You’ll see smoother forehead lines, reduced crow’s feet, and diminished frown lines within days of treatment. The results typically last 3-6 months, giving you months of renewed confidence without the frozen look you might worry about.
Most patients in Preston-Potter Hollow and throughout Albany County notice their skin looks refreshed and more youthful, but still completely natural. You’ll still have all your facial expressions – just without the deep lines that make you look older than you feel.
The best part? If you’re not completely satisfied, the effects are temporary and will gradually fade. But most of our patients book their next appointment before their current results even wear off.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been serving the Preston-Potter Hollow community and surrounding Albany County areas for over three decades. As a graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson College of Dental Medicine, he brings extensive knowledge of facial anatomy that makes him uniquely qualified to administer Botox safely and effectively.
What sets Dr. Kupetz apart is his understanding that many patients feel anxious about cosmetic procedures. He specializes in creating a comfortable, judgment-free environment where you can discuss your goals openly.
Our practice serves the tight-knit Preston-Potter Hollow community, where residents value quality, safety, and personal attention. You’re not just another appointment – you’re a neighbor who deserves the best possible care.
Your Botox experience starts with a thorough consultation where Dr. Kupetz evaluates your facial structure and discusses your specific goals. We’ll explain exactly what to expect and answer any questions you have about the procedure.
The actual treatment takes less than 30 minutes. Using a fine needle, Dr. Kupetz precisely injects small amounts of Botox into targeted facial muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch – much less uncomfortable than they expected.
You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment. Within 3-7 days, you’ll start seeing the smoothing effects as the treated muscles gradually relax. The full results develop over the following two weeks, revealing smoother, more youthful-looking skin that still moves naturally.

Dr. Kupetz offers targeted Botox treatments for forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines between the eyebrows, and other dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions. We can also address medical concerns like TMJ disorders, teeth grinding, and chronic jaw pain using therapeutic Botox applications.

Each treatment plan is customized to complement your unique facial structure and personal aesthetic goals.
Botox results typically last 3-6 months, depending on your individual metabolism and muscle activity. Most patients in Preston-Potter Hollow schedule maintenance appointments every 4 months to maintain their results.
Factors that can affect duration include your age, skin condition, lifestyle, and how your body processes the treatment. Patients who exercise frequently or have very active facial muscles may find their results fade slightly sooner, while others enjoy longer-lasting effects.
Dr. Kupetz will discuss realistic expectations during your consultation and help you plan a maintenance schedule that fits your lifestyle and budget. Many patients find that with regular treatments, they need less frequent touch-ups over time.
Absolutely. Dentists like Dr. Kupetz are actually among the most qualified professionals to administer Botox due to their extensive training in facial anatomy, nerves, and muscle structure. We understand the complex relationships between facial muscles better than most other healthcare providers.
Dr. Kupetz has specialized training in Botox applications and over 30 years of experience working in the delicate facial area. His background in dentistry means he has the steady hands and precision required for safe, effective injections.
The key is choosing a qualified, experienced practitioner – which is exactly what you get with Dr. Kupetz. We follow all FDA guidelines and safety protocols to ensure your treatment is both safe and effective.
Not when administered properly by an experienced practitioner like Dr. Kupetz. The “frozen” look comes from using too much Botox or injecting it in the wrong locations – something that doesn’t happen with proper technique and conservative dosing.
Dr. Kupetz uses precise, targeted doses to relax specific muscles while preserving your natural facial expressions. You’ll still be able to smile, laugh, and show emotion normally – just without the deep wrinkles that develop from repeated muscle contractions.
The goal is to help you look like a refreshed, more youthful version of yourself, not like a different person entirely. Dr. Kupetz takes a conservative approach, especially for first-time patients, to ensure natural-looking results that enhance rather than alter your appearance.
Side effects from Botox are generally mild and temporary. The most common include slight bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days. Some patients experience mild headaches, but these are uncommon and short-lived.
Serious side effects are extremely rare when Botox is administered by a qualified professional like Dr. Kupetz. We follow strict safety protocols and use precise injection techniques to minimize any risks.
Before your treatment, Dr. Kupetz will review your medical history and discuss any concerns you might have. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to help minimize bruising and ensure the best possible results. If you experience any unusual symptoms after treatment, our office is always available to address your concerns.
Botox is typically priced per unit, and the total cost depends on how many areas you’re treating and how many units you need. During your consultation, Dr. Kupetz will provide a detailed estimate based on your specific treatment plan and goals.
Many patients find that Botox is more affordable than they expected, especially when compared to more invasive cosmetic procedures. Our office can discuss payment options and help you understand what your insurance might cover if you’re receiving Botox for medical reasons like TMJ or chronic migraines.
The investment in professional Botox treatment pays dividends in increased confidence and a more youthful appearance. Dr. Kupetz focuses on providing excellent value through expert technique, premium products, and personalized care that you simply can’t get from less experienced providers.
Yes, Botox is highly effective for treating TMJ disorders, chronic jaw pain, and bruxism (teeth grinding). Dr. Kupetz uses therapeutic Botox to relax the overactive jaw muscles that cause these painful conditions, providing relief that traditional treatments sometimes can’t achieve.
For patients with TMJ, Botox injections into the masseter and temporalis muscles can significantly reduce jaw tension, clicking, and pain. Those who grind their teeth at night often find that Botox reduces the intensity of grinding, protecting their teeth and reducing morning jaw soreness.
The therapeutic use of Botox for these conditions may be covered by your insurance, unlike cosmetic treatments. Dr. Kupetz will evaluate your specific situation and work with your insurance company to maximize your coverage. Many patients are pleasantly surprised to discover that their medical Botox treatments are partially or fully covered.
