How much does Kybella cost these days? Per treament? Total cost? I was quoted by a spa on January 2016 $1400 for the procedure.

Kybella is very expensive.  It makes sense that it would be roughly 1000-2000 per treatment.  This should have bene made very clear.  I suggest you continue treatemnts or consider liposuction which often is cheaper than the full effect of kybella long term.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for
your question kybella1234. I understand your concern. Kybella is the first and
thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for the double
chin. Pricing varies from office to office but the price you paid is average for one treatment with two vials. Most people require 2-4 treatment sessions, sometimes up to 6 treatments. I treat my patients every 3 months. Results are seen slowly over time. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

It depends on how the spa priced their Kybella treatment -- by the session or by the number of vials used. Your best bet would be to ask them for a breakdown. It does typically take 2-4 sessions to see your final results so this doesn't seem out of the norm.Kindly,Kouros Azar

The quote for $1400 per treatment seems about average.  Generally speaking, each treatment of Kybella will require 2 vials of the medication, and most physicians charge between $600 and $800 per vial.  Price will vary based on region and practice type.  Keep in mind, many patients will require 2 or 3 treatments in total.

Kybella treatments for under the chin fat typically requires 2-4 vials, and 2-4 treatments, sometimes more.   Pricing tends to be based on vials, which you can also think of as severity of the fat, or the surface area that needs to be addressed.  A mild case is typically going to be about $1,200, a moderate case $1,500 and a severe case $1,800 or more.  (For a severe case I would steer the patient away from Kybella and towards liposuction.)  Mild cases tend to need fewer treatments than severe cases.  It sounds like you only paid for one treatment.  It would have been helpful to have something in writing.  I don't personally trust the personnel in spas to give accurate information.  They typically have very little medical training.  I have also heard that many med-spas use hard-sell tactics.I would encourage you to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist in your area.  It is your neck and face after all, shouldn't you be going to the experts?

Kybella is a very expensive procedure and it can take two to four (or sometimes more) treatments to treat this area.  Each session will cost approximately $1500 per session.  Only physicians are allowed to administer this product.  I suggest you return to the spa and discuss the issue.  It is always best to consult a board certified physician for cosmetic injections.  Cool-mini is another great option for this procedure.  Best, Dr. Green

The price you were given should have been per treatment or for a package.  The Non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments are similar in price.  It will usually take 2 treatments on average with Kybella.  CoolSculpting can be used to treat this area in a completely noninvasive was as well with the CoolMini device.  Another more invasive option is liposuction of the area.

Hello Kybella1234,Each Kybella treatment has a cost associated with it.  It can be priced per vial (what most do) or per treatment area.  Most people will be treated with 2-3 vials at a cost of around $1,200 to $2,000 per treatment.  It takes at least 2 treatments and in some cases 4 to get a result.  This should have been made clear prior to you starting the process, because 1 treatment alone won't accomplish much.  If you want to see a result, you will need to continue treatment (or simply lose the initial investment).  You can also consider liposuction but this without a skin tightening procedure in someone over age 35 may not provide a nice result (younger skin tends to contract so liposuction alone in younger patients is a good option).
