Question 1

What are PCDC injections and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

PCDC stands for Phosphatidylcholine and Deoxycholate—compounds that work together to break down and eliminate localized fat through a natural metabolic process. Once injected, fat cells are destroyed and removed by the lymphatic system.

Question 2

How many treatments will I need?

Accepted Answer

Most people need 2–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area, fat volume, and individual goals.

Question 3

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

Results develop gradually over 4–8 weeks as the body metabolizes the destroyed fat cells. Improvements continue after each session.

Question 4

Is there downtime after the treatment?

Accepted Answer

Mild swelling, tenderness, bruising, and firmness are common for a few days. Most clients return to normal activities the same day or next.

Question 5

Are the results permanent?

Accepted Answer

Yes—once fat cells are destroyed, they don’t regenerate. However, maintaining results requires stable weight and a healthy lifestyle.

Question 6

Who is a good candidate for PCDC injections?

Accepted Answer

Ideal candidates are healthy adults with localized, pinchable fat resistant to diet and exercise. It’s not suitable for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or significantly overweight.

Question 7

What’s the difference between PCDC and Kybella/Belkyra?

Accepted Answer

Both contain deoxycholic acid, but PCDC combines it with phosphatidylcholine, which may offer a more balanced fat metabolism and less post-treatment swelling. PCDC is also used off-label in more body areas.
