PPC Injections for Localised Fat Reduction

PPC Injections for Localised Fat Reduction at Skinovate

Safe • Targeted • Non-Surgical Fat Loss

PPC injections (Phosphatidylcholine + Deoxycholate), also commonly known as fat-dissolving injections, are an advanced non-surgical procedure used to reduce small pockets of stubborn fat that do not respond to diet or exercise.
At Skinovate, our trained cosmetologists and dermatologists perform this treatment under strict clinical protocols to ensure safety, precision, and visible results.

What Are PPC Fat-Dissolving Injections?

PPC (Phosphatidylcholine) and DC (Deoxycholate) are naturally derived compounds that break down fat cell membranes, causing the fat to liquefy.
Your body then naturally eliminates this dissolved fat through metabolic pathways.

This makes PPC injections ideal for body contouring in focused areas—without surgery, without anaesthesia, and without downtime.

Areas Treated with PPC Injections

PPC injections are effective for small, stubborn fat pockets such as:

How the Procedure Works (Step-by-Step)

1. Consultation & Fat Assessment
Our Skinovate doctor assesses the fat density, skin type, medical history, and expected outcomes to design a customised treatment plan.
2. Mapping of Fat Pockets
The target area is marked to ensure precise and symmetrical injection placement.
3. Application of Numbing Cream
A topical anaesthetic is applied to minimise discomfort.
4. Micro-Injections of PPC Solution
Using a fine needle, the PPC solution is injected evenly into the fat layer (subcutaneous layer). Patients typically feel mild warmth or tingling during the procedure.
5. Breakdown of Fat Cells
Over the next 72 hours, the injected solution works to dissolve fat cell membranes, gradually reducing the size of the fat pocket.
6. Natural Elimination
Your lymphatic system metabolises and removes the dissolved fat over 2–4 weeks.
7. Visible Result Timeline
Most patients need 3–6 sessions, 2–3 weeks apart, depending on the fat density.
