Liquid lipo is the informal name for injectable fat reduction using PCDC. It's injected into a small, defined pocket of fat, where it disrupts the fat cells so your body clears them over the following weeks. There's no surgery, no anaesthetic and no incision.

How much does PCDC cost?

A small area is $300 here and a larger area is $500. Most people need a series rather than a single session, so your consultation will give you a realistic total rather than a per-session figure alone.

How many sessions will I need?

It varies with the area and how much is being treated. Most people need several sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Your provider will give you an honest estimate after assessing the area — and will tell you if you're better served by something else.

How long is the swelling?

Swelling is expected and is part of how the treatment works. Under the chin it can be noticeable for several days and occasionally longer. Plan around anything important in that first week.

Is this a weight-loss treatment?

No. PCDC reduces specific small pockets of fat for contour. It won't change the number on a scale and isn't a substitute for weight management. If weight loss is your goal, say so at consultation and we'll talk about what actually fits.

Liquid Lipo

PCDC fat-dissolving injections

A non-surgical alternative to liposuction for the small, stubborn pockets that don't respond to diet and exercise. PCDC injections permanently destroy fat cells, which your body then clears naturally. An in-person consultation is required before booking.

PCDC · Small Area

$300

½ vial per session · 1–2 sessions on average

PCDC (phosphatidylcholine/deoxycholate) injections — also known as Liquid Lipo — permanently destroy fat cells in targeted areas by disrupting the cell membrane, letting the body naturally eliminate the fat through the lymphatic system. Small area treatments are ideal for the chin (double chin), bra fat, armpit fat, knee fat, and small localized pockets.

PCDC · Large Area

$500

1 vial per session · 2–3 sessions on average

Large area treatments are suited for the abdomen, flanks, back, inner and outer thighs, and other broader zones. Fat dissolving works gradually over several weeks as your lymphatic system clears the disrupted fat cells; multiple sessions are typically needed to reach your desired result.

Good to know

What PCDC can and can't do

PCDC is an injectable compound that disrupts small, stubborn pockets of fat so the body clears them gradually. It is a contouring treatment for areas that haven't responded to diet or training — under the chin is the classic one — and it is not a weight-loss treatment.

Results are gradual and cumulative. Most people need a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart, and the change shows up over months rather than days. Swelling after treatment is expected and can be significant in the first few days, particularly under the chin.

Candidacy matters here more than with most treatments. The right candidate has a defined pocket of fat and skin with enough elasticity to retract as that pocket reduces. Your consultation establishes whether that's you.

Treated areas
Under the chin, jowls, bra line, upper arms, abdomen and other small pockets.
Sessions needed
Usually a series, spaced several weeks apart.
Results appear
Gradually over weeks to months as the body clears the treated fat.
Downtime
Expect swelling and tenderness for several days, sometimes longer under the chin.
Not a weight-loss treatment
It contours specific pockets; it does not reduce overall body weight.
Candidacy
Assessed at consultation — skin elasticity and the nature of the pocket both matter.

“As someone who is new to Austin, I was honestly nervous about finding an injector I could trust. I had been putting off getting my old lip filler dissolved because I was scared of booking with someone new — Leyla made it easy.”
