ISome areas of fat can be surprisingly stubborn. Even with consistent workouts and healthy eating, small pockets under the chin, on the lower abdomen, along the thighs, or near the flanks may not change much. When the concern is localized fat rather than overall weight, an injectable option may be worth learning about.
At Wheeler Med Spa in Oklahoma City, Lipo Dissolve injections are used for targeted fat reduction in select treatment areas. Adrienne Jantz, a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner and Owner, leads the practice and brings medical training and aesthetic judgment to injectable treatment planning.
What Are Lipo Dissolve Injections?
Lipo Dissolve injections, also called PCDC, use phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate. These compounds are used to break down fat cells in small, localized areas. After the fat cells are disrupted, the body gradually processes and eliminates them.
This treatment is not a substitute for weight loss. It is best suited for people who are close to their goal weight but want to refine small areas that have not responded well to diet and exercise.
Areas Often Treated With Lipo Dissolve
Lipo Dissolve may be considered for small fat deposits in areas such as:
- Under the chin
- Lower abdomen
- Inner thighs
- Outer thighs
- Flanks or love handles
Your provider will evaluate the area first. The thickness of the fat, skin quality, and your goals all matter when deciding whether this treatment makes sense.
What Happens During Treatment?
Treatment involves a series of small injections placed directly into the fatty layer. The number of sessions depends on the treatment area and the amount of correction you want.
Results appear gradually as your body processes the treated fat cells. Some swelling, redness, tenderness, or a stinging sensation can happen after injections. Most people can return to normal activities soon after treatment, although your provider will explain what to expect based on your plan.
How Long Do Results Last?
After Lipo Dissolve breaks down the treated fat cells, your body gradually processes and removes them. However, untreated fat cells in the area can still grow as you gain weight, which is why healthy habits and weight maintenance matter after treatment.
