Our providers tailor Kybella or PCDC to your unique needs, precisely reducing fat while maintaining your natural proportions. We combine medical expertise with advanced techniques to help you look and feel your best without surgery.
Fat Dissolving at the Cellular Level
Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that breaks down dietary fat. When injected into certain areas, it destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by your body over several weeks. PCDC (phosphatidylcholine deoxycholate) works similarly, offering an alternative or complementary approach for stubborn pockets of fat. Once these cells are gone, they cannot return, making results permanent so long as you maintain a stable weight. Treatments are quick, with little downtime.
Answers to Common Questions
Yes. Kybella works by permanently destroying fat cells in the treated area. Once these cells are eliminated, they cannot regenerate, which means the reduction is lasting. However, remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain weight, so maintaining a stable, healthy lifestyle helps preserve your results. Most patients enjoy noticeable improvements in their jawline and chin contour that stay natural-looking and defined over time.
After treatment, mild swelling, redness, bruising, or numbness at the injection site is common and typically lasts up to a week. Most patients can return to work and normal activities immediately. To reduce swelling and optimize results, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours. Applying ice packs and following your provider’s post-care instructions can help minimize discomfort and speed recovery.
