PC/DC Lipodissolve
Why It’s Special?
Reduces fat in those stubborn hard to lose areas that have been non-responsive to diet and exercise, such as submental region (the double chin), bra fat, back of the arms, and lower abdomen. The compound is found naturally in our bodies that aids in the absorption and breakdown of fat cells. The cells are then eliminated via the body’s natural processes.
It is recommended for treatments to occur after 2-3 treatment, 4-6 weeks apart for best results.

Pre-treatment guidelines
•Avoid aspirin for 10 days, ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), other non-steroidal medications (Aleve) and Vitamin E, St. John’s Wort, and fish oil supplements for 5 days prior to the procedure, because these medications will make you more likely to bruise.
•If you have been prescribed one of these medications, ask your doctor before you stop taking it. Tylenol will not cause bruising and is preferred for the week prior to treatment. To avoid possible discomfort, you may take 1g of acetaminophen (i.e. Tylenol) or NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen) one hour prior to your scheduled appointment.
•Plan your procedure so that you can have 4 full days before returning to work or important social engagements.
•Have ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) and Zyrtec (an antihistamine) available at home for discomfort and itching that may result from the procedure.
Post-treatment guidelines
•After your treatment, you should expect swelling and redness. You may also experience bruising, pain, numbness, and induration. This will normally last less than 5 days, and for some patients may last up to 14 days depending on the treated areas. If the symptoms continue beyond 10 days or if other reactions occur, please contact the office.
•Do not participate in strenuous activity for 3 days following treatment.
• If your sub-mental (under chin) area was treated - sleep with your head elevated on at least 2 and preferably 3 pillows.
•Do not scratch, pick or traumatize the area in any way. Do not massage or manipulate the injection site.
•You may apply your normal skin care regimen and sunscreen normally.
