How much does Botox cost in Lutz, FL?
Botox, Xeomin, and Jeuveau are all $12/unit at MeliOra — transparent menu pricing with no house-call surcharge. Your total depends on the areas treated and the units your plan calls for, confirmed at your consultation.
How long does Botox last?
Results typically last three to four months, varying with the area treated, your dose, and your individual metabolism. Regular maintenance visits keep results consistent.
How soon will I see results?
Most patients notice softening within three to seven days, with the full effect developing by about two weeks.
What should I avoid after Botox?
Stay upright for about four hours, skip strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area. Dr. Espinet reviews personalized aftercare with you at your visit.
Does Botox hurt?
The injections use a very fine needle and feel like a quick pinch. A full treatment takes only minutes, and most patients find it far more comfortable than they expected.
Botox, Xeomin, or Jeuveau — which is right for me?
All three are FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A neuromodulators. Botox is the most established; Xeomin is a "naked" formulation without accessory proteins; Jeuveau is a newer, aesthetics-focused option. Dr. Espinet recommends the product that fits your goals — all three are the same price at MeliOra.
Do you offer Dysport?
MeliOra’s menu focuses on Botox, Xeomin, and Jeuveau. If you’ve had Dysport elsewhere and liked your results, Dr. Espinet maps your previous response to an equivalent plan at your consultation — Dysport is dosed on a different unit scale, so that conversion is exactly the kind of judgment a physician injector is for.
Do men get Botox at MeliOra?
Yes — men are one of the fastest-growing groups of Botox patients, and house calls make it easy to fit treatment around work. Dr. Espinet doses for a natural, masculine result: softened frown lines and crow’s feet without a frozen look or an arched brow.
Is Botox safe?
Botox has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use since 2002. At MeliOra, every treatment is administered personally by Dr. Espinet, a board-certified physician, using conservative dosing and FDA-approved neuromodulators only.
Do you really come to my home?
Yes. MeliOra is a mobile concierge practice: Dr. Espinet brings your treatment to your home or office across Lutz, Tampa, Wesley Chapel, and the greater Tampa Bay area — at the same menu pricing as any visit.
Do you offer dermal fillers?
No. MeliOra does not offer dermal filler of any kind. For facial treatments, the menu is neuromodulators only: Botox, Xeomin, and Jeuveau. For an upper lip that shows a little more, a lip flip is a filler-free option: a few units let the lip edge roll slightly outward. It does not add volume like filler, and Dr. Espinet can tell you whether it suits your goal.
What should I tell a new Botox provider about past treatments?
Share the product, the units, the areas, and the date of your last treatment, plus how long it lasted and anything you did not like, such as a heavy brow. Photos of your result at its best help too. If you were treated with Dysport, which MeliOra does not offer, say so: Dysport uses a different unit scale, so the number does not carry over one to one. Dr. Espinet uses your history to set a starting dose of Botox, Xeomin, or Jeuveau, then adjusts based on how you respond.
Do you offer Xeomin and Jeuveau in Lutz?
Yes. Xeomin and Jeuveau are on the menu alongside Botox, all at $12/unit. Like Botox, both are FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A products, available by house call or at select appointments at the Lutz office.
Can I come to the Lutz office instead of a house call?
Yes. Select in-person appointments are available at MeliOra’s Lutz office, by appointment only, at the same $12/unit. Book online, or call or text (813) 726-5808.
How much does Botox cost in Tampa?
At MeliOra it is $12/unit in Tampa, the same as in Lutz, with no travel fee anywhere in the service area across Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties. As an illustration, about 20 units for frown lines comes to about $240. Your exact total is the units your plan calls for times $12, set with Dr. Espinet at consultation.
How many units of Botox will I need?
It depends on the areas and your muscle strength. Forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet together commonly run 37 to 69 units, about $444 to $828 at $12/unit. These are illustrative, not quotes; Dr. Espinet sets your dose at consultation.
What are the common side effects of Botox?
Usually mild and temporary: redness, small bumps, a bruise, or a headache. Less often, a brow or eyelid droops for a few weeks. Rarely, effects spread beyond the treated area; seek medical care right away for trouble swallowing, speaking, or breathing. Dr. Espinet reviews your risks at consultation.
Can I get Botox while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Treatment is generally postponed during pregnancy and breastfeeding, because safety has not been established. Tell Dr. Espinet if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or nursing, and plan treatment for afterward.
How far before a wedding should I get Botox?
For forehead lines, frown lines, or crow’s feet, at least two weeks, since the full effect takes about two weeks. For a first treatment, three to four weeks gives you time to see your result and talk with Dr. Espinet before the day. Jaw slimming with masseter Botox takes longer to show, often four to eight weeks, so plan that further ahead.
