Key Features
- The Only KFDA-Approved Treatment, V-OLET is a premium injectable treatment that goes beyond simple contouring to address the root cause of submental fat.
- As of May 2022, it is the only injectable treatment in Korea officially approved for the improvement of submental fat (double chin).
- Proven Active Ingredient (DCA): Formulated with Deoxycholic Acid (DCA), a secondary bile acid found in the human body that naturally emulsifies and breaks down fat.
- Irreversible Fat Cell Destruction (Adipocytolysis): Unlike standard contouring shots that only temporarily shrink fat cells, V-OLET destroys the fat cell membranes, reducing the total number of fat cells permanently.
- Elasticity Boost (Neocollagenesis): By stimulating collagen synthesis, V-OLET helps firm and lift the skin in the treated area, preventing sagging after fat loss.
Recommended For
- Those concerned about a thick double chin or excess submental fat.
- Those with a sagging or blurred jawline due to loss of skin elasticity.
- Those who wish to achieve a sharper, more refined facial impression.
- Those who prefer a non-surgical alternative to liposuction or thread lifts.
Those who experienced limited satisfaction with the short term effects of standard contouring injections.
Procedure Steps
- Consultation & Design: We assess the amount of fat and muscle distribution to customize the injection points.
- Numbing: A topical anesthetic cream is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
- V-OLET Injection: The solution is precisely injected into the targeted fat layers using expert techniques.
- Post-Care: An ice pack is applied immediately to soothe the area and reduce initial swelling.
Treatment Effects
- Fundamental Fat Removal: Directly destroys fat cell membranes to significantly reduce the appearance of a double chin.
- Semi-Permanent Results: Once destroyed, fat cells do not regenerate, ensuring long-lasting results.
- Jawline Lifting: Promotes collagen production to tighten and smooth the skin under the chin.
[Key Difference] While regular contouring shots temporarily shrink the size of fat cells (leading to potential relapse), V-OLET provides irreversible results by completely destroying the fat cell membranes.
Precautions & Aftercare
1. To ensure safety and the best results, please follow these guidelines:
2. Swelling & Pain: Swelling is most significant 2–3 days post-treatment. Some pain, bruising, or firmness may last for 1–2 weeks; this is a natural sign that the fat cells are being destroyed.
3. Pain Management: If you need painkillers, avoid anti-inflammatory drugs for 5 days; only Acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) is recommended.
4. Lifestyle Restrictions: Avoid alcohol, saunas, swimming pools, strenuous exercise, and facial massages for at least one week.
5. Skin Care: If the area becomes red, ensure you apply moisturizer and sunscreen diligently to protect the skin.
6. Result Timeline: As the body naturally processes and expels the destroyed fat cells, visible improvements typically appear starting one month after the treatment.
