Overview
The complicated names of Phosphatidylcholine Deoxycholate, are related to a new and controversial cosmetic procedure called Lipodissolve. The name Lipodissolve is trademarked by the ASAL, which is the American Society of Nonsurgical Aesthetics. The word cosmetic is absolutely important here and people with overweight issues need to consider it. We will return to this later on the article. But first we are going to the description of the components and the procedure.
Everything begins with the fact that almost 90% of women are affected by cellulite, so if it is considered the number of women in the world, the market size for cellulite treatment can also be calculated, and also the ever increasing companies claiming to have the definitive cure for cellulite. So, with this stated, our first recommendation for a person thinking in applying a moderately risky procedure to his or her body, is to do all possible research and contact every trusted physician in order to gather useful information before taking the final decision.

The components
Phosphatidylcholine Deoxycholate injections are part of the new branch of cosmetic surgery called mesotherapy, which is a minimally invasive procedure to target problem areas with microinjections of different kind of drugs. These medicines are delivered directly into the mesoderm (and that is the reason for the name) to treat the condition.
Phosphatidylcholine occurs naturally in the body as a component of cell membranes. Also it is sold as a component called lechitin, which is obtained mainly from soy and fish.
Deoxycholate is a solvent secreted by the liver to dissolve fat that enters the small intestine.
What the Food and Drugs Administration has to say?
It is important to notice that these components of the Lipodissolve treatment, the Phosphatidylcholine Deoxycholate, have not been approved or intensely tested by the Food and Drugs Administration for any sort of fat reduction. In other words this is an off-label or unregulated use of Phosphatidylcholine Deoxycholate. It is also important to say that unregulated use of medicines is very common. For instance, use of Botox to remove wrinkles is unregulated by the FDA. However, the use of Botox is approved to relieve muscle spasms due to neurological problems. Unregulated use of a drug is legal unless specifically banned by the FDA.
The procedure
Very small and sharp needles are used to inject Phosphatidylcholine Deoxycholate into the fat deposits. The treatment consists of multiple small injections that surround the fat deposits. It is the doctor who determines how many injections are needed. If needed, it is possible to repeat the procedure once every month for two or three months.
Side Effects
After the injections, patients can return to normal life almost immediately, but in the first days, it is possible to feel a heat sensation in the area where injections where placed. These areas may redden or even bruise. Fat deposits seem to enlarge the first days but eventually, fat will dissolve by normal means.
Lipodissolve and Liposuction are the same?
No. Lipodissolve is a completely different procedure from the even most controversial liposuction treatment. In Lipodissolve no anaesthetic is required, there is minimal breeding and bruising, recovery time is short, theres no need to stay at a hospital and costs are minimum. Liposuction requires general anaesthetic and maybe even extra anaesthesia after the procedure, there is very considerable bruising and sometimes bleeding, the recovery time is long and sometimes painful, patient needs to remain at the hospital the first days and it is much more expensive than treatment with injections of Phosphatidylcholine Deoxycholate.
Final Recommendations
Cosmetic treatments, no matter how cheap or safe they are, are just that, cosmetic, and there is no health improvement after they are applied. People remain exactly the same, maybe just looking better. Normally it is better and healthy to maintain an adequate style of life in order to control the kind of problems discussed in the article. It will do no good in using successfully Lipodissolve or any other treatment if the patient is going to let his or her body to accumulate fat deposits again and again. Despite this, Lipodissolve treatment with injections of Phosphatidylcholine Deoxycholate seem to be safe enough and we will probably hear more advancement of this technique in the years to come.
