Botulinum Toxin Type A treatments are typically considered cosmetic procedures and are therefore not usually covered by medical or dental insurance. Treatment is commonly measured by the units used (a measure of potency), which represent the amount of medication used during the procedure. The cost per unit can vary depending on the product used and treatment area, but it is often in the mid-$10 range per unit.
The number of units required varies from patient to patient depending on muscle strength and treatment goals. In general:

● Mild treatment: approximately 20–30 units● Moderate to stronger muscle activity: 30–60+ units

Your treatment plan will be determined during your consultation with Dr. Matos to ensure natural-looking results that match your goals.

The effects of Botox treatments typically last about 3–4 months. Many patients choose to return periodically to maintain consistent results.

Maintenance treatments may sometimes require fewer units than the initial visit, as the treated muscles often become more relaxed over time.
