PCDC
-
PCDC, or phosphatidylcholine deoxycholic acid, is a fat-dissolving treatment. This nonsurgical procedure breaks down fat cells in targeted areas, resulting in a slimmer and more toned appearance.

PCDC fat-dissolving injections offer a promising solution for reducing localized fat deposits without the need for surgery. By precisely targeting common problem areas like the chin, thighs, abdomen, and arms, these injections can significantly enhance body contours.

This procedure takes as little as 20 minutes with minimal downtime. The most common side effects include swelling around the treatment area, bruising, tenderness, itching, and redness. This typically resolves over the next few days, but may continue to be tender for up to two weeks.

Yes, PCDC is an FDA-approved treatment that has been proven to be safe and effective. However, as with any procedure, there are always some risks involved. The most common side effects include bruising, swelling, and pain at the injection site.
