Frequently Asked Questions

What Kind of Results Can I Expect?

Patients typically see a noticeable reduction in stubborn fat after just one treatment, however the best results are seen after 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

How Do Fat Dissolving Injections Work?

By using a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, to break down and destroy fat cells in the targeted area. When injected, deoxycholic acid disrupts the fat cell's membrane, causing it to rupture and be gradually eliminated by the body's natural metabolic processes. Over time, this leads to a reduction in fat.

Are Fat Dissolving Injections Safe?

PCDC fat dissolving injections are approved by the TGA. They carry a low risk of side-effects, and are generally considered very safe. You should expect to see some localised swelling around the injection site post treatment, as your body targets and breaks down the fat cells. This should go down within a few days to weeks, and results should be visible within 6-8 weeks.

How long does a treatment session take?

A treatment session typically takes around 15 to 20 minutes.

Are results permanent?

Yes, the fat cells destroyed by PCDC injections are permanently eliminated. However, maintaining a stable weight is important to prevent the development of new fat deposits.

What areas can be treated?

Submental (double chin), arms, lower abdomen, flanks, love handles, inner thighs and the buttocks.

More On Fat Dissolving Injections

Phosphatidylcholine/Deoxycholate (PCDC) is a non-surgical fat dissolving treatment that works by injecting the PCDC solution into targeted areas of stubborn unwanted fat. This medication breaks down fat cells, allowing your body to naturally eliminate them over time. PCDC is particularly effective for addressing small pockets of stubborn fat, such as double chins or love handles.

The treatment is minimally invasive, making it a popular choice for those seeking a more contoured and sculpted appearance without the need for surgery and extended downtime. The medication is injected with very fine needles directly into the unwanted fat deposits, the fat is then broken down into a soluble form and removed by normal liver and kidney function. The inflammatory process (swelling) that PCDC triggers is also responsible for creating a tightening effect on the skin in addition to the fat loss. PCDC is a naturally occurring substance found in the digestive tract, however the PCDC used in lipodissolve is derived from soy, so you should not have the treatment if you have a soy allergy.

Common side effects:

  1. Swelling: Swelling in the treatment area is a common side effect and can last for several days after the procedure, the first 3-4 days is generally the most obvious.
  2. Bruising: Bruising at the injection site is another common side effect and can vary in severity. It typically resolves within a week or so.
  3. Pain or Discomfort: Some individuals may experience pain, tenderness, or discomfort at the injection site. This discomfort is usually temporary and can be managed with a cold compress and over-the-counter pain relievers such as paracetamol.
  4. Numbness: Temporary numbness or altered sensation in the treatment area may occur, and typically resolves within 2 weeks.
  5. Redness: Redness or warmth at the injection site can occur and typically subsides within a few hours to a few days.
  6. Difficulty Swallowing: In some cases, individuals may experience temporary difficulty swallowing or a feeling of tightness in the throat after PCDC treatment. This is usually mild and short-lived.

It’s important to note that these side effects are generally mild and temporary. More serious complications, such as nerve injury or skin ulceration, are rare but will be discussed in your consultation.

What happens in the appointment?

  1. Your practitioner will assess the area of concern and complete a thorough consultation. Area to be treated is cleaned and marked.
  2. The treatment area can be numbed on request with ice or topical anaesthetic. The PCDC solution contains a local anaesthetic for minimal discomfort.
  3. Depending on the size of the area, a number of injections (5-30) are made with a very fine needle. The injecting process only takes 15-30 minutes and is thoroughly massaged at the end.
