Stubborn pockets of fat don’t always respond to diet and exercise. If you’re bothered by fullness beneath the chin or small areas of unwanted fat, Kybella® and PCDC Fat Dissolving Treatments may provide a non-surgical solution. At The District Injector in McLean, Virginia, we offer customized fat reduction treatments designed to permanently eliminate targeted fat cells and improve natural facial and body contours.
These injectable treatments can help refine your profile, enhance facial definition, and reduce localized fat without surgery or lengthy downtime. Every treatment plan is personalized based on your anatomy, aesthetic goals, and desired outcome.
What Are Kybella® & PCDC Fat Dissolving Treatments?
Kybella® is the first FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to permanently destroy fat cells beneath the chin, commonly referred to as a double chin. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, naturally occurs in the body and helps break down dietary fat.
PCDC Fat Dissolving Injections are commonly used to treat additional small areas of stubborn fat on the body. Once treated fat cells are eliminated, they are naturally processed and removed by the body over time.
These treatments offer an excellent alternative for patients who want noticeable contouring without liposuction or surgery.

During your consultation, we’ll evaluate the treatment area, discuss your goals, and determine whether injectable fat reduction is the right option for you.
What to Expect
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation and examination of the treatment area. Once a customized treatment plan has been developed, a series of small injections are carefully administered into the targeted fat deposits.
Treatment typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. Swelling is expected following treatment and is often most noticeable during the first several days. Mild tenderness, firmness, redness, or bruising may also occur as the body begins breaking down the treated fat cells.
Most patients require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal contouring. Improvements develop gradually as the body naturally eliminates the destroyed fat cells.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the fat cells permanently removed?
Yes. Once treated fat cells are destroyed and eliminated, they do not return. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your long-term results.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments varies depending on the amount of fat present and your aesthetic goals. Most patients benefit from a series of treatments.
Is there any downtime?
Most patients return to normal activities shortly after treatment, although swelling is common and expected during the healing process.
Can Kybella® be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Many patients combine injectable fat reduction with Botox®, dermal fillers, or skin tightening treatments to create more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Is this a weight loss treatment?
No. Kybella® and PCDC are designed to reduce small, localized fat deposits and are not intended for overall weight loss.
