Dr. Charles Mok describes offering early phosphatidylcholine deoxycholate injections to dissolve fat deposits from a family doctor's office, before other fat-reduction devices became available. He pioneered this novel cosmetic treatment when few options existed for targeting small pockets of fat.

We really just ran into two rooms at a local family doctor's office and started offering some really unique treatments. One of the big successes at first, because there was nothing available before it, was this medication that would actually destroy fat cells. It's called phosphatidylcholine deoxycholate. And we would inject it into small areas of fat. It would melt fat, and this did not exist. Now, there's a lot of options now for different devices and stuff to destroy fat, but there's nothing available. And that wanted to be something that people were very excited about.
