Phosphatidylcholine Deoxycholic Acid (PCDC) treatment, often referred to as injection lipolysis, is a non-surgical procedure performed by skilled and certified professionals at ENHANCED Medical Spa and is designed to reduce and eliminate fat deposits in targeted areas of the body. This treatment is a popular alternative to invasive procedures like liposuction for small areas of stubborn fat.
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) and Deoxycholic Acid (DC) are the two active ingredients in these treatments. PC is a natural substance found in our body, required for many vital functions, including fat metabolism. DC Acid is a bile acid that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the subcutaneous fat, these substances work together to disrupt the fat cells’ membranes, causing them to swell, break down, and eventually be eliminated from the body through the lymphatic and circulation systems. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, chin, and areas of the body that have stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise.
PCDC, like any other injectable treatment, can cause some level of discomfort or pain. At ENHANCED, conveniently located in downtown Eagle, we use a very small needle and minimize discomfort through the use of cold therapy with an icepack.
Minimal to none. Bruising and swelling, along with discomfort at the injection site, are the common side effects, and they are generally mild and temporary.
The treatments are usually performed in a series, with patients typically requiring multiple sessions to achieve desired results. The number of treatment sessions varies according to the size and number of fat deposits being targeted.
PCDC treatments can be added to any other treatment at ENHANCED An Aesthetic & Wellness Experience. This treatment pairs well with EXION Body treatments to improve fat-dissolving results. EXION microneedling with Radio Frequency to improve skin laxity is also a complimenting treatment.
