Is Body V-Olet different from the treatment used on the face?

The formula is the same; what changes is the area and the dose. On the body we work on small, localised pockets of fat such as the upper arms, the flanks and the area above the knees. That said, this product is approved by Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for the area under the chin, so whenever we use it on the body we tell you that first and agree with you on what can realistically be expected.

Does it work on stubborn areas such as above the knees or the upper arms?

Localised fat that barely responds to exercise is exactly what this treatment aims at. Even so, the degree of change is not large, several sessions are needed, and if the skin has lost its firmness the contour may not look tidier even once the fat has reduced. At the consultation we check whether skin laxity needs to be addressed alongside it.

Will the treated area become lumpy?

Concentrating the injections in one spot can leave the surface uneven, so we space the points out and distribute the product evenly. It is normal for the area to feel firm for a few weeks and then gradually soften. If the unevenness is visible to the eye it needs to be looked at, so please get in touch with us.

How soon after the treatment will my clothes feel more comfortable?

In the first days the swelling can make things feel tighter rather than looser, and it settles after a few days. A real change in circumference appears gradually over the course of several sessions. We recommend measuring the area before you start and then measuring at exactly the same point at each session, so that you have something to compare.

Does it put a strain on the liver or the kidneys?

The broken-down fat is processed and cleared by the body, so please tell us in advance if you have a liver or kidney condition. This is also why we manage the total volume given in a single session and the interval between sessions. We only draw up the plan after going through your diagnoses, your test results and the medication you are currently taking.

How do I choose a clinic for Body V-Olet in Gangnam, Seoul?

Look at the examination and the plan rather than the treatment name. First, what the clinic checks before deciding — at QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, the first thing we look at for this treatment is “How far localized body fat extends on the arms, the flanks or above the knees, and skin elasticity”. Second, whether it explains why it recommends that scope and method, compared with the alternatives. Third, whether it reviews your progress with you when results are expected. Our doctor goes through these three points at consultation before the treatment is decided.

Body V-Olet

qd body v-olet

V-Olet is a fat-dissolving injection based on deoxycholic acid (DCA), a bile acid the body also produces. On the body, it is used to soften small, localized pockets of fat — such as the arms, flanks or above the knees — to refine the line. At QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, we assess the area first, then plan the points and sessions. A session usually takes about 20–30 minutes with little downtime. (Results vary by individual.)

Who it’s for

Even if none of these describes you, we will look again at the consultation.

Small, localized fat on the upper arms
Fullness at the flanks or love handles
Fat above the knees or on the inner thighs
Anyone who prefers a non-surgical, injection-based option

V-Olet is a deoxycholic-acid injection whose Korean approval is for under-chin fat; use on small body areas is decided per person. It suits small localized pockets, not overall weight loss. Suitability is confirmed at consultation.

start with your concern

Before you pick a treatment name, start with the cause of your concern.

Even a treatment with the same name takes on a different role and scope depending on your current structure, the change you want, what you have had before and the recovery time you have.

Where you are now, and where we start
How far localized body fat extends on the arms, the flanks or above the knees, and skin elasticity
The change you want, the impression you keep
V-Olet is a deoxycholic-acid injection whose Korean approval is for under-chin fat; use on small body areas is decided per person. It suits small localized pockets, not overall weight loss. Suitability is confirmed at consultation.
How it differs from similar options
These options all reduce small pockets of body fat or shape the body, but they work in different ways, so the right one depends on the area and whether firmness is also a goal.
Health information and recovery schedule
Little to no downtime; most people return to daily activities the same day. Temporary swelling, tenderness, warmth, redness, firmness or mild bruising may occur for several days, and the area can feel swollen or lumpy at first. Pause strenuous exercise of the area for a short period and follow the aftercare guidance we provide.

the principle

How it works

We check the ingredients and their approved use, the target fat layer and the structures around it, and explain the limits of what injections alone can change.

Deoxycholic acid works at the membrane of fat cells in the injected area, so the fat is broken down and then cleared gradually through the body’s natural metabolic and lymphatic processes over the following weeks. Because it acts locally on small pockets, several points and sessions are usually planned for a body area. V-Olet is a deoxycholic-acid injection approved in Korea for under-chin fat; its use on small body areas is decided per person. The points and dose are mapped to your area at consultation.

