Collagen-Stimulating Treatment
PCDC Injections
Stubborn fat on the body, the love handles, lower abdomen, or inner thighs, often resists even a disciplined diet and consistent exercise. PCDC injections offer a non-surgical way to target those localized pockets and refine your contour without incisions or downtime. At Absolute Medical Wellness and Aesthetics, our licensed medical providers administer PCDC injections with careful technique and honest guidance, so you understand exactly what the treatment can and cannot do before you ever begin.
What PCDC Injections Treat
PCDC injections, short for phosphatidylcholine deoxycholate, are a fat dissolving treatment used to reduce small, localized pockets of fat that have not responded to diet and exercise. The treatment combines two naturally occurring compounds: deoxycholate, a bile salt that disrupts the membrane of fat cells, and phosphatidylcholine, which helps emulsify the released fat so the body can flush it away through its own processes.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
A PCDC session involves a series of small injections placed directly into the targeted fat. Your provider will determine the number of injections and the dose based on the size of the area and your goals. Most patients describe a stinging or warm sensation during and shortly after treatment that settles before long. Because PCDC works by breaking down fat cells that your body then clears gradually, results develop over a series of sessions rather than appearing immediately.
PCDC Injections or Kybella?
Both treatments dissolve fat using deoxycholic acid, and both deliver permanent results once the destroyed fat cells are cleared, but they differ in important ways. Kybella is a purified, standardized, FDA-approved formulation used primarily for the chin, which gives it a consistent and well-studied profile. PCDC is compounded, can vary somewhat by provider or pharmacy, and is used off-label across a broader range of body areas, often at a more accessible price point.
Why Choose Absolute Medical Wellness and Aesthetics for PCDC Injections

What Our Patients Say
Frequently Asked Questions About PCDC Injections
Are PCDC injections FDA-approved?
No. PCDC injections are compounded and used off-label, which means they are not FDA-approved for fat reduction. Kybella, which uses deoxycholic acid for fat under the chin, is the only FDA-approved fat dissolving injectable.
What areas can PCDC injections treat?
PCDC is commonly used for small, stubborn pockets of fat such as the love handles and flanks, lower abdomen, bra bulge, inner thighs, and the area under the chin and jawline.
Are PCDC injection results permanent?
Yes. Once the fat cells in the treated area are destroyed and cleared by the body, they do not regenerate, so the results are considered permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight.
How many PCDC sessions will I need?
Most patients need multiple sessions, commonly between two and four depending on the area and the amount of fat, spaced several weeks apart. Your provider will outline an expected treatment plan during your consultation.
Is there downtime after PCDC injections?
Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Swelling in the treated area is expected and is a sign the treatment is working; bruising, redness, tenderness, numbness, or firmness can also occur and typically resolve over several days.
Do PCDC injections hurt?
Most patients describe a pinch followed by a warm or stinging sensation as the product takes effect. The appointment is quick, and numbing options and cold packs help keep you comfortable. Any discomfort is generally short-lived.
Am I a good candidate for PCDC injections?
The best candidates are at or near a stable, healthy weight with small, stubborn pockets of fat that have not responded to diet and exercise, and realistic expectations. PCDC is not a weight loss solution. A consultation with one of our medical providers is the most reliable way to find out if it is right for you.
