Soft fullness along the jaw or lower cheeks often comes from small fat deposits that can be stubborn even with a healthy lifestyle. The Val:U V-line Injection, available in Myeongdong, is the clinic's own steroid-free fat-reducing injection for these areas. It is designed for gradual refinement rather than dramatic change, and it is often paired with jaw Botox or lifting for a more complete V-line plan. Val:U is a short walk from both Myeongdong and Euljiro 1-ga stations.
What is the Val:U V-line Injection?
This is a localized lipolysis injection, meaning it is designed to help break down fat in the specific spot where it is placed. The formulation is steroid-free, which the clinic highlights because some older contouring cocktails used steroids that can carry their own risks, such as skin thinning or dents.
The injection is aimed at subcutaneous fat, the soft layer you can pinch. It does not act on muscle or bone, so it is most useful when fat is the main reason the face looks round.
Think of it as a refining tool. It can help sharpen the transition between cheek and jaw or reduce a soft pad of fat near the chin, and it tends to be most effective as part of a broader plan tailored by the doctor. The number of sessions and spacing are personalized, and progress is reviewed as you go.
Is it right for my face shape?
It tends to suit people with small, soft fat deposits, for example a slight fullness along the jawline, a round lower cheek or a little padding near the chin. The doctor assesses whether the fullness is fat, muscle, gland or skin laxity.
It is not intended for weight loss or large areas. If your jaw is wide mainly from the masseter muscle, jaw Botox may help more; if skin is sagging, lifting devices can be added.
- Soft, pinchable fat on the lower face
- Mild double-chin fullness
- Those wanting gradual, low-downtime contouring
- Can be paired with jaw Botox or HIFU lifting
Val:U V-line Injection price in Myeongdong
Pricing starts from KRW 30,000 excluding 10% VAT. The final amount depends on the number of areas, the volume injected and whether you choose a single session or a course. Since results usually build over several visits, ask the team to outline the full plan and total. The Body Contouring package may also be worth asking about.
How a session works
The target area is marked while you sit upright, since fat can shift when lying down. After cleansing, the doctor makes small injections into the fat layer using a fine needle. Most people describe a stinging or warm sensation that fades quickly. The whole appointment is usually short.
Sessions are typically spaced one to a few weeks apart, and the doctor reviews progress at each visit.
Side effects and aftercare
Mild swelling, redness, tenderness and small bruises are common and usually settle within a day to a few days. Some people feel a lumpy or firm area temporarily. Less commonly, uneven reduction can occur, which is one reason sessions are staged and reviewed. Allergic reactions are rare but possible.
Avoid alcohol, saunas and strenuous exercise on the day of treatment. Gentle cooling can ease swelling. Keeping a stable weight helps maintain the result, since remaining fat cells can still enlarge.
If swelling or a lump lasts longer than expected, or the area becomes hot and increasingly painful, contact the clinic promptly so it can be checked.
Getting to Val:U between appointments
Because the V-line Injection is often done as a series, convenience matters. Val:U sits on the fourth floor of 32 Myeongdong-gil, roughly 340 m from Myeongdong Station Exit 6 (Line 4) and around 350 m from Euljiro 1-ga Station Exits 5 and 6 (Line 2). With evening hours until 20:30 on weekdays and weekend hours from 10:00 to 17:00, repeat visits are easier to schedule.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a V-line injection in Myeongdong?
The Val:U V-line Injection starts from KRW 30,000 excluding 10% VAT. The price per visit depends on the areas and volume treated. Because a course of several sessions is often recommended, ask for an estimate of the full plan during your consultation.
What does steroid-free mean for a fat-dissolving injection?
It means the formula does not contain corticosteroids. Some older contouring injections included steroids, which can occasionally cause side effects such as skin thinning or depressions. A steroid-free formula avoids that particular concern, though any injection still carries general risks like swelling or bruising.
How many V-line injection sessions will I need?
Many people have several sessions spaced one to a few weeks apart, but it depends on the amount of fat and how you respond. The doctor reviews your progress each time. If you are only in Seoul briefly, ask what a realistic plan looks like for your stay.
Can I get a V-line injection with jaw Botox?
Yes, this combination is common because a wide lower face often involves both muscle and fat. Jaw Botox slims the masseter muscle, while the V-line Injection targets fat. The doctor will advise whether to do them on the same day or stagger them.
Will my face be swollen after the injection?
Mild swelling is common and usually subsides within one to a few days. It tends to be less noticeable than with stronger under-chin fat injections. Cooling the area and avoiding alcohol and heat on the first day can help it settle faster.
