How Our Pricing Works
A la carte pricing by the unit, and volume specials from 50 units. The rates are public and the math is simple, and at volume, Xeomin is the best value on the menu.

Why Dysport numbers look different
Dysport units are simply a smaller measuring cup: it takes roughly two and a half to three Dysport units to do the work of one Botox unit, so the number on your chart is bigger while the treatment is not. Your provider sets the dose for your muscles, and at a la carte rates a Dysport visit generally lands close to the equivalent Botox visit.
Why regulars choose Xeomin
Xeomin is the most purified formulation in the family, and it carries our best volume price: $9 a unit from 50 units, against $11 for Botox. Same a la carte rate, more correction per dollar at volume. If you have no brand loyalty, the math points at Xeomin.
The volume specials
Reach 50 units and the special rate applies: $9 a unit for Xeomin, $11 for Botox (and $9 again at 100), or $3 for Dysport from 150 units. All units must be used in a single appointment, and you are welcome to bring a friend or loved one to use units with you. Each person always receives their own consultation and their own treatment from our medical team.
Planning a full-face refresh? The Full Face runs 64 units and covers forehead, frown lines and crow’s feet. In Xeomin it is $576 at the volume rate, $128 less than the same visit in Botox. Your provider confirms the exact plan in the room.

Neuromodulators, also called toxin injections or wrinkle relaxers are injectable treatments that temporarily reduce the movement of the underlying muscles. This process will soften muscle action and ultimately reduce any tightness, fine lines or wrinkling that result.
Toxins also target dynamic wrinkles, the lines that form from repeated expressions like squinting, frowning, and raising your eyebrows. At Cienega Medical, we offer three FDA-approved wrinkle relaxers: Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin among others.
Each uses botulinum toxin type A to block nerve signals that trigger muscle contraction, but they differ in formulation, onset speed, and how they spread beneath the skin. Choosing the right wrinkle relaxer depends on the treatment area, your skin, and how your body has responded to previous treatments. Some patients prefer Dysport for broader areas like the forehead, while others choose Xeomin for its purified “naked” formulation. Your provider will recommend the best fit during a complimentary consultation at any of our three Los Angeles locations in West Hollywood, Calabasas, and Santa Monica.

-
What is the difference between Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin?
All three are botulinum toxin type A products that relax muscles to smooth wrinkles. The key differences are in their formulation. Botox and Dysport contain complexing proteins, while Xeomin is a "naked" neurotoxin with no additives. Dysport tends to spread more, making it popular for larger areas like the forehead. Your provider can explain which may work best for your goals.
-
How do I choose between the three options?
All three relax the same wrinkle-causing muscles; the differences are feel and fit. Botox is the most familiar with the longest track record. Dysport kicks in a little faster and spreads softly, which suits broader areas like the forehead. Xeomin is a purified formulation and is where our specials run. Whichever you pick, pricing rewards treating your full plan in one visit, and your provider will confirm the right product and dose in the room.
-
How long do results last?
Most wrinkle relaxers last 3-4 months, though this varies by individual, treatment area, and product used. Some patients find Dysport kicks in faster (2-3 days vs 5-7 for Botox) but may wear off slightly sooner. Regular maintenance treatments can help results last longer over time.
-
What areas can be treated?
Common treatment areas include forehead lines, frown lines (the "11s" between the brows), and crow's feet. Advanced applications include brow lifts, bunny lines, lip flip, chin dimpling, jawline slimming (masseter), and neck bands. Your provider will assess which areas would benefit most.
-
Does it hurt?
Most patients describe a brief pinching sensation. The needles used are very fine, and treatments take only 15-20 minutes. No numbing is typically needed, though we can apply ice or topical numbing if you prefer.
-
Is there any downtime?
No downtime is required. You can return to normal activities immediately. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours and not lying flat for 4 hours after treatment. Minor redness or swelling at injection sites typically resolves within an hour.
-
Can I switch between products?
Yes. Many patients try different options over time. Since all three products work through the same mechanism, switching is safe and straightforward. Your provider can help you evaluate whether a different product might better suit your needs.
-
How soon will I see results?
Dysport often shows results in 2-3 days. Botox and Xeomin typically take 5-7 days for full effect, with peak results at about 2 weeks. Your provider will schedule a follow-up if needed to assess results and make any touch-up adjustments.
