Hear from Our Customers
You want to look refreshed, not frozen. That’s exactly what properly administered Juvederm delivers—subtle improvements that make people wonder if you’ve been sleeping better or just got back from vacation.
The difference shows up in photos. Your confidence returns when you catch your reflection. You look like the best version of yourself, not someone else entirely.
Most patients see immediate improvement that continues developing over the following weeks. The results feel natural because hyaluronic acid already exists in your skin—we’re simply restoring what time has taken away.
Dr. Scott Kupetz brings years of facial anatomy expertise to every Juvederm treatment. His background in dentistry provides an intimate understanding of facial structure that translates directly to natural-looking aesthetic results.
Located in Dutchess County, our practice has served MacDonnell Heights residents who value quality over quick fixes. We’ve built our reputation on conservative approaches that enhance rather than alter.
Every treatment begins with understanding your goals, not pushing our agenda. You’ll never feel pressured into more than you want or need.
Your consultation comes first. We discuss your concerns, examine your facial structure, and create a treatment plan that fits your goals and budget. No surprises, no pressure.
Treatment day involves precise injections using ultra-fine needles. Most areas take 15-30 minutes. We use topical numbing and Juvederm’s built-in lidocaine to minimize discomfort.
You’ll see immediate improvement, though final results develop over 1-2 weeks as the product settles. Most patients return to normal activities the same day with only minor swelling or bruising.

We offer the complete Juvederm family of products, each designed for specific areas and concerns. Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus work beautifully for lip enhancement and smile lines. Juvederm Voluma provides midface lifting for cheek augmentation.
MacDonnell Heights residents appreciate our conservative approach to jawline contouring and under-eye treatment. We understand that Dutchess County professionals need results that look natural in boardrooms and social settings.
Every treatment includes a thorough consultation, the procedure itself, and follow-up care. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and remain available for any questions during your recovery period.
Duration varies significantly by treatment area and product type. Lip fillers typically last 6-9 months because this area experiences constant movement from talking, eating, and expressions.
Cheek and midface treatments using Juvederm Voluma can last 18-24 months since these areas move less and the product integrates deeply into tissue. Smile lines and nasolabial folds usually maintain results for 9-12 months.
Your individual metabolism, lifestyle, and the amount of product used all influence longevity. We’ll discuss realistic expectations during your consultation based on your specific treatment goals.
Juvederm uses hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your skin, making it highly biocompatible with minimal risk of allergic reactions. The Vycross technology in newer Juvederm products creates a smoother, longer-lasting result.
Unlike some fillers that can feel firm or unnatural, Juvederm maintains a soft, natural texture that moves with your facial expressions. The product also includes lidocaine for comfort during injection.
Juvederm offers different formulations for specific areas—something not all filler brands provide. This allows us to choose the exact product that will give you the best results for each treatment area.
Juvederm pricing depends on the number of syringes needed and which areas you’re treating. Most patients invest between $600-$1,200 per syringe, with lip treatments typically requiring 1-2 syringes and cheek augmentation needing 2-4 syringes.
We provide exact pricing during your consultation after assessing your specific needs. Many patients find that Juvederm offers better value than repeated Botox treatments since results last longer.
We offer financing options for treatments over $1,000 and occasionally run specials on combination treatments. The investment varies, but most patients feel the confidence boost and time savings justify the cost.
Most patients experience mild swelling and possible bruising that peaks within 24-48 hours and resolves within a week. Ice packs help manage initial swelling, and we provide detailed aftercare instructions.
Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications for 24 hours post-treatment. Most people return to work the same day, though some prefer scheduling treatments before weekends for maximum privacy during initial healing.
You can wear makeup after 24 hours and resume normal skincare routines within 48 hours. Results continue improving as swelling subsides and the product settles into its final position over 1-2 weeks.
Juvederm has an excellent safety profile with FDA approval for facial use. Serious complications are extremely rare when administered by qualified professionals. The hyaluronic acid base is identical to what your body produces naturally.
Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at injection sites. These typically resolve within a week. Rare complications can include infection, allergic reactions, or vascular compromise.
We minimize risks through proper technique, sterile procedures, and comprehensive medical history review. Our experience with facial anatomy reduces the likelihood of complications, and we’re equipped to handle any issues that might arise.
Product selection depends on your treatment area, desired outcome, and facial anatomy. Juvederm Ultra works well for subtle lip enhancement, while Ultra Plus provides more dramatic volume for deeper lines and fuller lips.
Juvederm Voluma excels at midface lifting and cheek augmentation because it’s designed to lift and support tissue. Juvederm Vollure targets moderate to severe facial wrinkles with natural movement.
During consultation, we assess your facial structure, skin thickness, and aesthetic goals to recommend the optimal product combination. Sometimes multiple products work together to achieve your desired outcome most effectively.
