Kybella® & PCDC

Fat-Dissolving Injections

in Pittsford, NY

Define Your Profile, Refine Your Confidence

At Select Health Collective  we offer advanced fat-dissolving injections designed to permanently reduce small, stubborn areas of unwanted fat. Our two treatment options, Kybella® and PCDC, use targeted, clinically backed formulations to break down fat cells that do not respond to diet or exercise. Once destroyed, these cells are naturally eliminated by the body for lasting improvement.


We provide both FDA-approved Kybella® and PCDC, a highly effective compound that can also support mild skin tightening in select areas. Every treatment plan is fully customized based on your anatomy, goals, and individual response, ensuring safe, precise, and natural-looking contour refinement.

Why Patients Choose Fat-Dissolving Injections

Even with a healthy lifestyle, certain areas of the body can hold onto fat that feels impossible to lose. Fat-dissolving injections offer a non-surgical, precise way to sculpt and refine your profile—especially around the chin and jawline.

Benefits may include:

  • Permanent reduction of treated fat cells
  • Enhanced chin, jawline, and lower-face contour
  • Ability to treat multiple small, stubborn areas
  • No surgery or sutures
  • Minimal downtime
  • Gradual, natural results that blend seamlessly with your features

Treatment Options

PCDC

PCDC is a compounded formulation known for being more potent than Kybella® and is often preferred for precision contouring and treating slightly larger or denser pockets of fat. Patients also appreciate that PCDC may offer subtle skin-tightening benefits, making it ideal for areas where mild skin laxity accompanies excess fullness.

Kybella®

Kybella® uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid to break down fat beneath the skin. It is FDA-approved and especially effective for submental fullness (a double chin).

Common Treatment Areas

While the chin and jawline are the most popular, fat-dissolving injections can also improve small, localized pockets of resistant fat in areas such as::

  • Under the chin (submental area)
  • Lower facial fullness
  • Upper back or bra-line fat
  • Axillary (armpit) bulges
  • Upper arms (posterior arm fullness)
  • Abdomen or flank areas (love handles)
  • Inner thighs
  • Areas below the buttocks ("banana roll" region)
  • Small pockets near the knees
  • Select localized areas of body contouring

FAQs

  • Who is a good candidate for fat-dissolving injections?

    Ideal candidates are healthy adults who maintain an active lifestyle yet struggle with small, well-defined areas of stubborn fat. These treatments are not recommended for individuals who have had certain types of neck or chin surgery.

  • How long do results last?

    Results are typically permanent. Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not return—but your long-term lifestyle and weight fluctuations can affect surrounding tissues.

  • Is there downtime?

    Swelling is common after fat-dissolving injections, especially in the under-chin area, as the body begins breaking down treated fat cells. Mild tenderness, firmness, or bruising may also occur, but these effects are temporary and typically improve within several days.


    Most patients return to normal activities shortly after treatment. Swelling varies by treatment area and individual response, so we recommend allowing some schedule flexibility, particularly when treating the chin or jawline.

  • When will I see improvement?

    Visible changes often appear around 4–6 weeks post-treatment, with continued refinement over several months as the body metabolizes the treated fat.

  • Is PCDC different from Kybella®?

    Yes. Both treatments dissolve fat, but PCDC is more concentrated and allows for greater customization in certain areas. Your provider will determine the safest and most effective option based on anatomy and treatment goals.
