You’ll see the difference immediately. Smoother skin, fuller lips, defined contours—all without the downtime of surgery. Our Juvederm treatments restore what time takes away, using hyaluronic acid that your body naturally produces.
The results speak for themselves. Patients walk out looking refreshed, not overdone. Your friends will notice something different but won’t be able to pinpoint exactly what changed. That’s the mark of expertly administered Juvederm—enhancement that looks completely natural.
Most patients return to their normal activities the same day. No lengthy recovery, no dramatic changes that scream “work done.” Just you, looking like the best version of yourself.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been serving the Menands and greater Albany County community for over 30 years. Our practice combines comprehensive dental care with advanced cosmetic treatments, including Juvederm dermal fillers.
What sets us apart is our understanding that facial aesthetics extend beyond just teeth. We’re one of the few practices in the area offering both dental and facial rejuvenation services under one roof. This comprehensive approach means your smile and facial features work together harmoniously.
Patients choose us because we listen. We take time to understand your concerns and goals before recommending any treatment. Our approach is conservative and natural—never overdone, always professional.
Your Juvederm experience starts with a thorough consultation. Dr. Kupetz examines your facial structure, discusses your goals, and explains which Juvederm products will achieve the results you want. We’ll show you exactly where the injections will be placed and what to expect.
The treatment itself takes about 15-30 minutes. Using fine needles, Dr. Kupetz carefully injects the Juvederm gel into targeted areas. Most patients describe the sensation as minor pinpricks. The hyaluronic acid gel immediately adds volume and smooths lines.
You’ll see results right away, though optimal results appear within a few days as any minor swelling subsides. The hyaluronic acid attracts moisture to the treated areas, creating natural-looking volume that lasts 6-24 months depending on the specific Juvederm product used.

We offer the full spectrum of Juvederm treatments tailored to Albany County residents’ needs. Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus target moderate to severe facial wrinkles and nasolabial folds—those lines that run from your nose to the corners of your mouth.
For lip enhancement, Juvederm Volbella provides subtle volume and smooths vertical lip lines, while Ultra XC creates more dramatic fullness. Juvederm Voluma addresses age-related volume loss in the cheeks and midface, restoring the youthful contours that naturally diminish over time.
Living in the Capital District means dealing with harsh winters and changing seasons that can accelerate skin aging. We understand how local environmental factors affect your skin and adjust treatment plans accordingly. Our patients appreciate this personalized approach that considers their lifestyle and local climate conditions.
Juvederm pricing in the Menands area typically ranges from $600 to $1,200 per syringe, depending on the specific product used and treatment area. We provide transparent pricing during your consultation based on your individual needs.
Most patients need 1-2 syringes per treatment session, though this varies by person and desired results. We never oversell treatments—we recommend only what’s necessary to achieve your goals. Many patients find the investment worthwhile given the long-lasting results and the confidence boost they experience.
Payment plans and financing options are available to make treatments more accessible. Our office also participates in Allergan’s Brilliant Distinctions rewards program, which can reduce costs for future treatments.
Juvederm results typically last 6-24 months depending on the specific product used and treatment area. Juvederm Voluma, used for cheek enhancement, can last up to 2 years. Lip treatments with Juvederm Ultra usually last 6-12 months, while Volbella for fine lip lines may last up to 12 months.
Several factors affect longevity in our local climate. The Capital District’s seasonal changes and sun exposure can impact how long results last. We provide specific aftercare instructions to help maximize your investment, including sun protection recommendations particularly important during Adirondack summer activities.
Most patients schedule touch-up appointments every 9-12 months to maintain optimal results. Regular maintenance treatments often require less product than initial treatments, making long-term care more cost-effective.
Dr. Kupetz is extensively trained in facial anatomy and injection techniques, making him highly qualified to administer Juvederm treatments. His dental background provides deep understanding of facial structures, nerve pathways, and muscle function—critical knowledge for safe, effective filler placement.
Juvederm is FDA-approved and made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your body. This means allergic reactions are extremely rare. We use only authentic Juvederm products purchased directly from Allergan, ensuring quality and safety.
Our 30+ years of experience treating patients in the Albany County area speaks to our expertise and commitment to safety. Dr. Kupetz maintains current training in cosmetic injection techniques and we follow strict safety protocols. If you experience any concerns after treatment, our office provides immediate support and follow-up care.
Juvederm effectively treats multiple facial areas to address various aging concerns. The most popular treatments include nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines around the mouth, and lip enhancement for both volume and definition. Cheek augmentation with Juvederm Voluma restores youthful facial contours.
We also use Juvederm for under-eye hollows, though this requires specialized technique and experience. Jawline contouring and chin enhancement are increasingly popular treatments that create more defined facial structure without surgery.
During your consultation, Dr. Kupetz evaluates your facial structure and discusses which areas would benefit most from treatment. We often recommend a staged approach, treating one area at a time to ensure natural-looking results that enhance your overall appearance rather than creating dramatic changes.
Preparation for Juvederm treatment is minimal, which makes it convenient for busy Albany County residents. Avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil supplements for one week before treatment to minimize bruising risk. If you take prescription blood thinners, consult with us first.
Schedule your appointment when you don’t have important social or professional events for 24-48 hours afterward. While most patients have minimal swelling or bruising, it’s wise to allow time for any minor side effects to resolve. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment as it can increase bruising risk.
Come to your appointment with clean skin—no makeup on the treatment areas. We will cleanse the area before treatment, but starting with clean skin ensures optimal results. Bring a list of current medications and any questions about the procedure or aftercare.
Dr. Kupetz combines three decades of facial anatomy expertise with a conservative, natural approach to cosmetic enhancement. Unlike high-volume cosmetic clinics, we take time to understand each patient’s unique goals and facial structure before recommending treatment.
Our dual expertise in dentistry and cosmetic treatments means we understand how your smile, facial proportions, and overall appearance work together. This comprehensive perspective results in more harmonious, natural-looking results that enhance your entire face rather than just isolated areas.
Patients appreciate our honest approach—we’ll tell you if Juvederm isn’t the right solution for your concerns. Our established practice in the Albany County community means we’ve built lasting relationships with patients who trust our judgment and return for ongoing care. This long-term perspective ensures treatments that age gracefully with you.
