Before you decide

Is it right for you?

We tell you frankly when this treatment is a good option and when we'd rather assess you first.

Ideal if…

  • You have small, well-defined pockets of fat
  • Your weight is stable and you're close to your goal
  • You want to treat a specific area without surgery
  • You can keep up with the massages and drainage sessions included in the package

We assess you first if…

  • Your goal is overall weight loss
  • You're pregnant or breastfeeding
  • There's an active infection in the area or you're allergic to the ingredients
  • You have uncontrolled liver or kidney disease

How we do it at Quantum

A medical protocol, not a catalog

Every plan starts with a consultation: we listen to what you want to achieve, review your medical history and decide whether this treatment is right for you.

  1. 01

    Medical consultation

    Before any treatment is applied, we review your case and explain what is possible and what isn't.

  2. 02

    D10 Facial Scanner

    Everything starts with a consultation, not a catalog: we analyze your skin and scalp before recommending any treatment.

  3. 03

    Follow-up visit

    We review the result with you and adjust the plan if needed.

What it is and how it works

Targeted fat reduction with phosphatidylcholine

Phosphatidylcholine is injected with fine needles into the fatty tissue of specific areas. It causes expected inflammation in the area, which is part of how it works, so it's normal for the area to feel swollen and tender for a few days. To support the process, the package adds drainage, massage and device-based treatments based on what each patient needs.

It's indicated for small pockets of fat when your weight is stable and close to your goal, and you can attend the complementary sessions. It doesn't work for overall weight loss. It's ruled out during pregnancy and breastfeeding, with a local infection, allergy to its ingredients, or uncontrolled liver or kidney disease. Results vary from person to person.

Each session lasts 20 to 40 minutes, and swelling usually lasts 2 to 5 days. The package includes 2 sessions of 6 vials, 2 drainage sessions, 4 massages and device-based treatments, starting at $1.400.000. Results show gradually, over weeks.

Frequently asked questions

We answer your questions

Have another question? Message us on WhatsApp and our medical team will answer.

How much does it cost?

It costs from $1.400.000 for the package, which includes 2 sessions (each with 6 vials), 4 massages, 2 drainage sessions and device-based treatments.

Does it hurt?

First you feel the needle pricks, then burning or warmth in the area for a while. Most people tolerate it well, and tenderness may last a few days.

What happens after each session?

For 2 to 5 days it's normal for the area to be swollen, red and tender, or bruised. This is part of the tissue's expected response.

How soon will I see results?

The change comes gradually and shows in the weeks after your sessions, as the swelling goes down. Everyone responds differently.

Will it help me lose weight?

No. It's designed for localized fat deposits. If you want to lose weight, we'll guide you to a weight-reduction program.

Can I combine it with cryolipolysis?

They can be combined on different areas or at different times, depending on what we decide in your consultation.

Who shouldn't have it?

We don't perform it during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if you have uncontrolled liver or kidney disease. Nor if you're allergic to its ingredients or the area is infected.
