The dangers of fat-dissolving injections have been revealed

The injections contain phosphatidylcholine (PPC) and sodium deoxycholate (DC), which are used either separately or together. Currently, the FDA has only approved one injectable fat dissolving drug, a prescription drug called Kybella, which is deosycholic acid. It is naturally produced by intestinal bacteria and helps break down fat during digestion.

The safe and effective use of a fat-soluble agent requires calculating the correct number and location of injections, proper needle placement, and maintaining sterile conditions. These procedures should only be performed by health care professionals.
