3–5 Days Before

• 💊 Avoid blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E) unless prescribed by your doctor

• ❌ No alcohol – it can increase bruising and swelling

• 💧 Stay well-hydrated – healthy lymphatic drainage helps flush fat cells

• 🧴 Discontinue retinoids or active skincare on treatment area (if facial)

24–48 Hours Before

• 🥗 Eat light, healthy meals to support your immune system

• 🧘‍♀️ Avoid strenuous exercise or heat exposure (hot tubs, saunas)

• 🚫 No tanning or sunburns on treatment areas

Day of Your Appointment

• 👕 Wear loose, comfortable clothing – avoid anything that compresses the treatment area

• 🧼 Come with clean skin – no lotion, oil, or makeup on the area

• 📸 Before photos may be taken to track your progress

• 💉 Topical numbing may be applied depending on the area and your provider’s protocol

Most clients describe the treatment as mild to moderately uncomfortable, but very tolerable.

• You may feel a pinch or stinging sensation during the injections

• A burning or warm sensation is common as the solution spreads through the fat tissue

• Some areas (like under the chin) may be more sensitive than others

✨ Topical numbing or ice packs are often used before treatment to minimize discomfort, and the entire procedure takes just 15–30 minutes.

After the treatment, you may experience:

• Swelling, tenderness, firmness, or itching in the area for several days

• Mild soreness, like a bruise or muscle ache, which can be managed with Tylenol (avoid ibuprofen or aspirin unless cleared by your provider)

Most clients say the discomfort is short-lived and well worth the results!

PCDC is a non-surgical fat-dissolving treatment with minimal downtime, but some temporary side effects are expected as part of the healing process.

💉 What to Expect:

• Swelling: Common and expected, especially in the first 3–7 days

• Tenderness & Firmness: The treated area may feel sore, firm, or tender to the touch for up to 2 weeks

• Bruising: Varies by person and area; usually mild to moderate

• Numbness or itching: Can occur and typically resolves within a week

• Lumps or unevenness: May form temporarily and smooth out over time as your body metabolizes the fat

Most clients return to work and normal activities the same or next day

• Avoid strenuous workouts, heat (saunas, hot tubs), and tight clothing on the area for 48 hours

• Full results are gradual — visible improvement typically begins around 3–4 weeks post-treatment and continues over the next few months

PCDC permanently destroys fat cells in the treated area — so results can be long-lasting or even permanent when paired with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

🧬 Here’s what to know:

• The fat cells that are destroyed do not come back

• Results are gradual, usually visible around 3–4 weeks after treatment, with continued improvement for up to 12 weeks

• Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results, depending on the area and fat volume

• If weight is regained, remaining fat cells in untreated areas can still expand

You may be a great candidate for PCDC if you:

✅ Have small, stubborn pockets of fat that won’t go away with diet or exercise
✅ Want to avoid surgery or liposuction
✅ Are close to your goal weight but want to refine and contour certain areas
✅ Struggle with areas like the double chin, bra bulge, lower belly, love handles, inner thighs, or upper arms
✅ Want a gradual, natural-looking fat reduction with little to no downtime
✅ Are committed to a healthy lifestyle to maintain results

🛑 You may not be a candidate if:

• You’re pregnant or breastfeeding

• You have liver disease or uncontrolled medical conditions

• You’re looking for a major weight loss solution

• You’re unwilling to commit to multiple sessions and post-care

⏳ What to Expect After Treatment

• Swelling is normal and may peak within 2–3 days

• Tenderness, redness, and firmness are common in the treated area

• Bruising or small lumps may develop but will resolve over time

• Mild numbness or itching can occur and usually subsides within 1–2 weeks

• Gradual fat reduction begins at 3–4 weeks, with full results visible around 8–12 weeks

✅ Do’s

• 💧 Stay well-hydrated – water helps flush out destroyed fat cells

• 🛌 Sleep slightly elevated to minimize swelling for the first 1–2 nights

• 🧘‍♀️ Rest as needed and listen to your body

• 🧴 Apply cold compresses (not ice packs) for the first 24 hours to ease swelling

• Wear loose-fitting clothing around the treated area to avoid pressure

🚫 Don’ts (for 48–72 hours)

• ❌ No strenuous exercise or intense cardio

• ❌ Avoid alcohol and salty foods (they can worsen swelling)

• ❌ No hot tubs, saunas, or steam rooms

• ❌ Don’t massage or press on the area unless directed by your provider

• ❌ Do not take ibuprofen or aspirin unless medically necessary (Tylenol is OK)
