When will Kybella's price drop?

This is interesting question since this is such a new product on the market. From an Econ 101 standpoint, currently supply is high and demand is low, so by that token it is as cheap as it will ever be. There are only a few of us who can even inject it in the country right now, and as that number grows, the price me too.Allergan, the makers of Botox, who recently just bought Kybella, started with one price for Botox initially, and as it became more popular later on actually increased the price. That was initially not well received, obviously, but the price reflected the ever increasing demand.It will be never be the same price as Botox. It is a different drug, indication, and dosage than Botox is. It may be priced in the same manner as Botox, that is by amount that you receive, which is determined by the surface area that you need treated.

Like anything else, the market will dictate what a product or service is worth to the consumer. These types of injectable products are very expensive to research and develop. As of now, there are no competitors to Kybella in the injectable market with FDA approval. There are definitely other surgical options out there that may be better options for some people and more economical as well, but Kybella is unique in that it offers a non-surgical treatment option to the double chin/submental fullness. 
I do not see Kybella reaching the same approximate cost of Botox any time soon. Also, this is really not a fair comparison as they do not compete with one another and are not dosed in the same way. 
All the best,

The prices will not drop because the company is only
allowing a limited number of doctors to perform these treatments. Therefore these
treatments are not as readily available. My thoughts are that the prices will
not change much in the near future.

Kybella is expensive.  Whether the price goes up or down depends on how the sales go, and how satisfied the patients are in the long term.  For the short term, I believe the price will be pretty stable. 

I don't anticipate that the price of Kybella will change dramatically anytime soon. From a financial perspective, it is ideal for patients who only have a mild-moderate amount of submental fat. Those patients with significant amount of submental fat would be better served with liposuction from a financial standpoint. I don't expect that Kybella will ever cost the same as Botox. Botox and other fillers have actually increased in price, as the demand continues to increase.

It is difficult to say what will happen with Kybella pricing.  Allergan is in the process of acquiring Kythera, the makers of Kybella.   I don't anticipate the pricing to change much with the acquisition, but it is hard to say.

Kybella was just released so it is difficult to tell when the prices will come down.  It is priced slightly higher than liposuction so if you don't want to wait, you may just want to get liposuction performed now.

The price of kybella isn't going to drop anytime soon, if anything it will rise.  There is a huge demand for it and very few physicians who can inject it AND teach on using it (I am one of those physicians here in LA).  The cost is depednet on a few things... research done on the product (which was millions of dollars and years of work) as well as experienced physicians performing the procedure as well as the product cost to make as it is a synthetic medication.  You cannot compare this to botox, they are not the same medication nor do they have a similar indication.  Do not compromise your care for cost or distance. Best, Dr. Emer.

I would not anticipate the price to drop any time soon. The company has a very strict training program in place which is great. However, this will mean that few injectors have access to the product in the coming months. That lack of injectors will mean that prices will not fall any time soon as demand for the product is very high. Short answer - Kybella prices will likely be stable for quite some time.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Asidefrom its effectiveness, Kybella is also popular even though the treatment canbe expensive. As for your question, I am uncertain if the price will actuallygo down considerably. It has been expensive for a few years now and based onthe trends, it will not seem to go down as much even in the next few months tocome.
Thatsaid, even if Kybella treatment is unquestionably pricey, you may still find itbeneficial since the results of this treatment are permanent. After 2 to 4treatments, your desired results will be achieved .  The advantage also  is you have avoided surgery.
Beaware, that you may encounter spas offering Kybella at a cheaper price.However, remember that does not mean complications are less in that type ofenviornment . Better go to certified surgeons to take advantage of theirexperience and skill with Kybella injections.
