Common Questions About Kybella
How much does Kybella cost?
The cost of Kybella varies, typically ranging from $600 to $1,200 per vial. Most patients require 2-4 vials per session, so the total cost will depend on the number of vials and sessions needed.
How long does Kybella last?
Kybella provides permanent results by breaking down fat cells that are then eliminated by your body. As long as you maintain a stable weight, your contoured jawline will remain.
Who shouldn’t get Kybella?
Kybella may not be suitable for everyone. People with significant skin laxity or loose skin may not achieve their desired results, as Kybella does not improve skin elasticity. Additionally, those with infections, allergies to the ingredients in Kybella, or certain medical conditions should consult with their provider to determine if Kybella is right for them.
What is the best age to get Kybella?
There’s no specific “best age” for Kybella, though it is often most effective in adults with moderate to severe submental fullness and good skin elasticity, typically between ages 25-50.
CoolSculpting vs. Kybella: Which is better?
Both CoolSculpting and Kybella are non-surgical fat reduction treatments, but they work differently. CoolSculpting freezes fat cells, while Kybella uses an acid to break down fat cells. Many prefer Kybella for more precise treatment under the chin, while CoolSculpting may be preferable for larger areas.
Is there a cheaper alternative to Kybella?
Currently, there is no direct alternative to Kybella that offers the same targeted, permanent fat reduction for submental fullness. CoolSculpting is sometimes used as an alternative, but it may require multiple sessions and may not provide the same level of precision.
