Kybella dosages are typically based on the surface area being treated - each 0.2cc injection of Kybella diffuses though a set area. 1cc is an exceptionally low dose - in the initial scientific studies, average first dose was 6.4cc (just over 3 vials). I personally seldom use less than 3 vials per treatment, and often use more than that.
