What is V-Olet (Fat-Dissolving)?
V-Olet (브이올렛, Daewoong Pharmaceutical) is a Korean-approved deoxycholic acid injection (the same active as Kybella) for moderate-to-severe submental (double chin) fat. It is the premium fat-dissolving option at Mio.
Who is it for?
People with a stubborn double chin or lower-face fat pads that do not respond to diet, who want a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
How does it work?
Deoxycholic acid breaks down fat-cell membranes; the destroyed fat is cleared by the lymphatic system over 2–4 weeks. Swelling for several days is normal and expected.

This treatment is tagged "last day" at Mio because there is visible redness, marks or swelling for a few days; schedule it on your final day so it fades at home. Numbing cream, when used, adds about 30 minutes; plan 15–20 minutes plus consultation. See the first-day / last-day guide.
