You’ll notice the difference immediately—smoother skin, fuller lips, and restored facial volume that looks completely natural. Your friends will ask what you’ve been doing differently, but they won’t be able to pinpoint exactly what changed.
The results speak for themselves. Most patients see improvement for up to 13 months, giving you long-lasting confidence without the need for frequent touch-ups. You can return to your normal activities the same day, with minimal swelling that typically resolves within 24-48 hours.
This isn’t about dramatic transformation—it’s about looking like the best version of yourself. The hyaluronic acid-based formula integrates seamlessly with your natural tissue, providing volume and smoothness exactly where you need it most.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been serving patients throughout Dutchess County, Albany County, and surrounding areas since 1988. Our practice has built a reputation for making even the most anxious patients feel comfortable and confident about their treatment decisions.
What sets our practice apart is understanding that many people feel nervous about aesthetic procedures. We specialize in creating a calm, supportive environment where you can ask questions and feel completely informed before making any decisions.
Our state-of-the-art facility maintains the highest safety standards, and we take time with each consultation to understand your specific goals and concerns. You’re not just another appointment—you’re working with a practitioner who has helped thousands of patients achieve natural-looking results over more than three decades.
Your journey starts with a thorough consultation where we discuss your goals and examine the areas you’d like to address. We’ll explain exactly what to expect, answer your questions, and create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs and timeline.
During the treatment, we use the finest needles and proven techniques to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure rather than pain. The entire process typically takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
After your treatment, you’ll receive specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results. We schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your progress and address any questions that arise during your healing process. You’ll see initial results immediately, with full effects visible within two weeks as any minor swelling subsides.

Our Juvederm treatments address multiple areas of concern, from subtle lip enhancement to comprehensive facial contouring. We offer the complete range of Juvederm products, each specifically formulated for different areas and treatment goals.
For residents of Mariaville Lake and throughout Schenectady County, we understand the importance of looking professional while maintaining a natural appearance. Whether you work in Albany’s government sector or commute to the Capital Region, our treatments are designed to enhance your confidence without drawing unwanted attention.
We also recognize that many patients in our area value discretion and personalized care. That’s why we offer flexible scheduling options and take the time needed for each consultation and treatment. Our goal is ensuring you feel completely comfortable with your decision and thrilled with your results.
Juvederm results typically last between 9-15 months, depending on the specific product used and the treatment area. Lip treatments generally require touch-ups sooner than cheek or jawline enhancements due to the constant movement in that area.
The longevity of your results also depends on your individual metabolism, lifestyle factors, and the amount of product used during your initial treatment. Most of our Mariaville Lake patients find that scheduling maintenance treatments every 12-14 months helps them maintain their desired appearance consistently.
We’ll discuss realistic expectations for your specific situation during your consultation, and many patients are pleasantly surprised by how long their results actually last compared to their initial concerns about frequent treatments.
Juvederm is made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in your skin, making it highly biocompatible with minimal risk of allergic reactions. Unlike some other fillers, Juvederm has FDA approval for multiple facial areas and has been extensively studied for both safety and effectiveness.
The manufacturing process creates a smooth, cohesive gel that integrates naturally with your tissue, providing results that look and feel natural. Many other fillers can create a lumpy or uneven appearance, but Juvederm’s formulation minimizes this risk when injected by an experienced practitioner.
Additionally, Juvederm treatments are reversible. If you’re not satisfied with your results or experience any complications, we can use an enzyme called hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler, returning your appearance to its pre-treatment state.
Most patients describe Juvederm injections as mild discomfort rather than actual pain. The needles we use are very fine, and many Juvederm products contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that helps minimize sensation during and after treatment.
For patients who are particularly anxious about discomfort, we offer additional numbing options including topical anesthetic cream applied before treatment. Our experience with nervous patients means we take extra time to ensure your comfort throughout the entire process.
After treatment, you might experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites. This is completely normal and typically resolves within 24-48 hours. Most patients are able to return to work and normal activities immediately after their appointment, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for the first day.
Juvederm pricing varies based on the specific product used, the number of syringes needed, and the areas being treated. During your consultation, we provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges after your treatment.
We understand that aesthetic treatments are an investment, which is why we offer various payment options including financing plans that can make your treatment more affordable. Many patients find that the long-lasting results make Juvederm cost-effective compared to other aesthetic options.
Insurance typically doesn’t cover cosmetic Juvederm treatments, but we’re happy to discuss payment plans and help you find an option that fits your budget. We believe everyone deserves to feel confident about their appearance, and we work with patients to make that possible.
Most healthy adults over 21 are good candidates for Juvederm treatments. The best candidates are those with realistic expectations who want to address specific concerns like lip volume, nasolabial folds, or cheek volume loss without undergoing surgery.
You might not be a candidate if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, have active skin infections in the treatment area, or have certain autoimmune conditions. We also recommend waiting if you’ve recently had dental work or other facial procedures in the treatment area.
During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history, examine the areas you’d like to treat, and discuss whether Juvederm is the right choice for your goals. Sometimes we recommend combining treatments or suggest alternative approaches that might better suit your needs and timeline.
Before your treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain supplements for at least a week, as these can increase bruising risk. We’ll provide you with a complete list of medications and supplements to avoid during your consultation.
After treatment, avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for at least 6 hours. Skip intense workouts, saunas, and excessive sun exposure for 24-48 hours to minimize swelling and ensure proper healing. Also avoid alcohol for the first day, as it can increase swelling and interfere with the healing process.
Most importantly, follow the specific aftercare instructions we provide, which are tailored to your treatment areas and individual needs. If you have any concerns during your recovery, don’t hesitate to contact our office—we’re here to support you throughout the entire process.
