Does it hurt?
No injectable treatment is completely pain-free, but most patients find Kybella treatments quite tolerable. We mix lidocaine with the kybella so the area numbs as Kybella is injected. Plus the needle used is tiny, and the treatment is very quick so it will be over before you know it.
Is Kybella Safe?
Yes, Kybella is regarded as safe when administered by a trained, qualified professional. It’s made of synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule your body naturally produces to break down dietary fat. Kybella was approved for cosmetic use by the FDA in 2015.
As with any aesthetic procedure, it’s essential to see a licensed and experienced injector with the knowledge and skill to properly and safely inject Kybella.
