Hear from Our Customers
You want to look like the best version of yourself, not someone else entirely. Juvederm dermal fillers give you that refreshed, well-rested appearance that makes people wonder what you’ve been doing differently.
The results speak for themselves. Smoother smile lines that don’t erase your personality. Fuller lips that still move naturally when you talk. Cheek enhancement that brings back the contours you had years ago, not the dramatic look you see on social media.
Most of our patients throughout Dutchess County tell us they feel more confident in photos and meetings. They stop avoiding certain angles or lighting. The subtle improvements make a noticeable difference in how they feel about their appearance, without anyone being able to pinpoint exactly what changed.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been serving the Dutchess County community with comprehensive dental and aesthetic services for years. His understanding of facial anatomy comes from extensive work with the intricate structures around your mouth, cheeks, and jawline.
This isn’t a side business or weekend hobby. Facial aesthetics requires precision, artistry, and deep knowledge of how different areas age and respond to treatment. Dr. Kupetz combines his medical background with specialized training in dermal fillers to deliver results that look natural and last.
Located in Brinckerhoff, our practice serves patients throughout Dutchess County and surrounding areas including Wappinger Falls, who want expert aesthetic dentistry care without traveling to Manhattan or larger cities for quality Juvederm treatments.
Your consultation comes first. Dr. Kupetz examines your facial structure, discusses your goals, and explains what Juvederm can and cannot accomplish. No pressure, no overselling – just honest assessment of what will work for your face and budget.
During treatment, we clean the injection sites and may apply numbing if needed. Juvederm contains lidocaine, so most patients find the process comfortable. The actual injections take 15-30 minutes depending on the areas being treated.
You’ll see immediate results, though some swelling is normal for the first day or two. Most patients return to work the same day. Dr. Kupetz provides specific aftercare instructions to optimize your results and minimize any temporary side effects. Follow-up appointments ensure you’re healing well and happy with your facial enhancement outcome.

Juvederm works well for multiple facial areas, each requiring different techniques and product formulations. Lip enhancement uses Juvederm Ultra or Volbella for natural fullness and definition. Cheek augmentation typically uses Juvederm Voluma for lifting and contouring that lasts up to two years.
Smile lines and nasolabial folds respond well to Juvederm Ultra Plus, softening these common signs of aging without eliminating natural facial expressions. Under-eye hollows can be treated with Juvederm Volbella for a more rested appearance, though this area requires particular expertise in facial anatomy.
In Dutchess County, many of our patients combine multiple areas during one appointment for comprehensive facial refreshing. Dr. Kupetz helps prioritize which areas will give you the most natural improvement within your budget and comfort level. Each dermal filler treatment is customized based on your facial structure, skin thickness, and aesthetic goals specific to your lifestyle in the Brinckerhoff area.
Juvederm pricing varies based on the number of syringes needed and treatment areas. Most patients need 1-2 syringes per area for optimal results. Lip enhancement typically requires 1 syringe, while cheek augmentation may need 2-3 syringes total.
Dr. Kupetz provides transparent pricing during your consultation based on your specific goals. The cost includes the product, injection expertise, and follow-up care. Many patients find Juvederm more cost-effective than repeated treatments with shorter-lasting alternatives or driving to NYC for similar services.
We offer payment plans and financing options to make treatments more accessible for Dutchess County residents. The investment typically pays for itself in increased confidence and the time saved on makeup and skincare routines trying to address the same concerns.
Results vary by location and individual metabolism. Lip treatments typically last 6-9 months because this area moves constantly throughout the day. Cheek enhancement with Juvederm Voluma can last 18-24 months since there’s less movement in this area.
Smile lines and nasolabial folds usually maintain improvement for 9-12 months. Under-eye treatments tend to last 12-15 months. Your age, lifestyle, and metabolism all influence how long results persist with any dermal filler treatment.
Most patients schedule touch-up appointments before complete dissolution occurs. This approach maintains consistent results and often requires less product than starting over completely. Dr. Kupetz tracks your treatment timeline to recommend optimal scheduling for maintenance based on your individual response.
Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Some temporary swelling and minor bruising at injection sites is normal, especially for lip treatments. This typically resolves within 24-48 hours for most people.
We recommend avoiding intense exercise, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications for 24 hours after treatment to minimize bruising. Ice can help reduce swelling, but don’t apply directly to the skin. Sleep with your head elevated the first night if you experience swelling.
You’ll see immediate results, but final outcomes appear after any swelling subsides. Most patients are thrilled with their appearance within 2-3 days. Dr. Kupetz provides detailed aftercare instructions and remains available for any questions during your recovery period, which is especially convenient for our local Brinckerhoff patients.
Juvederm is FDA-approved and has an excellent safety profile when administered by trained professionals. The hyaluronic acid formula is biocompatible and gradually absorbed by your body over time. Serious complications are rare with proper technique and sterile procedures.
Common temporary side effects include swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at injection sites. These typically resolve within a few days. Rare complications can include infection, asymmetry, or vascular complications, which is why choosing an experienced provider matters for your safety.
We use only authentic Juvederm products and follow strict safety protocols. Your medical history is reviewed during consultation to identify any factors that might increase risks. Emergency procedures are available in the unlikely event of complications, though most patients experience smooth, uneventful healing with their dermal filler treatments.
Yes, Juvederm can be dissolved using hyaluronidase enzyme if you’re unhappy with results or experience complications. This reversal process typically takes 24-48 hours to show full effects. However, dissolution is rarely necessary when treatments are performed by experienced practitioners.
The reversible nature of Juvederm makes it safer than permanent fillers or surgical procedures. If you want more volume after initial treatment, additional product can be added. If you want less, targeted dissolution can reduce volume in specific areas.
Dr. Kupetz takes a conservative approach, often starting with less product and building up to your desired results over multiple appointments. This method reduces the likelihood of needing reversal while ensuring you achieve the natural enhancement you’re seeking without the overdone look many patients fear.
We recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements for one week before treatment if medically safe to do so. This includes aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E. Stop drinking alcohol 24 hours before your appointment to minimize bruising risk.
Come to your appointment with clean skin, free of makeup in the treatment areas. Eat a light meal beforehand to prevent lightheadedness. If you have a history of cold sores and are getting lip treatment, antiviral medication may be recommended starting a few days prior.
Schedule your appointment when you can avoid major social or professional events for 2-3 days afterward, just in case you experience more swelling or bruising than expected. Dr. Kupetz provides a complete pre-treatment checklist during your consultation to ensure optimal results and minimal side effects for all our Dutchess County patients.
