When it comes to neurotoxin injections, expertise matters more than anything. At Rani Beauty Clinic, your Botox and Dysport treatments are overseen by Dr. Alexander Landfield - a board-certified neurologist who brings an unparalleled understanding of facial nerve anatomy and neuromuscular function to every treatment, ensuring results that look natural, never frozen.
Botox and Dysport at Rani Beauty Clinic are for patients who want softer expression lines without an overdone or frozen look. The differentiator is medical oversight: treatment planning is guided by facial muscle movement, symmetry, and neuromuscular anatomy rather than a one-size-fits-all unit count.

A strong neurotoxin plan starts with facial movement, not a fixed unit count. Your consultation should evaluate brow position, muscle strength, symmetry, prior treatments, and whether your goal is prevention, softening, or a more lifted look.
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation where your injector evaluates your facial anatomy, muscle movement patterns, skin quality, and aesthetic goals. Under Dr. Landfield's protocols, we assess not just where wrinkles are visible at rest, but how the entire network of facial muscles interacts during expression. This neurological approach to facial analysis ensures that treatment is strategic and holistic, not just reactive.
Based on your facial assessment, a personalized injection plan is developed specifying the product (Botox or Dysport), the precise injection sites, and the exact dosing for each area. Whether you are seeking subtle prevention (sometimes called 'baby Botox') or more comprehensive smoothing, the plan is tailored to achieve your desired level of correction while maintaining natural expression and movement.
Using ultra-fine needles, the neurotoxin is injected into the targeted muscles with precision. The entire injection process typically takes 10-15 minutes. Most clients describe the sensation as a brief pinch - no numbing is usually needed, although ice or a topical numbing agent can be applied upon request. The number of injection points varies based on your treatment plan, but common areas include the forehead, glabella (between the brows), and crow's feet.
After the injections, you receive aftercare instructions and are free to return to your normal activities immediately. A follow-up appointment is scheduled for 2 weeks post-treatment so your injector can assess the results, ensure symmetry, and make any minor adjustments if needed. This included touch-up appointment is a standard part of our commitment to optimal results.
Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements - including aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, and alcohol - for at least 48 hours before your appointment to minimize bruising. Arrive with a clean face free of makeup in the treatment area. If this is your first neurotoxin treatment, come prepared to discuss your medical history, any medications you take, and your aesthetic goals. There is no need for numbing cream, but you may request it if you are sensitive to needles.
The consultation and injection process combined takes approximately 30 minutes, with the actual injections taking only 10-15 minutes. You will be seated comfortably, and your injector will mark the planned injection sites on your skin. Each injection delivers a tiny amount of product through an ultra-fine needle - most clients feel only a brief pinch. Ice may be applied to reduce any momentary discomfort. You will be asked to make various facial expressions so the injector can observe your muscle movement and ensure precise placement.
You can resume all normal activities immediately. Avoid lying flat, vigorous exercise, and rubbing or massaging the treated areas for 4 hours after treatment. Do not schedule any facials, laser treatments, or dental procedures for 2 weeks to allow the neurotoxin to fully settle. Initial effects become visible within 3-5 days for Dysport and 5-7 days for Botox, with full results apparent at 10-14 days. Results typically last 3-4 months, and your follow-up appointment at 2 weeks allows us to assess results and make any needed adjustments.
Neurotoxin results develop gradually over the first 1-2 weeks following treatment. Dysport tends to have a slightly faster onset (3-5 days) compared to Botox (5-7 days), though individual response varies. Full results are visible at approximately 10-14 days. You will notice that dynamic wrinkles - the lines that appear when you make facial expressions - are significantly softened or eliminated, while your face retains natural movement and expression. Results typically last 3-4 months, after which the muscle activity gradually returns and wrinkles may reappear. With regular maintenance treatments (every 3-4 months), many clients find that they need less product over time as the muscles become trained to relax. There is no downtime - mild redness or small bumps at the injection sites resolve within minutes to hours.

The single most important factor in neurotoxin treatment outcomes is the expertise of the injector - and this is where Rani Beauty Clinic stands apart. Our Medical Director, Dr. Alexander Landfield, is a board-certified neurologist, a physician whose entire career has been dedicated to understanding the nervous system and neuromuscular function. This level of expertise in the product's mechanism of action is virtually unmatched in the aesthetic industry. Dr. Landfield's neurological background informs every treatment protocol at our clinic, resulting in precise dosing, accurate placement, and natural-looking outcomes. Our approach focuses on strategic, conservative treatment that enhances your natural beauty rather than altering your appearance. We use only authentic, FDA-approved Botox (Allergan) and Dysport (Galderma) products, never counterfeit or diluted formulations. For neurotoxin injections, there is simply no substitute for a neurologist's expertise.
Botox & Dysport pricing ranges from $350 depending on the treatment area, protocol, and plan reviewed during your paid assessment.

Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) and Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) are both FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A products that work by the same mechanism - temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles. The key differences are molecular: Dysport has smaller protein molecules that tend to diffuse slightly more, making it well-suited for larger treatment areas like the forehead. Dysport also tends to have a slightly faster onset (3-5 days vs. 5-7 days for Botox). Some clients prefer the feel or longevity of one product over the other. During your consultation, our team will discuss which product may be best suited for your specific treatment areas and preferences. Many of our clients alternate between the two or use different products for different areas.
Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin - it works by blocking nerve signals at the neuromuscular junction. A neurologist's entire career is built on understanding nerve function, neuromuscular physiology, and the behavior of these types of agents. Dr. Landfield's board-certified neurological expertise means he has a deep, clinical understanding of facial nerve anatomy, muscle interaction patterns, and the pharmacology of neuromodulators that goes far beyond standard aesthetic injector training. This translates to more precise dosing, better anticipation of how the product will behave in each patient, and a significantly lower risk of complications like ptosis (eyelid drooping) or asymmetry. When a neurologist oversees your neurotoxin treatment, you are receiving care from the type of specialist who understands these products at the deepest level.
Not at our clinic. The 'frozen' look is the result of over-treatment - too many units injected into too many muscle groups, eliminating all natural facial movement. Our philosophy, guided by Dr. Landfield's neurological expertise, is strategic precision: we target specific muscles at carefully calibrated doses to soften wrinkles while preserving your natural range of facial expression. The goal is for people to notice that you look refreshed and well-rested - not that you have had a cosmetic procedure. We always err on the side of conservative treatment and offer an included 2-week follow-up to make adjustments if needed.
Results typically last 3-4 months for most clients. Individual longevity varies based on factors including metabolism, muscle strength, the area treated, and dosage. Some clients find their results last longer with repeated treatments, as the targeted muscles become conditioned to remain relaxed. We recommend scheduling your maintenance appointment before your previous treatment has fully worn off - typically every 3-4 months - to maintain consistent results and prevent wrinkles from re-establishing.
