Injection lipolysis is a controversial cosmetic procedure in which drug mixtures are injected into patients with the goal of destroying fat cells. This practice, using drugs generally based on phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate (PCDC), evolved from the initial intravenous use of those drug formulations to treat blood disorders.[1][2]
While no placebo-controlled studies have demonstrated the safety or efficacy of this therapy, numerous retrospective studies of Lipostabil injections have reported the efficacy of this practice.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The mixture is injected directly into the subcutaneous fat through multiple microinjections administered over multiple treatment sessions. The desired result is the removal of localized fat deposits.[2]
