All About the V-Liolet Injection
for Destroying Double-Chin Fat
There are many ways to improve a bulky double chin that makes you look older and create a slimmer face shape. Among them is a procedure called the 'V-Liolet injection.' Have you heard of it? It is not liposuction, but an injectable procedure that non-surgically destroys and removes fat, and it has recently been drawing a lot of attention. Today, we’ll look at the V-Liolet injection for destroying a double chin, along with what to consider before the procedure and the precautions to keep in mind. Let’s get started~!

What Is the V-Liolet Injection for Destroying a Double Chin?
The V-Liolet injection is a procedure mainly used to improve submental fat, and its main ingredient is deoxycholic acid (DCA). That name may sound unfamiliar, right? Deoxycholic acid is a substance that naturally exists in the human body. It is a type of bile acid naturally produced in the body, and it helps reduce fat by destroying fat cells. The V-Liolet injection directly injects this deoxycholic acid into the submental fat to destroy the fat cell membrane.

Unlike conventional contour injections, which only reduce the size of fat cells, the V-Liolet injection destroys the fat cells themselves, so its biggest advantage is that you can expect semi-permanent results. It also induces collagen synthesis between the destroyed fat cells, helping maintain and improve skin elasticity.
The V-Liolet injection made by Daewoong Pharmaceutical
was officially approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in March 2022
for improving submental fat,
and its safety and effectiveness were demonstrated
through clinical trials conducted on Koreans.
It is currently one of the two products
officially approved domestically as a fat-dissolving injection.

Effects of the V-Liolet Injection
- Reduction of double-chin fat
: The main effect of the V-Liolet injection is reducing submental fat to create a slimmer jawline. Because it destroys the fat cells themselves, the effects last longer than those of a typical contour injection.
- Improvement in skin elasticity
: It also helps maintain and improve skin elasticity by inducing collagen synthesis. Therefore, you can expect firmer skin along with reduced submental fat.
- Improved jawline
: By reducing submental fat and improving skin elasticity, it makes the boundary between the chin and neck that had been blurred appear more defined.
- V-line effect
: Through improvement of a double chin and the jawline, you can expect an overall facial shape that appears more V-line.

Injections with a Similar Mechanism to the V-Liolet Injection
Procedures with effects similar to the V-Liolet injection include contour injections, Chanel injections, Rejuran Healer, and exosomes. Fat-dissolving injections, or contour injections, are less expensive and can be considered the procedure most similar to the V-Liolet injection. Although they do not destroy fat, they promote fat breakdown and can help reduce submental fat.
Chanel injections are also effective for skin regeneration and improving elasticity. Rejuran Healer is a procedure that promotes skin regeneration, and along with improved elasticity, it can help with brighter skin tone and pore reduction. Exosomes are substances that promote cell regeneration and are effective for preventing skin aging, skin regeneration, and scar treatment.

Now, both the V-Liolet injection and contour injections are effective for reducing submental fat, but there are a few important differences. First, as mentioned, the ingredient in the V-Liolet injection is deoxycholic acid (DCA). The main ingredients of contour injections are a cocktail of various ingredients (PPC, steroids, etc.), and because they are off-label, the mixture differs slightly from clinic to clinic. From a patient's perspective, you can’t really know whether they will definitely work until you try them. Of course, one big advantage is that they are cheaper.

If the V-Liolet injection works by destroying the fat cell membrane, contour injections only reduce the size of fat cells, so the duration of the effect also differs: the V-Liolet injection is semi-permanent, while contour injections are temporary. Maintenance periods can vary depending on an individual's lifestyle and body type. With consistent care after the procedure, the results can be maintained longer.
The number of sessions is also lower for V-Liolet, usually about 1 to 3 sessions. Contour injections typically require 5 or more sessions. Of course, because the fat is reduced gradually, people differ in how much facial fat they have, so some people may see results with fewer sessions.
The V-Liolet injection is
(recommended depending on individual fat volume and
treatment area)
usually performed 2 to 3 times at 4-week intervals.
If there is little fat, even one session may
produce some effect,
but if the double chin is large and there is a lot of
submental fat,
about 3 sessions are needed
to see satisfactory results.

The V-Liolet injection is definitely more expensive than contour injections, but it has the advantage of longer-lasting results and fewer treatment sessions. Also, because it destroys the fat cells themselves, you can expect a more dramatic effect. However, contour injections have their own advantages: they are cheaper and cause less swelling or bruising after the procedure.
Pain, Swelling, and Bruising During the Procedure
After the V-Liolet injection, pain, swelling, and bruising may occur.
-
The pain is said to be tolerable, but it varies from person to person. That is why a numbing cream is applied before the procedure to significantly reduce pain, so there is no need to worry.
-
Swelling is a natural phenomenon that occurs during the process in which deoxycholic acid destroys fat cells, and it may last about 1 to 2 weeks, so be sure to consider downtime.
-
Bruising may occur due to vascular irritation during the procedure, and the degree varies by person. Cold compresses after the procedure can help relieve swelling and bruising.

Precautions After the V-Liolet Injection
- For about one week after the procedure, avoid exposure to high-temperature environments such as saunas, heated rooms, and hot baths.
Avoid excessively rubbing or touching the treated area.
-
Drinking alcohol and smoking after the procedure may cause inflammation, so it is best to refrain from them.
-
Swelling and bruising may occur after the procedure, and these are natural phenomena. Cold compresses can help relieve swelling and bruising.
-
Be careful to prevent infection at the treatment site.
-
You can return to daily life right away after the procedure, but it is best to avoid strenuous exercise.

Bellevue Tip~!
The V-Liolet injection can be combined with procedures such as Chanel injections, Rejuran Healer, exosomes, Ulthera, or Thermage to achieve both reduction in double-chin fat and improved skin elasticity at the same time.
Bellevue Clinic
The V-Liolet injection is a procedure that can effectively remove double-chin fat and create a slimmer face shape. However, before the procedure, it is important to consult thoroughly with a doctor and establish a treatment plan that fits your skin condition. Since the results can vary greatly depending on the skill of the practitioner, it is important to receive treatment from medical staff with extensive experience and expertise. Consultation about procedures is always welcome.
