Meet Your Queens Botox Specialist: Dr. Michael Paltiel, MD
Board-Certified Dermatologist with 17 Years of Experience
Johns Hopkins Training, Forest Hills Expertise Dr. Michael Paltiel is a board-certified dermatologist with 17 years of experience in medical and cosmetic dermatology. He completed his medical education at Johns Hopkins Medical School and his residency at the University of Maryland, bringing elite training to patients throughout Queens.
His approach to Botox centers on one principle: strategic injection placement by experienced and qualified board-certified practitioners. This precision-focused philosophy ensures patients leave looking refreshed, never frozen.
“We believe in a personalized and comprehensive philosophy,” says Dr. Paltiel. “Every patient has unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Our job is to enhance what makes you look like you.”
At Adult and Pediatric Dermatology, all cosmetic injections are performed by board-certified specialists who understand both the science and artistry behind natural-looking results.
What is Botox®? Understanding Wrinkle Relaxers
How Botox Smooths Wrinkles
Botox is an FDA-approved injectable treatment made from a purified form of botulinum toxin. It works by gently relaxing targeted facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, the lines formed from years of smiling, frowning, and squinting. When these overworked muscles relax, the overlying skin smooths out. The result is a more rested, youthful appearance without surgery or downtime.
Treatment Areas at Our Forest Hills Clinic
Dr. Paltiel and his team treat multiple areas with Botox injections: Forehead lines, frown lines (the "11s" between your brows), crow's feet around the eyes, lip flip for subtle lip enhancement, masseter (jaw muscle) for facial slimming, and trapezius muscles for neck and shoulder contouring. The practice also offers the Nefertiti Lift, a specialized technique that uses Botox to lift the lower face and address sagging and laxity along the jawline and neck.
Preventative Botox for Your 20s and 30s
Wondering if you're too young for Botox? Dr. Paltiel confirms that preventative treatments, sometimes called "Baby Botox," are appropriate for patients in their 20s and 30s. Starting early can help prevent deep lines from forming in the first place. "Is Botox a good option for forehead lines if I'm in my early 30s? Yes," confirms Dr. Paltiel.
Your Botox Options: Choosing the Right Neurotoxin in Queens
Neurotoxin Brands We Offer
Not all wrinkle relaxers are identical. At Adult and Pediatric Dermatology, we offer three neurotoxin options to match your specific needs:
Botox: The original and most recognized brand, trusted for consistent results and decades of clinical use.
Dysport: Known for a slightly faster onset, Dysport spreads naturally across larger treatment areas like the forehead.
Daxxify: The newest FDA-approved option, Daxxify can provide longer-lasting results for some patients, potentially extending time between treatments.
During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your facial anatomy and discuss which neurotoxin best fits your goals, lifestyle, and treatment history.
Medical Botox in Forest Hills: Beyond Cosmetic Treatment
Therapeutic Uses for TMJ, Migraines, and Hyperhidrosis
Botox offers relief for several medical conditions beyond wrinkle reduction. Dr. Paltiel confirms the practice treats all of the following:
TMJ and Teeth Grinding: Botox injections into the masseter muscle can relieve jaw tension, reduce grinding, and slim the lower face.
Chronic Migraines: For patients who experience frequent migraines, therapeutic Botox can help reduce headache frequency and intensity.
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis): Underarm Botox blocks the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands, providing months of relief from embarrassing perspiration.
If you’re interested in medical Botox for any of these conditions, our dermatologists can discuss treatment options during your consultation at our Queens office.

Your Botox Experience: What to Expect at Our Forest Hills Office
Before Your Appointment
Preparation is simple. Dr. Paltiel recommends taking zinc for one week prior to your Botox appointment, as this may help increase the longevity of your results. Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for several days before treatment to minimize bruising risk.
During Your Treatment
A typical Botox appointment takes approximately 15 minutes. Your provider will cleanse the treatment areas and use a fine needle to inject small, precise amounts of neurotoxin into targeted muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief pinch. No anesthesia is required, though we can apply a topical numbing cream for sensitive patients.
After Your Injections
Post-treatment care is straightforward. Dr. Paltiel advises patients to follow these guidelines: Avoid laying down for 4 hours after injections. Skip alcohol and strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Do not rub or massage the treated areas. You can return to work and normal activities immediately after leaving our Forest Hills clinic.
Results Timeline
You may notice initial softening within a few days, but full Botox results develop over time. Expect to see your complete results in up to 2 weeks. Results typically last 3 months before muscle activity gradually returns. The practice offers follow-up appointments at two weeks to assess your results and make any adjustments if needed.
