LIPODISSOLVE - Fat Dissolving Injections

By Julie Yang

Phosphatidylcholine deoxycholate (PCDC) injections, also known as lipodissolve or mesotherapy, have become a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment for reducing localized fat deposits in various areas of the body. At AE.R Skinlab, we offer PCDC injections as a safe and effective way for patients to achieve a more contoured and toned appearance without the need for surgery.

How do PCDC injections work?

PCDC injections work by breaking down the membranes of fat cells in the targeted area, causing them to release their contents into the surrounding tissue. The deoxycholate component of the injection helps to emulsify and dissolve the fat, making it easier for the body to eliminate through natural processes such as urine and feces.

What are the benefits of PCDC injections?

There are several benefits to using PCDC injections as a cosmetic treatment option:

• Non-surgical: PCDC injections are a non-surgical alternative to more invasive procedures such as liposuction or tummy tucks.
• Targeted fat reduction: PCDC injections can be used to target specific areas of the body where fat tends to accumulate, such as the hips, thighs, and abdomen.
• Minimal downtime: Unlike surgical procedures that require significant recovery time, PCDC injections typically require little to no downtime.
• Natural-looking results: PCDC injections can provide patients with natural-looking results that enhance their appearance without looking overly exaggerated or fake.

   

What can patients expect during the PCDC injection procedure?

At AE.R Skinlab, PCDC injections are administered by a qualified and experienced medical professional. During the procedure, a fine-gauge needle is used to inject the deoxycholate mixture directly into the targeted area. Depending on the size and location of the treatment area, multiple injections may be required to achieve the desired results.

Most patients report little to no pain during the procedure, and any discomfort is usually mild and short-lived. After the injections are complete, patients can typically return to their normal activities immediately.

What are the potential risks of PCDC injections?

Like any medical procedure, PCDC injections carry some potential risks and side effects. These may include:

• Pain and swelling at the injection site
• Bruising or discoloration of the skin
• Allergic reactions.

It is important for patients to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits of PCDC injections before deciding to undergo this treatment. At our clinic, we take a thorough medical history to determine whether a patient is a suitable candidate for PCDC injections.
