQs

What can be expected during treatment?

The area being treated will first be numbed with numbing cream, numbing injections, or both. Once you are adequately numbed, the PCDC will be evenly distributed into the subcutaneous tissue via a needle or a cannula. Treatments will require Multiple injections. The area is massaged after treatment to ensure even distribution of the PCDC. The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes.

What is the pain or discomfort associated with treatment?

Topical or injectable numbing makes the procedure itself very tolerable. It is normal to experience warmth or a burning/stinging sensation when the PCDC is injected. Tenderness/soreness is to be expected after the procedure. An ice pack can be used as needed for pain.

What are pre-care instructions before a treatment?

We highly recommend eating a light, healthy meal and avoiding exercise the day of your procedure.

What is the downtime after a treatment?

At Skin Deep, we define downtime as being unable to work or go out in public. Downtime is unique to every patient. Typically fat dissolving treatment has 24-72 hours of downtime. Redness, swelling, tenderness/soreness, and bruising can occur. Redness will typically resolve in 24-72 hours. Swelling, tenderness, soreness, and bruising usually go away within 1-2 weeks. Can use Arnica gel or capsules to treat swelling and bruising.

What are the aftercare instructions after a Botox treatment?

Avoid smoking, exercise, UV light, and heat (saunas, steam, tanning beds, hot showers, etc.) 24 hours after treatment. Avoid alcohol and other substances that affect liver and kidney function for 3-5 days after treatment. It is normal to feel firmness at the injection sites for 24 hours after treatment. If a lump is present, massage it gently 2-3 times per day for up to 72 hours after treatment. If the face or neck were treated, sleep with the head slightly elevated as long as swelling persists. You should also wear compression garments for several hours per day until swelling resolves.

When can I expect to notice the results of my treatment?

Results can be seen 4 to 6 weeks after treatment.

How long will the results last?

The fat cells in the treated area are permanently destroyed. Results will be permanent as long as you maintain your weight. Hormonal changes such as pregnancy may affect results.
