Description

Kabelline sold as a single vial ONLY

Kabelline is a specific formulation of deoxycholic acid. This is a naturally produced detergent, that when injected into the human body can dissolve fat. It has been used for decades but became popular after a specific formulation called “Kybella” got FDA approval for use in the under the chin area. 

Kybella is also deoxycholic acid, but specifically, it is a formulation that has a concentration of 20mg/mL. In order to be approved, the FDA requires confirmation of both safety and evidence that the product works. After clinical trials, Kybella was proven to be safe and effective on 1,738 patients specifically at a dosage of 20mg/mL and even more specifically in patients who had “moderate to severe” submental fat. 

How is Kabelline Different than Kybella?

Based on the recommended treatment volumes and intervals, it is my guess that Kabelline is a more dilute version of Kybella. While Kybella is usually spaced 6 weeks apart, Kabelline is recommended to be injected just 1 week apart. This is likely a good thing as it is available for purchase without a medical license and used as a DIY at-home treatment.

Is Kabelline safe?

Since no trials have been done on this product you can’t say either way. In my personal opinion, anything that involves potential risks of nerve injury or your skin dying should not be done with some form of supervision. In addition, patient selection is something that is important. Not everyone is a candidate for Kabelline, Kybella, chin lipo, or any cosmetic treatment. 

Does Kabelline work?

While Kybella is reserved for a moderate to severe double chin, based on the fact that Kabelline is a lower dosage, to begin with, I would suggest it would work best in people with very mild fat. Perhaps, this is why it worked so well in a country like Korea where it originated?
