What Is PCDC?

PCDC, or Phosphatidylcholine Deoxycholate, is an injectable treatment designed to reduce localized fat deposits and improve contour in areas resistant to diet and exercise. The two active compounds, phosphatidylcholine, a naturally occurring lipid, and deoxycholic acid, a bile acid used in fat metabolism, work together to break down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body.

At Auri Aesthetics in Gilbert, PCDC is administered with medical precision to refine problem areas such as the chin, jawline, jowls, abdomen, and flanks. It’s a clinically proven method for subtle contouring without surgery or extended downtime.

The Auri Approach to Fat-Dissolving Injections

Our philosophy is centered on balance and long-term outcomes. PCDC is never used to chase trends or create exaggerated definition; it is applied thoughtfully to achieve harmony and proportion. Before treatment, our providers assess your anatomy, fat distribution, and skin elasticity to ensure that results will integrate naturally with your features.

Our Process

  • Comprehensive consultation and body contour assessment
  • Detailed treatment mapping to identify optimal injection sites
  • Customized dosing for safety and precision
  • Gentle injection technique by medically trained providers
  • Ongoing follow-up to monitor progress and ensure smooth contouring

Every treatment at Auri reflects the same standard of intention and medical integrity that defines our aesthetic and wellness model.

Benefits of PCDC at Auri Aesthetics

  • Reduces localized fat deposits in targeted areas

Patients from Gilbert, Queen Creek, and the surrounding East Valley choose Auri for PCDC because of our measured, medically guided approach—where results are refined, not drastic.

Ideal Candidates for PCDC

PCDC may be ideal for adults who:

  • Have small, stubborn pockets of fat under the chin, along the jawline, or on the body
  • Want a non-surgical contouring option
  • Maintain stable body weight and healthy lifestyle habits
  • Desire definition without fillers or invasive procedures
  • Value medically supervised, results-driven care

During your consultation, your provider will determine whether PCDC is appropriate for your goals and anatomy, and may recommend complementary treatments such as radiofrequency microneedling or wellness optimization to enhance results.

What to Expect During Treatment

Appointments typically take 30–45 minutes. After cleansing and marking the treatment area, your provider administers a series of small injections using fine needles. The number of injections depends on the size of the area and the treatment plan.

You may experience mild warmth, firmness, or swelling in the area for a few days—these are normal signs that the solution is breaking down fat cells. Most patients return to work or daily activity the next day.

Aftercare Guidelines

  • Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for 24 hours
  • Refrain from intense exercise, heat, and alcohol for one to two days
  • Use a cool compress to relieve swelling or tenderness if needed
  • Stay hydrated to support natural fat metabolism
  • Sleep with your head elevated for the first night if treated under the chin

Results and Longevity

Initial improvement is often visible after several weeks as the body begins to metabolize treated fat cells. Most patients require a series of two to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart to achieve full results. Once eliminated, the fat cells do not return, making results long-lasting with stable weight and healthy habits.

At Auri, PCDC is often combined with complementary treatments, such as radiofrequency tightening or peptide therapy, to enhance contouring and maintain firm, youthful skin.

PCDC FAQs

How does PCDC work?

PCDC breaks down the membranes of fat cells in targeted areas. The body then naturally metabolizes and eliminates the fat over several weeks, resulting in a smoother, more contoured appearance.

Is PCDC the same as Kybella?

Kybella and PCDC use similar active ingredients. However, PCDC is often customized and can treat a broader range of areas, including the abdomen, thighs, and arms, depending on medical evaluation.

How many PCDC treatments will I need?

Most patients need two to four sessions for optimal results. Your provider will determine the best plan based on your goals and treatment area.

Is there downtime after PCDC?

Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or firmness in the area for a few days, but these effects are temporary.

Are PCDC results permanent?

Yes. Once fat cells are destroyed and eliminated, they do not return. Maintaining stable weight and healthy lifestyle habits helps preserve results long-term.
