V-Olet

V-OLET is a contouring injection that places deoxycholic acid — a bile acid the body already uses to break down fat — directly into stubborn pockets of localized fat. Rather than a massage that just drains puffiness, it works on the fat cells themselves. The visit is short (about 15 minutes), but the change appears gradually over days to weeks. Like dabbing a grease-cutting cleanser onto one specific spot — the body's own fat-dissolving bile acid is brought directly to stubborn, localized fat.

1. Consultation and assessment — fat distribution and the target area are reviewed using contour-diagnostic imaging where appropriate to confirm suitability, and the injection sites, dose, and number of sessions are planned based on that assessment. 2. Mapping and cleansing — the injection points are marked and the area is thoroughly disinfected. 3. Injection — small amounts of deoxycholic acid are injected into the subcutaneous fat at the marked points, spaced evenly across the area. 4. Aftercare — light compression and a cold compress are applied right away to manage swelling and discomfort. Total treatment time is around 15 minutes.

Deoxycholic acid acts on the membranes of fat cells so that, over time, fat cells in the treated area are reduced. The change is not immediate: the broken-down fat is gradually cleared through the body's normal metabolic processes. Swelling and tenderness shortly after the injection are part of this process. A schedule at four-week intervals over several sessions is generally used (the number is not fixed; the plan is set by the medical team based on the area and amount of fat), with changes appearing progressively across sessions. The fat cells that are broken down and reduced do not easily return, but if overall body weight rises significantly the remaining fat cells can enlarge, so keeping up everyday weight and lifestyle management helps the refined contour last longer. The degree and speed of any change vary by individual depending on the amount of fat, individual metabolism, and lifestyle, and results are not guaranteed.

Treatment is restricted if there is active infection in the treatment area or a history of allergy or hypersensitivity to deoxycholic acid or the components of the product. Please also inform the medical team before treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a bleeding disorder, or are taking anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, or other medication that can affect bleeding. If you have difficulty swallowing or have experienced it in the past, or have had surgery or another procedure in the submental area, please also be sure to inform us in advance. After treatment, reactions such as swelling, pain, bruising, firmness, numbness, warmth, or redness may occur, and in most cases these gradually settle over time. Depending on the individual, swelling, firmness, or reduced sensation may persist for a relatively long time. If there is pain or discomfort, light cold compresses may help, and acetaminophen-class analgesics may be taken if needed. Rarely, the marginal mandibular nerve may be affected, causing the mouth to look temporarily asymmetric when smiling or weakening movement of the surrounding muscles, and discomfort on swallowing may also occur. If such symptoms appear, or if pain, swelling, or skin changes worsen or persist, medical assessment is required. After treatment, do not rub or massage the treated area vigorously, and it is best to avoid activities that can increase swelling and discomfort, such as saunas, hot compresses, vigorous exercise, and alcohol. The medical team judges suitability and the treatment extent individually after assessing the distribution of submental fat and the skin condition.
