Restore Soft Tissue Naturally

Introduction to alloClae™ Treatment

Subtle volume loss and contour irregularities can affect the body’s natural balance, even in patients who maintain a healthy lifestyle. While traditional fat grafting remains an excellent option for many individuals, not everyone is interested in surgery or has sufficient donor fat available.​

AlloClae™ is a new treatment that restores soft tissue volume with a minimally invasive method. It helps improve body shape without the need for liposuction or implants. At Ikon Plastic Surgery in Chevy Chase, MD, Dr. James Economides uses alloClae™ in custom treatment plans for patients in the Washington, D.C., area who want natural-looking results.

What is alloClae™ Treatment?

AlloClae™ treatment is a next-generation structural adipose matrix designed to restore volume and improve body contours without surgery. Made from carefully processed donor-derived adipose tissue, alloClae™ retains the natural architecture of fat tissue while removing living cells, creating a ready-to-use treatment that integrates with the body’s existing tissues. It is commonly used to address volume deficiencies, contour irregularities, hip dips, and other areas where fat naturally exists.

Since liposuction is not required, alloClae™ provides an excellent alternative for patients who have limited donor fat or prefer a less invasive option.

Who Are the Best Candidates for alloClae™ Treatment?

Meeting with Dr. Economides at our Washington, D.C., area office is the best way to find out whether alloClae™ fits your needs. The treatment is a good choice for people who:

  • Desire subtle enhancement of body contours without surgery.
  • Have volume loss or contour irregularities in areas where fat naturally exists.
  • Do not have sufficient donor fat for traditional fat grafting.
  • Want minimal downtime and a quicker recovery.

What Are the Benefits of alloClae™ Treatment?

AlloClae™ treatment offers gentle, natural-looking body improvements without the long recovery time of surgical fat transfer. Some benefits include:

  • Restores volume without liposuction or implants.
  • Creates smoother, more balanced body contours.
  • Provides immediate volume enhancement with little downtime.
  • Offers a minimally invasive, in-office alternative to fat grafting.
  • Delivers natural-looking results that complement your existing anatomy.

What to Expect on the Day of alloClae™ Treatment

Your alloClae™ treatment takes place in the office and will take less than an hour.

First, the area will be cleaned, and a local anesthetic will be given to keep you comfortable. Dr. Economides will then use a special injection technique to place the alloClae™™ and restore volume.

Since there is no need for liposuction or general anesthesia, most people go home soon after.

Combining My alloClae™ with Other Treatments

AlloClae™ can be added to a full-body contouring plan to improve your natural shape and overall balance further.

AlloClae™ adds volume, while liposuction removes unwanted fat. Doing both together can improve your body shape and overall look.

alloClae™ Treatment Recovery

Immediately After Surgery

Following your alloClae™ treatment, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, tenderness, redness, or firmness in the treated area. These effects are expected and typically resolve over the first several days. Because the procedure is minimally invasive and performed without surgery, most patients return home immediately and resume light daily activities within one to two days.

The First Few Weeks

As the treatment area settles, the initial swelling gradually subsides, and the restored contours become more refined. During this time, follow Dr. Economides’ aftercare instructions carefully and avoid strenuous activity, as advised, to promote optimal healing.

Weeks 4-8

As your body continues integrating the structural adipose matrix, the treated area develops a smoother, more natural appearance. Improvements in contour and volume become increasingly apparent as healing progresses.

Long-Term Results

AlloClae™ is designed to provide lasting soft-tissue volume restoration without liposuction or implants. Depending on your treatment goals, Dr. Economides may recommend additional treatments or complementary body-contouring procedures to enhance further and maintain your results.

How Much Does alloClae™ Treatment Cost in Washington, D.C.?

The price of alloClae™ treatment in Chevy Chase, MD, and the Washington, D.C., area depends on the area being treated, how much product is needed, and whether you add other body contouring procedures.
