PCDC Injections

What are PCDC injections?

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) and deoxycholate (DC) are substances that already exist in the body. PC supports healthy cell function, and DC plays a role in breaking down fats during the digestive process.  

Combining PC and DC and injecting it into areas of subcutaneous fat, including the abdomen, arms, back, and thighs, helps break up and dissolve unwanted fat deposits. 

The goal of PCDC injections is to eliminate difficult-to-lose fat, even if you have a healthy lifestyle. The injections destroy the targeted fat cells, and your body metabolizes the cells naturally as waste, effectively slimming the treatment area.

Novell Primary Care and Weight Loss offers PCDC injections to adults who want to eliminate stubborn fat deposits on their face or body without surgery. The medical team customizes a treatment plan to target only the areas you want to treat so you can achieve your desired results.

When should I consider PCDC injections?

Schedule a consultation at Novell Primary Care and Weight Loss to learn more about PCDC injections if you’re unhappy with your appearance because of stubborn areas of fat in your:

• Arms
• Abdomen
• Upper back
• Lower back
• Outer and inner thighs
• Waist (love handles)

The team can also use PCDC injections to eliminate unwanted fat on the most delicate areas of your face, including your cheeks and under the chin.

Candidates for PCDC injections should be in good health and close to an ideal body weight. Treatment isn’t suitable for people with chronic health issues, firm fat deposits, or unrealistic expectations.

What can I expect during my visit for PCDC injections?

The Novell Primary Care and Weight Loss team uses a marker to create a grid-like pattern over the treatment area. They inject the combination of phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate into the fat just beneath the surface of your skin and continue to follow the grid to treat the targeted fat cells.

The injected substances break down the walls of fat cells, which then absorb the PCDC. Eventually, the cells harden, burst, and can no longer store fat. Your body naturally metabolizes the destroyed fat cells, ultimately slimming the treatment area.

Typically, a series of PCDC injections are scheduled a few weeks apart to achieve the best outcome. You can maintain your results by following a healthy diet and exercising regularly.
