Results after Nuviju Injection
Nuviju is the world's first fat-dissolving injection made with cholic acid (CA). It eliminates double-chin fat cells directly and was Korea's 40th approved new domestic drug — a rare designation in a country where original drug development is uncommon, and the first in aesthetic medicine. It's used to treat moderate-to-severe double chin in adults.

Nuviju works by reducing the number of fat cells rather than just their size — breaking down the cell membrane of fat cells to eliminate them. Because eliminated fat cells don't come back, results last longer than treatments that only temporarily shrink fat cells.
