We charge $500/infusion. We recommend doing an induction with 6-8 treatments for best results

As a result, most insurers do not cover the treatment. We offer superbill that you can use to pursue reimbursement.

Many patients notice improvement after 2-3 sessions, with optimal results typically achieved by the end of the initial series. Maintenance treatments every 2-8 weeks help sustain benefits long-term.
