KYBELLA PCDC

Kybella
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that offers a non-surgical solution for permanent fat reduction. This treatment uses deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, to break down and absorb dietary fat effectively. Kybella works by destroying fat cells in the treated area, breaking them down completely, and preventing them from storing or accumulating fat in the future. Once these fat cells are eliminated, they cannot regenerate, providing long-lasting results after achieving your desired aesthetic goals.

PCDC (Liquid Lipo)

PCDC is a compounded injectable medication that combines phosphatidylcholine (PC) and deoxycholate (DC),commonly used for non-surgical fat reduction. It is designed to break down and dissolve localized fat deposits in specific areas of the body. While similar to Kybella, which contains only deoxycholic acid and is FDA-approved for submental fat reduction, PCDC is a compounded formulation typically prepared by specialized pharmacies.

✦ PCDC: A compounded medication, often prepared by specialized pharmacies, which may not have undergone the same level of regulatory review as Kybella.
Cost

✦ PCDC: May be more cost-effective, but pricing can vary depending on the pharmacy and formulation.
Treated Areas