Product, device or treatment-area reference for Body V-Olet

How it works

A deoxycholic-acid solution
V-Olet places a solution based on deoxycholic acid (DCA) — a bile acid the body also produces — into small pockets of body fat such as the arms, flanks or above the knees.
Acting at the fat-cell membrane
DCA works at the membrane of fat cells in the treated area so the fat is broken down locally, which is why precise placement matters.
Cleared by the body
The released fat is removed through the body’s natural metabolic and lymphatic processes over the following weeks, so the line refines gradually rather than at once.
Mapped across the area
Because body areas are larger than the chin, the injection is mapped across several points and usually planned over a few sessions.

the qd standard

The same treatment, never the same plan.

Rather than a fashionable name or a fixed package, we weigh the structure found at examination, safety, recovery and the limits within one plan.

DIAGNOSIS FIRST
Cause before name
We first separate out the tissue and the function behind your concern.
LESS, PRECISE
Only as much as needed
Rather than an excessive change, we plan the smallest scope with a clear role.
HONEST LIMIT
The limits, explained too
We explain the change you can expect, the alternatives, individual differences and the risks.

personal plan

From consultation to follow-up, planned as one flow.

Ingredients and authenticity
Consultation and assessment of the area
Anatomy and expression
Cleansing and marking of injection points
Small amounts, one stage at a time
A course of about 2–4 sessions spaced roughly 3–4 weeks apart is common, with the line refining gradually as the treated fat clears; larger areas may need more. Your plan is decided at consultation, and a stable weight helps maintain the result. (Results vary by individual.)

What the procedure is like

Consultation and assessment of the area
Cleansing and marking of injection points
Injections of the deoxycholic-acid solution across the points
Brief pressure, cooling and aftercare guidance

Time: A session takes about 20–30 minutes, depending on the area.

Plan it with our doctors

Please read this before treatment

Little to no downtime; most people return to daily activities the same day.
Temporary swelling, tenderness, warmth, redness, firmness or mild bruising may occur for several days, and the area can feel swollen or lumpy at first.

Safety & considerations

Possible reactions

Temporary swelling in the treated area, which can be noticeable in the first days
Tenderness, warmth, firmness or redness in the area
Mild bruising at injection points
A firm feeling or small lumps that usually settle over time
Rarely, temporary numbness in the area that typically recovers

When to take extra care

Pregnancy or breastfeeding — let us know at consultation
Active infection, inflammation or skin problems in the treatment area
A bleeding tendency or use of blood-thinning medication — tell your doctor

A history of keloid or difficulty with wound healing

V-Olet is a deoxycholic-acid injection whose Korean approval is for under-chin fat; use on small body areas is decided per person, and it suits small localized pockets rather than overall weight loss. Whether it suits you is confirmed during consultation. Effects and downtime vary by individual, and side effects may occur.

what to expect

What to expect over time

A general guide to how the days and months after treatment usually unfold. Results vary by individual.

DAY 0
Treatment day
A stinging or burning feeling during injection, then warmth and swelling; the area can feel swollen or lumpy at first. Most people return to daily activities the same day.
DAY 1-7
Swelling settles
Swelling, firmness or tenderness in the area is often most noticeable early; mild bruising may occur and generally eases. Strenuous exercise of the area is paused for a short period.
WEEK 2-4
Fat clears
As the treated fat is gradually cleared, some notice a cleaner line. This varies from person to person.
EVERY 3-4 WEEKS
Next session
Sessions are usually spaced about 3–4 weeks apart to build the change gradually; larger areas may need more. (Results vary by individual.)
2-3 MONTHS
Review
After the course, your doctor reviews the line and any further plan. (Results vary by individual.)

Sessions & results

A course of about 2–4 sessions spaced roughly 3–4 weeks apart is common, with the line refining gradually as the treated fat clears; larger areas may need more. Your plan is decided at consultation, and a stable weight helps maintain the result. (Results vary by individual.)

how it compares

How it compares

These options all reduce small pockets of body fat or shape the body, but they work in different ways, so the right one depends on the area and whether firmness is also a goal.

Comparison
	V-Olet	QD S-Cut Injection	Body ONDA Lifting
Approach	Fat-dissolving injection (deoxycholic acid)	Fat-dissolving injection (clinic protocol)	Microwave (Coolwaves) with cooling
Targets	Small localized fat pockets	Small localized body fat	Localized fat and skin firmness
Often chosen for	Small pockets with a specific DCA product	Body fat mapped across several points	Fat with firmness and cellulite appearance
Sessions	Usually a short course	Usually a short course	A short course
Downtime	Little; temporary swelling	Little; temporary swelling	Little to none

Neither is “better” — they work differently and suit different goals. The right choice is decided after we assess your skin.
