Liquid Lipo in Coral Gables.
Sculpting, without surgery. Liquid Lipo uses PCDC, a fat-dissolving compound, injected to gently reduce pockets that resist diet and exercise, performed by Marcella Valdes, MMS, PA-C.
What Liquid Lipo actually does.
Liquid Lipo uses PCDC, a fat-dissolving compound injected directly into stubborn fat pockets. Once injected, PCDC breaks down fat cell membranes, allowing the body to naturally process and eliminate the fat over the following weeks. It's a non-surgical alternative for areas that tend to resist diet and exercise.
Most commonly used for the submental area (under the chin), Liquid Lipo can also be used on other stubborn areas like the abdomen or flanks, gradually and gently reducing fat without incisions or general anesthesia.

PCDC is a fat-dissolving compound injected directly into targeted fat pockets. It works by breaking down fat cell membranes, allowing your body to naturally process and eliminate the fat over the weeks following treatment.
Liquid Lipo is most commonly used for submental fat, under the chin, but can also be used on other areas of stubborn fat like the abdomen or flanks. Treatable areas are discussed at consultation.
Most patients need a series of sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to see full results, since fat is gradually broken down and processed by the body rather than removed all at once. The exact number depends on the area and amount of fat being treated.
Most patients return to normal activity the same day. Swelling, tenderness, and firmness at the treatment site are common for several days to a week or more, particularly under the chin, and are a normal part of the process.
Since the treated fat is broken down and processed gradually, most patients notice changes over 4 to 8 weeks after each session, with continued improvement as the full series is completed.
