Fat Dissolving in Kelowna

PCDC (Phosphatidylcholine Deoxycholate) is an injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body, to break down and absorb fat cells beneath the chin. Once these fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, resulting in permanent fat reduction. 

The treatment targets the submental area to create a more defined and sculpted jawline. At Kelowna Hills, our physician-led injectors precisely map the treatment zone to ensure symmetry and optimal contouring. Over several sessions, PCDC gradually improves your profile, helping you look slimmer and more confident. Results are permanent as long as a stable weight is maintained.

You may begin noticing visible changes within 4–6 weeks after your first Fat Dissolving treatment as your body naturally eliminates the destroyed fat cells. The area under the chin gradually becomes slimmer and more defined with each session. Because results develop progressively, patience is key as your final outcome reveals itself over several weeks.

Most clients achieve their desired profile after two to four sessions spaced about a month apart. Once fat cells are removed, they cannot regenerate, providing a lasting transformation. The result is a smoother, sculpted, and more confident appearance that continues to refine with time.

The number of sessions required depends on the amount of submental fat and your desired level of contouring. Most clients need two to four treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart to achieve their best results. Each session builds upon the last as PCDC (Phosphatidylcholine Deoxycholate) continues to break down fat cells over time.

Your injector will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic goals. While noticeable improvement can be seen after the first session, final results typically appear 8–12 weeks after your last treatment. Once achieved, the results are long-lasting, with no further maintenance needed.
