BOTOX®
Ready to talk the TOX? Smiling, frowning, raising our eyebrows—they’re all part of how we express ourselves and all the things we’re feeling. The bad news? They leave lines in our skin over time and keep us from looking like our freshest and most youthful selves. Luckily, there’s a solution: BOTOX—and its “cousin” Dysport®!
At our Tigard, OR and Vancouver, WA med spa, we use BOTOX to smooth away dynamic wrinkles and give you a refreshed look without ever making you look “overdone.” It’s super quick, easy, and effective. There’s a reason it’s one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the entire world!
Keep in mind that each patient is unique, and your results may vary.

What is BOTOX?
BOTOX is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin with more than 25 years of successful medical and cosmetic applications behind it. It’s a massively popular anti-aging treatment, thanks to its many perks, including:
- Minimally invasive
- No downtime
- Proven results
It’s a quick, practically painless way to look younger and fresher without a big commitment or a big price tag.
How Does BOTOX Work?
Botox® is an injectable with a 25-year track record of successful medical and cosmetic applications. The most popular use for Botox® is for aesthetic anti-aging purposes.
The active ingredient in the drug, a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin, blocks the nerve signals that communicate with your muscles and cause them to flex. This helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines from repeated muscle movements, particularly on your face. Injectors also use Botox® to treat several other medical conditions and symptoms from overactive muscles.
At Amélie, the team uses very fine needles to place your Botox® injections. They also use distraction techniques and ice to make your treatment as painless as possible.
How Much Does Botox Cost?
At our Tigard, OR and Vancouver, WA med spa, BOTOX is priced per unit, so your cost will vary depending on how many units are injected. Our Amélie members get our very best BOTOX and Dysport price at $14/unit.

From our highly trained providers to our friendly and helpful support staff, we’re all obsessed with delivering an unparalleled experience and giving you results you can’t wait to show off.
Which Areas Can I Target With BOTOX Injections?
While wrinkles are the most widely recognized target for BOTOX, it can treat other features, too. Amélie’s menu of BOTOX services includes:
Between the Brows
Between the Brows specifically addresses prominent “11s” or frown lines between your eyebrows.
Fresh Face
The Fresh Face treatment addresses several wrinkles on the upper half of your face, including crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead furrows.
Bright Eyes
Bright Eyes diminishes crow’s feet on the outer corners of your eyes.
Lip Flip
Lip Flip reduces lines and wrinkles on and around your lips. It also helps your upper lip look more voluminous.
Smooth Sailing
Smooth Sailing addresses forehead lines and frown lines at the same time.
Facial Slimming
The team at Amélie can use BOTOX injections to help relax and shrink an overdeveloped masseter muscle in your jaw and keep it from clenching.
Underarms
Many people don’t realize BOTOX can treat excessive sweating, specifically under your armpits. The condition is called hyperhidrosis, and it responds well to BOTOX injections.
Am I a Good Candidate for BOTOX Injections?
The team at Amélie will talk with you about your specific goals for treatment to determine whether or not BOTOX is the best option for you. You might be a candidate if:
- You’re over 18
- You’re not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have no active skin conditions
- You have realistic expectations
We may recommend BOTOX to you as a preventative measure even before you develop facial wrinkles if you’re concerned about getting them. Or, depending on the types of wrinkles you have, we may suggest other treatments, like dermal fillers or HALO™ laser skin resurfacing.
What Is It Like To Get BOTOX?
At Amélie, our experienced injectors use very fine needles to place your BOTOX injections in and around your targeted areas. They also use distraction techniques and ice to make your treatment as painless as possible. (Don’t stress about the needle pinch—most people say it feels like a little bug bite!)
Appointments are super quick—we’re talking less than 20 minutes in most cases.
What Is BOTOX Recovery Like?
There’s basically no recovery involved with BOTOX. You can head right back to work, school, or whatever else you’ve got planned. You might have some redness around your injection sites, but that usually goes away within a day.
When Will I See My BOTOX Results?
Results typically show up after about 5 to 10 days. (Dysport is a little faster and only takes about 2 days.) You can expect your results to last about 3 to 4 months.
