Fat-dissolving PCDC injections: Shrink stubborn fat without surgery
Top Beauty Bar appreciates that most of us have a love-hate relationship with fat. As we age, fat is lost from our faces. This natural process can result in a haggard or “aged” appearance. Likewise, we may notice changes in how fat is distributed on our bodies. A taut mid-section may now feature “love handles” or a “muffin top.” No matter how much or how intensely you exercise, these stubborn fat deposits won’t budge. Fortunately, our nurse injectors in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, offer nonsurgical treatments to address both fat loss and stubborn fat pockets.
How do you treat stubborn fat?
PCDC lipolysis trims fat without surgery. Also known as “lipodissolve,” this treatment involves injecting two substances precisely into your “trouble areas.” These substances are designed to break down or dissolve fat. In fact, the term lipolysis literally means to loosen or break down fat (lipo = fat, lysis = to dissolve). Our skilled and highly qualified injectors can effectively and safely shrink your trouble spots without the risks, recovery, and downtime associated with surgical interventions like liposuction.
What does PCDC stand for?
PCDC refers to the substances that are injected and work to destroy and remove fat from the body. These substances are designed to mimic naturally occurring compounds in your body. They are:
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) – A naturally-derived compound that metabolizes fats and supports digestion and the removal of broken-down fat
Deoxycholate (DC) – A synthetic version of a bile acid or salt that is responsible for breaking down and dissolving dietary fats
How do you apply PCDC?
PCDC lipolysis is generally performed with either a topical anesthetic or a localized anesthetic injection. So, you won’t feel any discomfort as the injections are made to the treatment site(s). Once you are completely comfortable, our nurse injectors use thin needles to apply PCDC as a series of injections. Once injected, this unique fat-busting formulation begins to work by disrupting the membranes of the target fat cells. This triggers a process whereby the cells release their fatty content, and the treated fat is then naturally and safely metabolized and eliminated from your body.
What areas can you treat?
Lipodissolve is appropriate for most areas of the body that stubbornly store fat. Some of the more common areas that we treat include the abdomen, flanks or sides, saddlebags/buttocks, upper arms, thighs and hips, “bra fat”/back, and knees. This treatment may also be used on specific areas of the face, such as under the chin to reduce a double chin, and along the jawline to improve the appearance of jowls.
What can I expect after treatment?
Following treatment, you may notice injection-site swelling, bruising, and tenderness. This is normal and typically subsides within a few days. Since the breakdown and removal of fat is a process, it takes time to see full results. You may notice improvements within weeks, with the best results visible in a few months. PCDC lipolysis is generally considered to be a permanent solution to stubborn fat as it actually destroys and eliminates fat cells; however, any cells that may remain in the area or that are in non-treated areas of the body can expand in size should you gain weight. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a stable and healthy weight, as well as a lifestyle that supports your results.
