Pricing

How much does Botox cost at MeliOra?

Botox, Xeomin, and Jeuveau are each $12 per unit. Your total depends on the areas you treat and the number of units your plan calls for, and Dr. Espinet goes over the units and the total with you before any treatment begins.

How much does GLP-1 weight loss cost each month?

Semaglutide starts at $150 a month, with higher dosing at $240 a month. Tirzepatide runs $230 to $320 a month. Your monthly price includes in-home physician visits, lab work, the medication and supplies, dose adjustments, and check-ins with Dr. Espinet.

How much do wellness shots cost?

Every shot on the menu is $30, or you can get 4 shots for $80. The price is the same for Revital B12, Immune Renew, Revita, Lean Ease Lipo-C, MD Boost, and NAD Boost.

Do you take insurance?

MeliOra is a self-pay practice, as our Terms & Conditions explain. Prices are published on each service page so you know what to expect before you book, and your final price is confirmed at your consultation.

House calls, travel, and the Lutz office

Does Dr. Espinet really come to my home?

Yes. Dr. Espinet brings your treatment to your home or office and sets up a clean treatment area wherever you are. All you need is a confirmed address, a way in, and a safe, private space for your treatment.

Which areas do you serve?

House calls cover Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties, including Lutz, Tampa, South Tampa, New Tampa, Westchase, Carrollwood, Citrus Park, Odessa, Trinity, Land O’ Lakes, Wesley Chapel, Brandon, Riverview, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg. Not sure you’re in range? Call or text (813) 726-5808.

Is there a travel fee for a house call?

No. There is no travel fee anywhere in the service area and no surcharge for coming to you, so a house call costs the same menu price as an appointment at the Lutz office.

Where is MeliOra located, and can I come to you?

MeliOra is based in Lutz, Florida. Most visits happen at your home or office, and select in-person appointments are also available at the Lutz office, by appointment only. You’ll find the full address on our contact page.

Can you treat a group at my office or an event?

Yes. Groups can book a Botox party or an office wellness-shot day. Each guest has a private consultation with Dr. Espinet before any treatment, and she performs every injection herself.

Botox and neuromodulators

Which neuromodulators do you offer?

Botox, Xeomin, and Jeuveau. All three are FDA-approved and priced the same, and Dr. Espinet recommends the one that fits your goals and your history.

Do you offer Dysport or dermal fillers?

No. The menu is Botox, Xeomin, and Jeuveau only, and MeliOra does not offer Dysport or fillers. If you’ve had Dysport before, tell Dr. Espinet at your consultation so she can plan your dose.

When will I see results, and how long do they last?

Most people notice softening within a few days, with the full effect by about two weeks. Results commonly last three to four months, depending on the area, your dose, and how your body responds.

What areas can be treated?

Common areas include forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet. Dr. Espinet also treats the jaw (masseter), the upper lip with a lip flip, a gummy smile, and neck bands. Some of these are off-label uses, which she explains before you decide.

Medical weight loss

How do I choose between semaglutide and tirzepatide?

Semaglutide acts on the GLP-1 receptor. Tirzepatide acts on both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors and costs more each month. Dr. Espinet recommends one at your consultation based on your health history, how you’ve done on past medications, your goals, and your budget.

Am I a candidate for GLP-1 weight loss?

It depends on your health history, weight, lab work, and goals, and Dr. Espinet decides with you at a full evaluation. These medications are not right for everyone. For example, they are not used if you or a close relative has had medullary thyroid carcinoma, or if you have MEN 2.

What happens at the first weight-loss visit?

Dr. Espinet meets you at home or at your office, reviews your health history and medications, and orders lab work. If GLP-1 care is a good fit, she sets a starting dose and a plan for follow-up.

What if I have side effects?

Tell Dr. Espinet early by calling or texting (813) 726-5808. Side effects such as nausea are a reason to adjust your plan, and dose adjustments and check-ins are part of your monthly price. Severe stomach pain that will not go away needs prompt medical care.

Wellness shots

What wellness shots are on the menu?

Six shots: Revital B12 (vitamin B12), Immune Renew, Revita (an amino acid blend), Lean Ease Lipo-C (a lipotropic blend), MD Boost, and NAD Boost (NAD+). Ask Dr. Espinet what Immune Renew and MD Boost contain and whether either suits you.

Will a B12 shot give me more energy?

It depends on your starting level. If your B12 is low, correcting it often eases the tiredness a deficiency causes. If your level is already normal, research has not shown that extra B12 adds energy, so a blood test is a sensible first step.

Do lipotropic and NAD+ shots work?

The research is limited. A lipotropic shot is not a weight-loss treatment on its own, and there are no large trials of NAD+ injections in healthy people. Dr. Espinet explains what the evidence does and does not show, so you can decide with realistic expectations.

Safety and your physician

Who performs the treatments?

Dr. Melanie Espinet, MD, a board-certified family physician, performs every treatment herself. There are no delegated injectors at MeliOra.

How can I check Dr. Espinet’s credentials?

Her credentials are public records. You can look up her Florida medical license (ME165010) with the Florida Department of Health, her National Provider Identifier (1750902136) in the federal NPI registry, and her board certification in the American Board of Family Medicine directory. The links are on her About page.

Is it safe to be treated at home?

Safety comes from careful screening and technique, not the building. Dr. Espinet reviews your health history and medications first, brings clinical-grade supplies, and sets up a clean treatment area. She may reschedule if the space is not safe for treatment.

What should I do if I have a concern after treatment?

Call or text Dr. Espinet at (813) 726-5808. For trouble swallowing, speaking, or breathing, signs of a serious allergic reaction, or any other emergency, call 911 right away. MeliOra does not provide primary or urgent care.

Is my health information kept private?

Yes. MeliOra follows a HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices that explains how your health information is protected and what rights you have. Visits also happen in your own space, with no shared waiting room.
