What Happens if L'carnitine is Injected into Fatty Deposits?

Does l'carnitine dissolve fatty deposits like lipodissolve? I'm very worried about this! If l'carnitine is injected can it migrate (like 10 cm) and dissolve fat in an area that was not meant to be treated or does it (if at all) only kill fat cells where it is directly injected? I am so concerned about this. I hope it doesn't have an effect at all!! Please help. I need advice from a doctor. Thank you very much! And another question: Does every non-synthetic substance in the body get destroyed?
