You want to look like yourself, just better. That’s exactly what professional Botox treatments deliver when performed by someone who truly understands facial anatomy.
At Scott Kupetz, DMD, we approach Botox differently than typical med spas. As a dental professional, Dr. Kupetz has extensive training in the muscles, nerves, and structures of your face and head. This expertise translates to more precise injections, natural-looking results, and treatments that actually address the root cause of your concerns.
Whether you’re dealing with persistent forehead lines, crow’s feet that make you look tired, or jaw tension that’s affecting your daily comfort, our Botox treatments deliver results you can see within days. Most patients notice improvements within 72 hours, with full effects lasting up to four months.
Dr. Scott Kupetz brings years of experience in facial anatomy to every Botox treatment. Unlike practitioners who focus solely on cosmetic applications, his dental background provides a comprehensive understanding of how facial muscles, jaw function, and oral health interconnect.
This unique perspective is particularly valuable for Brunswick residents dealing with TMJ disorders, teeth grinding, or chronic headaches. Dr. Kupetz can address both the aesthetic and therapeutic benefits of Botox in a single treatment approach.
Located in Rensselaer County’s growing professional community, our practice serves patients who value expertise, precision, and results that enhance their confidence without looking artificial.
Your Botox treatment begins with a thorough consultation where Dr. Kupetz evaluates your facial anatomy, discusses your goals, and creates a customized treatment plan. He’ll explain exactly where injections will be placed and what results you can expect.
The actual treatment takes just 15-30 minutes. Using ultra-fine needles, Dr. Kupetz precisely injects small amounts of Botox into targeted muscle groups. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch with minimal discomfort.
You can return to work immediately after treatment. Within 24-72 hours, you’ll begin noticing the muscles relaxing and lines softening. Full results appear within 7-10 days and typically last 3-4 months. Regular treatments can actually help prevent deeper lines from forming over time.

Our Botox treatments address both cosmetic and therapeutic concerns common among Brunswick’s professional community. For aesthetic enhancement, we target forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines between the brows, and can perform lip flips for subtle lip enhancement.
Therapeutically, Botox is highly effective for TMJ disorders, chronic teeth grinding (bruxism), and tension headaches. Many of our Rensselaer County patients are surprised to learn their persistent headaches stem from jaw clenching or muscle tension that Botox can effectively address.
Given Brunswick’s median age of 44.8 years and professional demographic, we also offer preventative Botox treatments. Starting treatments before deep lines set in can maintain a youthful appearance longer and reduce the need for more intensive procedures later.
Botox is typically priced per unit, with most treatments in the Brunswick area ranging from $10-14 per unit. The total cost depends on the areas being treated and the number of units required.
For example, treating crow’s feet might require 12-15 units per side, while forehead lines typically need 15-20 units. During your consultation, Dr. Kupetz will provide an exact quote based on your specific treatment plan. We also participate in manufacturer discount programs that can help reduce costs for regular patients.
Absolutely. In fact, dentists are uniquely qualified to perform Botox injections due to their extensive training in facial anatomy, nerve pathways, and injection techniques. Dr. Kupetz administers injections daily as part of dental procedures, making him highly skilled in precise, comfortable injection methods.
Dentists understand the complex relationship between facial muscles, jaw function, and overall oral health better than most practitioners. This expertise is particularly valuable when treating TMJ disorders, teeth grinding, or addressing both cosmetic and therapeutic concerns simultaneously.
The same precision and safety standards we apply to dental procedures are maintained for all Botox treatments.
Most patients see Botox results lasting 3-4 months, though this can vary based on individual factors like muscle strength, metabolism, and treatment area. Some patients notice effects lasting up to 6 months with regular treatments.
Results typically begin appearing within 24-72 hours, with full effects visible within 7-10 days. The treated muscles gradually regain movement as the Botox naturally metabolizes, which is why we recommend maintenance treatments every 3-4 months.
Consistent treatment can actually help extend results over time, as the muscles learn to relax and may require less frequent touch-ups.
Yes, Botox is highly effective for TMJ disorders and jaw pain. By relaxing the masseter and temporalis muscles responsible for jaw clenching and grinding, Botox can provide significant relief from chronic jaw pain, headaches, and teeth grinding.
Many of our Brunswick patients are surprised to discover their persistent headaches, facial tension, or worn teeth stem from unconscious jaw clenching, especially during sleep. Botox injections into these overactive muscles can break the cycle of tension and pain.
Treatment not only provides therapeutic relief but also has the added benefit of slimming the jawline for a more refined facial appearance. Results for TMJ treatment often last longer than cosmetic applications, sometimes up to 6 months.
Your first appointment begins with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Kupetz evaluates your facial anatomy, discusses your concerns and goals, and explains the treatment process. He’ll identify the specific muscles causing your issues and map out injection sites.
The actual treatment takes 15-30 minutes and involves a series of small injections using ultra-fine needles. Most patients describe minimal discomfort, similar to a quick pinch. There’s no downtime required, and you can resume normal activities immediately.
You’ll receive post-treatment instructions, including avoiding lying down for 4 hours and refraining from vigorous exercise for 24 hours. Follow-up appointments can be scheduled to assess results and plan future treatments.
Side effects from Botox are typically minimal and temporary. The most common effects include slight bruising, swelling, or redness at injection sites, which usually resolve within a few hours to a couple of days.
Some patients may experience a mild headache or temporary weakness in nearby muscles, but these effects are rare when treatments are performed by experienced practitioners like Dr. Kupetz. Serious complications are extremely rare when Botox is administered by qualified medical professionals.
To minimize bruising risk, we recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen for a week before treatment, and limiting alcohol consumption 24 hours before and after your appointment. Dr. Kupetz will review all precautions during your consultation.
