How much does Kybella cost per treatment and how many treatments? (photos)

I do all three... but good to know all your options:There are multiple factors that go into answering this question...If there is a lot of fat, liposuction is your best bet. This can be done in-office under local anesthesia.If surgery is not something you are comfortable with, Coolsculpting would be your best bet financially... as long as the Coolsculpting applicator fits and you are okay with more time to see full results (than liposuction). If your jaw is too small or the amount of fat too little, the CoolMini may not fit.Lastly, if you have a small amount of fat and the CoolMini applicator doesn't fit your face, I would go with Kybella. There is a significant recovery period with Kybella and the product is not cheap. That is why I reserve it for people with a small amount of submental fat.My best,Dr. Nazarian@drsheilanazarian on Instagram

Kybella costs will vary widely depending on the market and the injector. Costs generally range somewhere from $1300-$1600 per treatment. Some injectors will price Kybella per vial, while others will price per treatment. I generally price it per treatment in order to keep costs stable for each treatment and patient. Most patients are going to need between 2-4 treatments.The swelling will start to improve within 2-3 days, but can take several weeks to fully resolve. As the swelling resolves, the improvements from the Kybella treatment will become visible. In general, the more treatments that are performed, the better the results will be.Be sure to see an expert physician injector who specializes in facial aesthetic procedures.All the best,

Hello, With the feedback from the panel members, one can quickly see that Kybella is not cheap, and it's not necessarily less expensive than a minimally invasive surgical option.  We do not use Kybella for more than a few reasons being that we do not believe that the benefits (outcomes) outweigh the financial investment, social downtime with each treatment, and potential risks when comparing all factors with a more traditional approach.  However, if one is opposed to a surgical option, and prefers the concept of Kybella, we recommend a clear treatment plan that outlines expected expectations for outcomes and duration, cost, options.

Most people need a series of treatments with Kybella. Cost will vary. Keep in mind, a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement with non-invasive options like Kybella. I recommend Kybella with thermage, ultherapy, exilis. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is an alternative for contouring the chin, if you're a candidate. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question and your photos. It is difficult to say with certainty how many treatments you would need without seeing you in person for a private consultation. In general, the cost of Kybella depends largely on the amount of fat the patient has, the number of treatments needed and the amount of product being used. Some people attain their desired results within 2 - 3 treatments while others may require 4 - 6 treatments. Everyone is different and has a different amount of fat so this will inevitably vary from one individual to the next. As a general guideline, single treatments tends to range anywhere from $700 - $1,500. Complete treatments can range from $1,500 - $5,000. Based on current research studies, a fair average number of treatment needed for most people is 3 - 3.5 treatments. I recommend meeting with an experienced physician for a private consultation to determine how many treatments you would will need personally and to give you a more comprehensive pricing breakdown.

Kybella costs vary but averages around $600 per vial (each vial has 2 cc).  Unfortunately it is a very expensive product for physicians to purchase, which keeps the costs high.  The average patient will need 2 vials per treatment and will require 2-3 treatments.

Kybella pricing will vary at each practice. Some offices charge per vial while others charge per treatment. The average client needs 2-3 treatments at 8 weeks apart. I would consult with your Kybella provider for a better understanding of the dosage you are needing.

In our practice, Kybella is typically $1000 per treatment and patients need up to 4 treatments.  Most patients will see improvement with 1 treatment.  Make sure you see a facial expert for best results.  Best Dr. Anil Shah

No one knows. The studies were performed with 6 treatments. The best way to think of it isas if you are going up a flight of stairs. With each treatment, you will hopefully see some treatment. It is best to meet with a facial expert who can examine you and determine whether Kybella or facial liposuction or a facelift would be the best option for you.

We currently charge $600 per vial.
Often times a treatment involves one to two vials. Unfortunately your pictures
do not show your neck. Some people benefit from two or more treatments
depending on the volume of fat in their neck.

The cost per treatment is really going to vary, depending on how much submental fat needs to be treated.  This can be very frustrating for the patient, since pricing can seem uncertain.  In order to alleviate the uncertainty, we offer "treatment to completion."  This means that you can have a combination of kybella, coolsculpting, subcutaneous profound treatments for a set price.  The pricing is tiered, depending on whether the fullness is mild, moderate, or severe.  A consultation is the best way to get more accurate pricing for your particular situation.
