Thank you for choosing The Palm Medspa + Wellness for your treatment. To help you achieve the best results and minimize risks, we’ve outlined important pre-care and post-care instructions for PCDC, also known as liquid lipo.
Every treatment is unique, and your provider may give you additional personalized recommendations. Please review the guidelines carefully before and after your appointment. Following these instructions will:
Enhance the effectiveness of your treatment
Support your body’s natural healing process
Reduce the likelihood of complications or side effects
If you have any questions before or after your treatment, or if you experience anything unexpected, please don’t hesitate to contact our office. Your safety, comfort, and results are our top priorities.
Before your Liquid Lipo (PCDC lipolysis) treatment, let us know if you’ve had recent surgery in the area, are currently taking antibiotics, have had dental work done, or notice any breaks in the skin. If you experience trouble breathing or are unable to swallow after treatment, call immediately—your safety is our priority.
Proper preparation before your PCDC (Liquid Lipo) appointment helps ensure a safe experience, reduces risk of bruising and swelling, and enhances your contouring results—please follow these guidelines carefully.
2 weeks prior to your appointment
Avoid blood thinners (like aspirin, fish oil, vitamin E) for at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment.
Stay hydrated with ample water intake and let your provider know about any recent surgeries, dental work, skin breaks, or antibiotics.
3 days prior to your appointment
Stop taking ibuprofen, Motrin, or Advil 3 days before your session.
24 hours prior to your appointment
Avoid alcohol and smoking for 24 hours before your appointment to minimize bruising and facilitate healing.
Day of your appointment
Arrive with clean skin, no lotions, oils, or makeup applied to the treatment area, and eat a light meal before your appointment.
Take an antihistamine such as Claritin, Zyrtec, or Tylenol before your appointment to reduce swelling and discomfort.
After your treatment, attentive post-care supports smoother recovery, reduces discomfort, and helps optimize the fat-dissolving effect—please pay close attention to these instructions for your best results.

For 48 hours after your appointment
Sleep with your head elevated for the next 2 nights to help with swelling.
Refrain from exercise or strenuous activity for at least 48 hours, including hot tubs and saunas.
For up to 2 weeks after your appointment
