You want to look refreshed, not overdone. That’s exactly what happens when you get Juvederm done right. Your lips regain the fullness they had years ago. Those lines around your mouth soften without disappearing completely. Your cheeks get back some of that volume that makes your whole face look more balanced.
The difference is immediate, but it doesn’t scream “I had work done.” People notice you look rested, maybe ask if you’ve been on vacation. That’s the goal—looking like the best version of yourself, not like someone else entirely.
Most patients see results that last 6 to 12 months, depending on the treatment area and your body’s metabolism. You’re not signing up for monthly appointments or constant maintenance.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been providing dental and cosmetic services to Rensselaer County, NY since 1988. That’s three decades of understanding what works for patients in our community and what doesn’t.
Located in the heart of Rensselaer County, we’ve watched this area grow and change. We know the people here value quality work, honest communication, and results that make sense for their lifestyle. Whether you’re dealing with the stress of a demanding career or just want to feel confident in your appearance, we get it.
We’re one of the few practices in Rensselaer County offering both comprehensive dental care and advanced cosmetic treatments like Juvederm under one roof. That means you’re working with a provider who understands facial anatomy from a medical perspective, not just an aesthetic one.
First, we’ll sit down and talk about what you want to achieve. No pressure, no sales pitch—just an honest conversation about your goals and whether Juvederm makes sense for you. We’ll examine the areas you’re concerned about and explain exactly what we can and can’t accomplish.
During the treatment, we use a very fine needle to inject small amounts of Juvederm gel into the targeted areas. The product contains lidocaine, so most patients find the process more comfortable than they expected. We take our time, checking the results as we go, making sure everything looks natural and balanced.
The entire appointment typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. You’ll see results immediately, though there might be some minor swelling or redness that settles within a few days. Most patients go right back to their normal activities afterward—no downtime required.

We offer the full range of Juvederm treatments to address different concerns and treatment areas. Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus work well for moderate to severe smile lines and marionette lines. Juvederm Volbella is specifically designed for subtle lip enhancement and smoothing vertical lip lines.
For patients looking to restore cheek volume or improve facial contours, Juvederm Voluma provides longer-lasting results—up to two years in many cases. We can also address under-eye hollows, jawline definition, and chin augmentation depending on your specific needs.
In Rensselaer County, we see a lot of patients who work in demanding careers—whether that’s at RPI, in Albany’s government sector, or in the growing tech industry. They want treatments that fit into their busy schedules and deliver results that look professional and polished. That’s exactly what our Juvederm treatments provide.
Juvederm treatments in our Rensselaer County practice typically range from $600 to $1,200 per treatment session, depending on the areas treated and amount of product needed. Most patients need one to two syringes to achieve their desired results.
The exact cost depends on your specific goals and the type of Juvederm product we use. During your consultation, we’ll give you a clear breakdown of pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. We also participate in Allergan’s Brilliant Distinctions program, which can help reduce costs for future treatments.
Most Juvederm treatments last between 6 to 12 months, though this varies by treatment area and individual factors. Juvederm Voluma, used for cheek enhancement, can last up to two years. Areas with more movement, like the lips, tend to metabolize the product faster than less mobile areas.
Your age, metabolism, lifestyle factors, and the specific Juvederm product used all influence how long your results will last. During your consultation, we’ll discuss realistic expectations for your specific situation and help you plan for any touch-up treatments you might want down the road.
Juvederm is FDA-approved and has been used safely for over 15 years. The main ingredient is hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in your body, so allergic reactions are extremely rare. The most common side effects are temporary and include mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites.
These effects typically resolve within a few days to a week. More serious complications are very uncommon when treatments are performed by experienced providers. We’ll review your medical history during consultation to ensure Juvederm is appropriate for you, and we’re always available to address any concerns after your treatment.
When done correctly by an experienced provider, Juvederm should enhance your natural features, not change them dramatically. The key is using the right product in the right amounts and placing it precisely where it will create the most natural-looking improvement.
We take a conservative approach, especially for first-time patients. It’s always easier to add more product later than to correct an overdone result. Our goal is for people to notice you look refreshed and rested, not to guess what you’ve had done. With over 30 years of experience in facial anatomy and aesthetics, we understand how to achieve results that look like you—just better.
Absolutely. We specialize in treating patients with dental anxiety and have extensive experience helping nervous patients feel comfortable during cosmetic treatments. Juvederm injections are much less invasive than most dental procedures, and we can provide additional comfort measures if needed.
The needles used are very fine, and the Juvederm gel contains lidocaine for numbing. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. We’ll take as much time as you need to feel at ease, explain each step before we do it, and stop anytime you need a break. Your comfort is our priority.
You’ll see results from Juvederm immediately after your treatment. However, there may be some initial swelling that makes the results appear more dramatic than the final outcome. The full results become apparent once any swelling subsides, typically within 3 to 7 days.
Some patients experience minor bruising, which can be covered with makeup if needed. Most people return to work and normal activities right after their appointment. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and alcohol for the first 24 hours to minimize swelling and optimize your results.
