Kybella / PCDC

At Source Medical Aesthetics in Matawan, NJ, Kybella and PC/DC treatments are customized to each patient's anatomy and goals, serving patients throughout Monmouth County including Marlboro, Holmdel, and Colts Neck. Kybella injections dissolve fat cells to reduce small areas of unwanted fat.  A synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring enzyme in the gut, Kybella is the only injectable approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to permanently treat the submental fat, also known as the double chin. Kybella can also be used "off-label" to treat other small pockets of fat on the body, including above the knees and elbows.

At Source Medical Aesthetics we also use "PC/DC" (phosphatidylcholine deoxycholic acid). This is a compounding medication that can be used the same way as Kybella. These acids are naturally formed in your body, and when combined with a powdered compound, it acts to dissolve areas of fat.  The body's natural processes then begin to break down and finally eliminate the fat and cellular waste. PC/DC may be preferred for use on larger areas of the body.
