What Drives Pricing Here

Three factors explain most of why kybella costs what it does in Louisiana.

Regional Price Parity

Louisiana's cost-of-living index sits at 93.2 — meaningfully below the national benchmark (100). This directly scales facility and staffing overhead, which flow through to every procedure price.
