At United Medical Aesthetics, our providers are dedicated to providing the best possible care for patients ready to enhance their appearance. For those seeking a double chin treatment that doesn’t require surgical intervention, PCDC fat-dissolving injections might be the best solution! We are here to educate patients on how these shots work at breaking down unwanted fat under the chin and neck to provide a more contoured jawline and take away the appearance of added weight! Below are a few frequently asked questions about PCDC fat-dissolving injections at our Wilmington, North Carolina, area office.
PCDC is the acronym for phosphatidylcholine deoxycholic acid. This active ingredient is used to break down fat where it is injected. These localized fat deposits are then flushed through the body’s lymphatic system to achieve an improved contour in the chin and jaw area.
There are many reasons why our patients love this cosmetic injectable. It is:
Absolutely! Our PCDC injections have been used in other countries with a high safety profile for several years. However, patients should only receive these injections from a trained and experienced medical provider to ensure proper administration and minimize potential risks.
The duration of results varies between patients depending on their natural metabolism and specific lifestyle habits. Generally, our patients see noticeable improvements after two to three treatment sessions spaced approximately six weeks apart. Results can last several years with a healthy diet and active lifestyle. While the fat cells break down and cannot reappear, the current fat cells can enlarge, so maintaining a proper weight is critical to ensuring lasting improvements!
