People worldwide are bombarded with images of gorgeous movie stars who are skinny – completely sans cellulite. There are many methods to shed fat. While dieticians generally say that diet and exercise are the best ways to reduce fat a lot of people turn to cosmetic surgery as a magic solution.

People who read health magazines have seen advertisements promoting easy cellulite busting treatments such as phosphatidylcholine and sodium deoxycholate injections, where drugs are used to ‘melt’ fat cells. Do these shots and drugs work?

Here are some guidelines. The treatment known as cellulite melting lipo dissolve (many names actually) is fairly non-invasive. Compare it to liposuction, which uses a tub to literally suck out several liters of fat. These injections really only remove small amounts of fat. The most common lipodissolve drug is a combination of phosphatidylcholine and sodium deoxycholate, which you can learn more about on the Internet.

Please take note – the FDA or Food and Drug Administration has not approved these drugs. The reason the drugs haven’t been approved is because few good studies have been done to prove safety and efficacy. In some countries physicians are not allowed to administer the most commonly injected drugs.

Do your homework before signing up for PCDC injections so you know what to expect.

Why not stick to diet and exercise?
