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.

Planning it into a Seoul trip

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.
