Conclusion: Off-label use of injectable DCA demonstrate a similar safety profile, effectiveness, and overall patient satisfaction compared to FDA-approved use for persistent SMF. DCA appears to be a safe and efficacious alternative to surgical reduction of unwanted adipose tissue in non-submental areas. Larger-scale studies are warranted to explore further cosmetic and potential medical applications. J Drugs Dermatol. 2019;18(7):675-680. PMID: 31334926 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
