What Is PCDC?
PCDC (Phosphatidylcholine and Deoxycholate) injections are a non-surgical, fat-dissolving treatment designed to target and permanently reduce stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. This advanced injectable formula combines two naturally occurring compounds—phosphatidylcholine, derived from soy, and deoxycholate, a bile acid found in the body—to safely break down and eliminate fat cells.
PCDC injections can effectively treat small to moderate fat pockets in areas such as the chin, abdomen, flanks, upper arms, thighs, and bra bulge. Each treatment session typically takes 15–30 minutes, and most clients require a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve their desired results
How Does PCDC Work?
How Does Belkyra® Work?
PCDC works by injecting Phosphatidylcholine and Deoxycholate. These acids work to disrupt the fat cell membranes, allowing the contents to be metabolized and naturally flushed out through the body’s lymphatic system. Over time, this process results in a slimmer, more contoured appearance without the need for surgery or downtime.
PCDC is ideal for treating areas such as the double chin, bra bulge, love handles, abdomen, arms, and thighs.
What Are The Benefits Of PCDC?
What Are The Benefits Of Belkyra®?
The benefits of PCDC include:
- Reduction in the appearance of fat deposits in the double chin, bra bulge, love handles, abdomen, arms, and thighs.
- Non-surgical: PCDC is a non-surgical treatment that can achieve similar results to surgical procedures like liposuction or neck lift, without the need for incisions or anesthesia.
- Minimal downtime: PCDC requires little downtime, and most people can return to their normal activities immediately following treatment.
- Permanent results: Once the fat cells are destroyed, they are permanently removed from the body, meaning the results of PCDC are long-lasting.
- Improved confidence: Many people feel self-conscious about prominent fat pockets, and reducing them with PCDC can improve their confidence and self-esteem
Who Is A Good Candidate For PCDC?
Who Is A Good Candidate For Belkyra®?
A good candidate for PCDC is someone who:
- Have subcutaneous fat pockets that they would like to reduce.
- Is in generally good health and has realistic expectations about the results of the treatment.
- Has good skin elasticity, as PCDC is not intended to treat excess skin or muscle laxity.
- Is not pregnant or breastfeeding, as the safety of PCDC in these populations has not been established.
- Does not have any soy allergies as phosphatidylcholine is derived from soy
It is important to note that PCDC is not appropriate for everyone, and a consultation with a qualified healthcare provider is necessary to determine if the treatment is right for you. During the consultation, the provider will assess your medical history, examine the area to be treated, and discuss your goals and expectations to determine if PCDC is the best option for you.

WHAT OURCLIENTS ARE SAYING
I have done 2 Cutera IPL treatments at Sunshine Kitchener Waterloo Cosmetic Clinic and Medi Spa. My skin was much more even tone immediately after the treatments. Dr. Cathy Ding is so knowledgeable and professional. She will talk you through the process so you know exactly what to expect during the service and how to care for your skin afterwards. I am going to see Dr. Ding for my 3rd session next week and couldn’t be more excited. I would 10/10 recommend this medical spa in a heartbeat.

Anytime I consider getting a procedure done I do extensive research online. Sunshine Cosmetic Clinic & Medi Spa looked like a high end medical spa with very good reviews. So I decided to do under eye filler with them. Dr. Murad was very good at the injection and patient as well. I’m extremely pleased with the results. Thanks!

I had a wonderful experience at Sunshine Kitchener Waterloo Cosmetic Clinic and Medi Spa. From the moment that you walk in, the staff is so welcoming and friendly, the decor is professional and gorgeous, and you just feel so comfortable and relax.
