You’re tired of catching glimpses of yourself and seeing lines that weren’t there five years ago. The forehead creases that deepen when you concentrate. The crow’s feet that show up in every photo. The frown lines between your brows that make you look stressed even when you’re not.
Botox changes that. In about 15 minutes, you can smooth away the signs of aging that have been bothering you. No surgery, no lengthy recovery, no dramatic changes that make people wonder what you’ve done. Just a refreshed version of yourself that looks like you got great sleep for a month straight.
The results show up within a week and last 3-4 months. Most of our Pawling patients schedule their next appointment before they leave, because once you see how good you look, you’ll want to keep it that way.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been serving patients across Dutchess County and surrounding areas for over 30 years. Our practice has built a reputation on something simple: taking exceptional care of people who trust us with their health and appearance.
What sets Dr. Kupetz apart isn’t just his experience—it’s his approach. He understands that many people feel anxious about cosmetic procedures, so he takes time to explain exactly what to expect. Our patients consistently mention his gentle technique and the comfortable environment we create.
Located in the heart of Dutchess County, our practice draws patients from throughout the Hudson Valley who want Botox treatments from someone they can trust. When you’re considering a cosmetic procedure, experience matters. So does finding a provider who listens to your concerns and delivers results that look natural, not overdone.
Your Botox treatment starts with a consultation where Dr. Kupetz examines your facial muscles and discusses your goals. He’ll ask you to make various expressions—frowning, smiling, raising your eyebrows—to see exactly where the wrinkles form and determine the best injection sites.
The actual treatment takes about 10-15 minutes. Using a very fine needle, Dr. Kupetz injects small amounts of Botox into specific muscles that cause wrinkles. Most people describe the sensation as a quick pinch—uncomfortable for a second, then done. No anesthesia needed.
After your treatment, you can return to your normal activities immediately. You’ll want to avoid lying down for a few hours and skip intense exercise for 24 hours, but that’s it. Results typically become visible within 3-7 days as the treated muscles gradually relax, smoothing the overlying skin.

Our Botox treatments address the most common aging concerns in the upper face. Forehead lines, those horizontal creases that appear when you raise your eyebrows, respond beautifully to targeted injections. Frown lines—the vertical “11” lines between your brows—can be significantly softened, helping you look less stressed and more approachable.
Crow’s feet, the fine lines that branch out from the corners of your eyes, are particularly responsive to Botox. These lines often make people look older than they feel, and treating them can take years off your appearance.
For Pawling residents, the convenience factor matters. The treatment fits easily into a lunch break, and the results develop gradually, so colleagues and friends notice you look refreshed without being able to pinpoint exactly what changed. Our approach focuses on natural-looking results that enhance your appearance without making it obvious you’ve had work done.
Botox pricing depends on the number of areas treated and the amount of product needed to achieve your desired results. Most patients in Pawling invest between $300-600 per treatment session, depending on whether they’re treating one area like crow’s feet or multiple areas like forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet together.
Dr. Kupetz provides transparent pricing during your consultation after examining your specific concerns. Many patients find that treating multiple areas at once provides better value and more comprehensive results. The investment typically lasts 3-4 months, making it a cost-effective alternative to more invasive procedures.
We accept various payment options and can discuss financing if needed. The key is getting treatment from an experienced provider who uses the right amount of product to achieve natural-looking results that justify your investment.
Most patients see their Botox results last 3-4 months, though this can vary based on individual factors like muscle strength, metabolism, and the area treated. Forehead lines often last closer to 4 months, while areas with stronger muscles like crow’s feet might need touch-ups slightly sooner.
First-time patients sometimes find their results don’t last quite as long as subsequent treatments. This is normal—your muscles are learning to stay relaxed, and many people find their results last longer with regular treatments.
Dr. Kupetz typically recommends scheduling your next appointment when you notice about 25% of the muscle movement returning. This maintains consistent results and can actually help extend the longevity of each treatment over time. Most Pawling patients settle into a routine of treatments every 3-4 months.
Absolutely. Dentists like Dr. Kupetz have extensive training in facial anatomy, particularly the muscles and nerves of the face and jaw area. This background actually makes dentists well-qualified to administer Botox safely and effectively.
Dr. Kupetz has over 30 years of experience working with facial structures and has completed specialized training in cosmetic Botox applications. Dentists understand facial muscle function intimately—knowledge that’s crucial for achieving natural-looking results while avoiding complications.
The safety profile of Botox is excellent when administered by qualified healthcare professionals. Dr. Kupetz follows strict protocols for storage, handling, and injection techniques. His experience treating patients with dental anxiety also translates well to helping cosmetic patients feel comfortable and confident throughout their Botox treatment.
Dr. Kupetz commonly treats the upper face areas where dynamic wrinkles form from repeated muscle contractions. This includes forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet around the eyes. These are the FDA-approved cosmetic areas where Botox has proven most effective.
Beyond standard cosmetic applications, Botox can also address functional concerns. Dr. Kupetz can use Botox for TMJ treatment, helping patients who grind their teeth or experience jaw tension. This dual expertise—cosmetic and functional—sets dental providers apart in the Botox field.
During your consultation, Dr. Kupetz will examine your specific concerns and recommend the most effective treatment approach. Some patients benefit from treating multiple areas simultaneously for comprehensive facial rejuvenation, while others prefer to start with their primary concern and add areas over time.
You’ll start noticing changes within 3-5 days after your Botox treatment, with full results visible by day 7-10. The improvement happens gradually as the treated muscles slowly relax, which is actually ideal—it means your results develop naturally without sudden, dramatic changes.
Some patients notice subtle improvements as early as 24-48 hours, particularly in areas like frown lines where the muscles are strong. Crow’s feet and forehead lines typically take the full week to show complete results.
This gradual onset is one of Botox’s advantages. Your friends and colleagues will notice you look refreshed and well-rested, but they won’t be able to pinpoint exactly what changed. Dr. Kupetz times treatments strategically so you’ll look your best for important events, with results peaking just when you want them most.
Yes, Botox works beautifully in combination with other aesthetic treatments. Dr. Kupetz also offers dermal fillers like Juvederm, which complement Botox by addressing different types of aging concerns. While Botox smooths dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, fillers restore volume and treat static wrinkles.
Many Pawling patients find that combining treatments provides more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. For example, Botox can smooth forehead lines while fillers enhance lip volume or soften nasolabial folds. The treatments can be done simultaneously or staged based on your comfort level and budget.
Dr. Kupetz will assess your individual needs and recommend the most effective combination approach. His experience with both Botox and fillers allows him to create treatment plans that address multiple aging concerns while maintaining natural-looking results. The key is working with a provider who understands how different treatments work together harmoniously.
