Hear from Our Customers
You want to look like yourself, just better. That’s exactly what our professional Botox treatment delivers when done right.
The results speak for themselves: smoother forehead lines, softer crow’s feet, and reduced frown lines that don’t interfere with your natural expressions. You’ll notice the difference in photos, but more importantly, you’ll feel more confident in meetings, social situations, and everyday interactions.
Most patients see initial results within 3-5 days, with full effects visible within two weeks. The treatment works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles that cause wrinkles, giving you a refreshed appearance that lasts 3-4 months on average.
Dr. Scott Kupetz brings years of medical training and hands-on experience to every Botox treatment. As a licensed dentist with extensive knowledge of facial anatomy, he understands the precise muscle structure and injection techniques needed for safe, effective results.
Located in Berlin, NY, Dr. Kupetz has been serving patients throughout Rensselaer County and the greater Capital District region. His medical background ensures that every treatment follows proper safety protocols and uses only FDA-approved products.
The difference lies in the details: understanding facial muscle interaction, knowing the right dosage for your specific needs, and having the medical expertise to handle any situation that might arise during treatment.
Your Botox treatment starts with a consultation where Dr. Kupetz evaluates your facial structure and discusses your goals. We’ll explain which areas will benefit most from treatment and what results you can realistically expect.
During the actual procedure, we inject small amounts of Botox into specific facial muscles using ultra-fine needles. The entire process typically takes 15-20 minutes, and most patients describe the sensation as a slight pinch rather than significant pain.
After treatment, you can return to your normal activities immediately. There’s no downtime required, though you’ll want to avoid rubbing the treated areas and lying down for the first few hours. Results begin appearing within 3-5 days and continue improving for up to two weeks.

We offer both cosmetic and medical Botox treatments tailored to your specific needs. Cosmetic applications include treating forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, and other facial wrinkles that develop over time.
For residents of Berlin and throughout Rensselaer County, the convenience of local treatment means no long drives to Albany or other distant locations. You can easily schedule appointments that work with your schedule, whether that’s during lunch breaks or weekend availability.
Medical Botox applications include treatment for chronic migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and jaw tension from teeth grinding. These treatments often provide significant relief for conditions that impact daily life, making them both cosmetic and functional improvements.
Botox pricing typically ranges from $10-15 per unit, with most treatment areas requiring 15-50 units depending on the size and severity of wrinkles. For example, treating crow’s feet might require 15-25 units per side, while forehead lines often need 10-30 units total.
The total cost depends on your specific treatment plan and goals. During your consultation, Dr. Kupetz will provide an exact quote based on the areas you want to address and the number of units needed for optimal results.
Most patients find that the investment pays off through increased confidence and the convenience of long-lasting results that typically require touch-ups only 3-4 times per year.
Dentists are uniquely qualified to perform Botox injections due to their extensive training in facial anatomy, injection techniques, and pain management. Dr. Kupetz’s medical background includes detailed study of facial muscles, nerve pathways, and proper injection protocols.
The safety profile of Botox is excellent when administered by trained medical professionals. As an FDA-approved treatment that’s been used safely for decades, the main considerations are proper dosage, correct injection sites, and sterile technique – all areas where medical training is essential.
Dentists often have more experience with facial injections than many other medical professionals, making them well-suited to provide safe, effective Botox treatments with natural-looking results.
Most patients see Botox results lasting 3-4 months, though this varies based on individual factors like metabolism, muscle strength, and the specific areas treated. Some people notice effects beginning to fade around the 3-month mark, while others maintain results for up to 5 months.
First-time patients often find that initial treatments may not last quite as long as subsequent ones, as the muscles gradually become trained to relax. Regular maintenance treatments can actually extend the duration of results over time.
The key is scheduling follow-up treatments before the effects completely wear off. This approach maintains consistent results and can help prevent deeper wrinkles from reforming between appointments.
Your consultation begins with a discussion of your concerns and goals, followed by a facial analysis where Dr. Kupetz examines your muscle movement and skin condition. We’ll explain which areas would benefit from treatment and what realistic results you can expect.
You’ll learn about the injection process, aftercare instructions, and timeline for seeing results. Dr. Kupetz will also review your medical history to ensure Botox is appropriate for your situation and discuss any potential side effects or contraindications.
Many patients appreciate having their questions answered thoroughly before committing to treatment. The consultation ensures you feel confident and informed about the process, costs, and expected outcomes before moving forward.
Yes, Botox has several FDA-approved medical applications beyond cosmetic use. It’s highly effective for treating chronic migraines, reducing both frequency and intensity of headaches for many patients who haven’t found relief through other methods.
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, responds very well to Botox treatment in areas like underarms, palms, and feet. The treatment blocks nerve signals that trigger sweat production, providing relief that typically lasts 6-12 months.
Botox can also help with jaw tension and teeth grinding (bruxism) by relaxing the masseter muscles. This not only reduces jaw pain and headaches but can also create a slimmer jawline appearance as an added cosmetic benefit.
Common side effects are typically mild and temporary, including slight redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites that usually resolves within a few hours to a few days. Some patients experience minor headaches immediately following treatment.
More serious side effects are rare when Botox is administered by qualified medical professionals like Dr. Kupetz. These might include temporary drooping of eyelids or eyebrows if the product migrates, which is why proper injection technique and dosage are crucial.
Most patients tolerate Botox very well with minimal to no side effects. Following post-treatment instructions – like avoiding rubbing the treated areas and staying upright for several hours – significantly reduces the risk of complications and ensures optimal results.
