We offer both cosmetic and therapeutic Botox treatments tailored to Arlington residents’ specific needs. For cosmetic concerns, we address forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines while maintaining your natural expressions.
Our therapeutic applications target TMJ disorders, chronic headaches, teeth grinding, and excessive sweating. Many Dutchess County patients discover their jaw pain and facial aging are connected—addressing both simultaneously provides comprehensive relief.
We also offer complementary treatments like Juvederm for fuller lips and deeper lines. This integrated approach means you can address multiple concerns in one convenient Arlington location, with a provider who understands how facial treatments work together for optimal results.
Botox pricing in Arlington typically ranges from $10-15 per unit, with most treatment areas requiring 20-60 units depending on your specific needs and goals. Dr. Kupetz provides transparent pricing during your consultation, explaining exactly how many units you’ll need and why.
The total cost varies based on whether you’re treating one area like crow’s feet (usually 15-25 units) or multiple areas like forehead and frown lines (40-60 units total). Many patients find the investment worthwhile when they consider the months of relief from pain or improved confidence they gain.
We accept various payment methods and can discuss payment plans to make your treatment affordable. Insurance may cover therapeutic Botox for conditions like TMJ or chronic migraines, and we’re happy to help verify your benefits.
Dentists are actually ideal providers for Botox treatments because of our extensive training in facial anatomy, muscle function, and injection techniques. Dr. Kupetz’s dental background gives him a deeper understanding of how facial muscles interact with jaw function and oral health.
We routinely administer anesthetics and perform precise injections as part of our daily practice. This experience translates directly to Botox administration, often with less discomfort than you might experience elsewhere. Dr. Kupetz also understands how Botox affects bite, jaw alignment, and overall oral health.
Our 30+ years of experience means we’ve performed thousands of facial injections safely and effectively. The combination of medical training, anatomical expertise, and artistic skill makes dentists like Dr. Kupetz excellent choices for both cosmetic and therapeutic Botox treatments.
Botox results typically last 3-4 months regardless of climate, though individual factors affect longevity more than weather. In Arlington’s varied seasons, some patients notice their treatments lasting slightly longer during cooler months when facial muscles aren’t as active from squinting in bright sun.
Your metabolism, muscle strength, and activity level influence how quickly your body processes the Botox. Patients who exercise frequently or have very strong facial muscles may see results fade closer to the 3-month mark, while others enjoy effects for up to 5 months.
We track your response patterns and adjust timing recommendations accordingly. Many Arlington patients schedule maintenance appointments every 3.5 months to maintain consistent results, timing them around seasons or special events for optimal appearance year-round.
Yes, Botox is highly effective for TMJ-related pain and is one of our most successful therapeutic treatments. By relaxing the masseter and temporalis muscles that control jaw movement, Botox reduces the tension that causes TMJ symptoms like jaw pain, clicking, and headaches.
Many Arlington patients develop TMJ from stress-related teeth grinding or clenching, especially those with demanding commutes or high-pressure jobs. Botox interrupts this cycle by preventing the excessive muscle contractions that worsen TMJ symptoms and cause additional dental problems.
Treatment typically provides relief within a week, with maximum benefits appearing after two weeks. Most patients experience significant reduction in jaw pain, fewer headaches, and improved jaw function. The effects last 3-4 months, and many find their symptoms become less severe over time with regular treatments.
The Botox product itself is identical—the difference lies in the treatment goals and injection sites. Cosmetic Botox targets muscles that create wrinkles and fine lines, focusing on areas like the forehead, around the eyes, and between the brows for aesthetic improvement.
Medical or therapeutic Botox addresses functional problems like TMJ disorders, chronic migraines, excessive sweating, or muscle spasms. These treatments often require different injection sites and techniques, targeting deeper muscles or different areas entirely than cosmetic applications.
We often combine both approaches for Arlington patients, addressing TMJ pain while also treating the worry lines that stress creates. This comprehensive approach provides both functional relief and aesthetic benefits, giving you better overall results than treating each concern separately.
Preparation is minimal, but a few simple steps help ensure optimal results. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment and stop taking blood-thinning medications or supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, or fish oil for a week prior if medically safe to do so.
Come to your Arlington appointment with clean skin—no makeup, lotions, or skincare products on the treatment areas. Wear comfortable clothing and plan to avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours afterward. If you’re treating TMJ, avoid chewing gum or hard foods on treatment day.
We will review your medical history and current medications during consultation. Bring a list of any supplements you take, and mention if you’ve had Botox before and how you responded. This information helps us customize your treatment for the best possible results while ensuring your safety and comfort.
