What is PCDC?
💉PCDC = Phosphatidylcholine (PC) + Deoxycholic Acid (DC)
* Deoxycholic Acid (DC) is the key active ingredient — it breaks down fat cell membranes
* Phosphatidylcholine (PC) helps emulsify and transport the fat so the body can eliminate it
👉 Once injected into the fat layer:
* Fat cells are destroyed (not just shrunk)
* The body naturally metabolizes and removes them over weeks
Think of it as spot-reducing fat in targeted areas, not overall weight loss.
✅ Common Treatment Areas
* Double chin (submental fat)
* Jawline / jowls
* Abdomen
* Love handles / flanks
* Inner & outer thighs
* Arms (bra fat)
* Back fat
🔥Good Candidates
✅ PCDC works best for clients who:
✔️ Are close to their goal weight
✔️ Have small, localized fat pockets (pinchable fat)
✔️ Have good skin elasticity (important for tightening after fat loss)
✔️ Are committed to hydration, diet, and lifestyle support
✔️ Understand results are gradual and require multiple sessions
💡 Ideal mindset: “I’m fit but have stubborn areas I can’t get rid of.”
❌NOT Ideal Candidates
🚫 Pregnant or breastfeeding
🚫 Active infection in treatment area
🚫 Severe skin laxity (may need RF/skin tightening instead)
🚫 Large volume fat / obesity (better suited for weight loss)
🚫 Liver disease or certain metabolic conditions (requires medical clearance)
What to Expect
* Sessions: Usually 2–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart
* Downtime: Swelling, tenderness, possible bruising (especially chin area = “bullfrog look” temporarily)
* Results: Start showing in 3–4 weeks, improve over time
* Permanent fat reduction in treated area (if weight is maintained)
Pro Tip (for your clients)
For best results, combine with:
* Lymphatic drainage (helps move broken-down fat)
* Hydration + low sugar/carb intake post-treatment
* Cavitation / RF / pressotherapy as add-ons
