Kybella: are vials and syringes the same thing?

They are not the same. Kybella comes in a 2ml vial; we inject Kybella with 1ml syringes. If you received 4 syringes, that probably means that you received 2 vials of Kybella for your first treatment. For Kybella treatment of submental fullness, the average number vials for the first treatment is 2-4 vials. Hope that is helpful.

Kybella comes in 2ml regiments per vial. Usually you get 2 syringes out of each vial. Speak with your injector for additional clarification.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

No, vials and syringes are not the same thing. Syringes come in different sizes. For example, common syringe sizes are 1cc, 3cc, and 5cc. Kybella comes in 2cc vials.  

Importantly, it is not how much Kybella you were provided but the technique and administration of the product by the practitioner. Thus, it is most important to get an evaluation and be treated by an expert who has experience. As an example, 3 vials injected by one provider may not give the great result as one vial injected by another

expert practitioner.  We combine Kybella with our CORE RF technology for ultimate results. 

Kybella comes in a vial that can ultimately fill 2 (1 ml) syringes. Keep in mind, Kybella results can take up to 6-8 weeks and usually require a series of treatments. Also, for best results with Kybella, I recommend a combination approach 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 an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It is more important to know how many vials were used, since Kybella comes in 2 cc vials. The product is then drawn into syringes for injection. Juvederm on the other hand comes in syringes so that is the term used for fillers. Botox is a freeze dried powder, which is reconstituted by adding saline, and the concentration can be varied depending on the injector's preference; so with Botox you need to know the units, not the vial or syringe.

 Vials and syringes are not the same. Vial is a dose of Kybella in which it is packed for treatments, while syringe is used to inject Kybella. Usually Kybella comes in 2ml vials, and syringes are usually 1ml, therefore it seems to me that you had 2 vials or 4 syringes. I may be wrong. Contact your provider for clarifications. Good luck!

 

Thank you for
your question spedteacher90. Kybella is
the first and thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for
the double chin. Dosing can be confusing. The product comes in vials and there are 2 cc per vial. Typically two vials are used per treatment for a total of 4 cc. The product is withdrawn into syringes which are used to inject. If the syringes are 1 cc each, this equates to 4 syringes. Personally I use 0.6 cc per syringe, which necessitates 7 syringes. This is just more comfortable for me when I inject. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Sounds like you used 2 vials, which is 4 ml syringes. Kybella comes in a 2 ml size. We use 1 ml syringes which means we get 2 syringes from 1 vial. If you have concerns, the office you were treated at should be able to confirm the exact amount for you. Hope this helps

Hello,

They are not the same terms. We refer to Vials of Kibella. The vials come in 2ml. How many syringes depends on the volume of the syringe. The technique is important, the amount can vary.
