Double-Chin Treatment
in Melbourne FL
What is PCDC Lipolysis?
PCDC lipolysis is an injectable cosmetic treatment used to break down excess fat in the submental area, most commonly referred to as a “double chin.” The procedure provides a safe, effective way to eliminate pockets of fat beneath the chin to create a slimmer neck and jawline.
How does PCDC Lipolysis Work?
The PCDC in PCDC lipolysis stands for “phosphatidylcholine deoxycholic acid,” which is the active ingredient in the treatment. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body, and when the synthetic version is introduced to fat cells, those cells become inflamed and hardened before being broken down by the body’s natural processes.
Benifits of PCDC Lipolysis for Double-Chin Treatments
PCDC lipolysis offers the following benefits to patients with excess submental fat:
- Reduced “double chin” appearance
- Slimmer, more youthful-looking neck and jawline
- Increased self-confidence
- Quick, simple treatment
- Minimal recovery downtime
- Long-lasting results
What Should I Expect During the Procedure?
If you’re interested in undergoing PCDC lipolysis treatment, you can start the process by having a consultation with one of our injection experts. They will discuss the treatment with you to determine your goals and whether or not it’s the right procedure for you.
The procedure itself will be performed on an outpatient basis and should take between 30 minutes and an hour to complete. First, your injection specialist will administer local anesthesia to the area being treated. They may also ice the area for several minutes. Next, they will use a fine needle to inject the PCDC medication into the submental fat.
Once the procedure is finished, you’ll be able to leave the office and return to your daily activities immediately. However, it will require several treatments to thoroughly eliminate the fat cells in the target area.
