Your face looks refreshed, not different. That’s what happens when an experienced provider handles your Juvederm treatment.
Those nasolabial folds that made you look tired? Softened. Lips that lost volume over time? Restored to natural fullness. Cheeks that seemed flat? Now they have that subtle lift that makes your whole face look more youthful.
The difference is immediate but natural. People notice you look great without being able to pinpoint exactly what changed. That’s the goal with any good cosmetic treatment.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been providing cosmetic treatments to Albany County residents since 1988. His training at Fairleigh Dickinson College of Dental Medicine, combined with over 30 years of hands-on experience, means you’re working with someone who truly understands facial anatomy.
New Scotland patients choose our practice because we take time to understand what you actually want to achieve. Not every face needs the same treatment, and not every patient has the same goals.
We serve the entire Albany County area, from Guilderland to Delmar to New Scotland, with the same careful attention to natural-looking results that’s earned us a reputation throughout the Capital Region.
Your consultation comes first. Dr. Kupetz examines your face, discusses your concerns, and explains which Juvederm formulation would work best for your specific goals. No pressure, just information so you can make the right decision.
Treatment day starts with numbing the injection sites for comfort. Dr. Kupetz uses precise placement techniques to inject the hyaluronic acid gel exactly where it’s needed. The process typically takes 15-30 minutes depending on how many areas you’re treating.
Results are visible immediately, though final effects develop over a few days as any minor swelling subsides. Most Albany County patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is and how natural the results look.

We offer the complete range of Juvederm products because different areas of your face require different formulations. Juvederm Ultra works perfectly for lip enhancement and fine lines around the mouth. Juvederm Voluma is specifically designed for cheek lifting and mid-face contouring.
For New Scotland residents concerned about under-eye hollows, Juvederm Vollure provides gentle volume restoration without looking puffy. Jawline definition uses Juvederm Volux, which maintains its structure to create better facial contours.
Albany County patients appreciate that Dr. Kupetz explains why we recommend specific products for their treatment areas. It’s not one-size-fits-all – each Juvederm formulation has properties that make it better suited for certain parts of your face.
Duration varies significantly by treatment area and your individual metabolism. Lip treatments usually last 6-9 months because your mouth moves constantly throughout the day, which breaks down the filler faster.
Cheek enhancement with Juvederm Voluma can last 18-24 months since there’s less muscle movement in that area. Smile lines and nasolabial folds typically maintain results for 9-12 months, while jawline contouring often lasts 12-15 months.
Dr. Kupetz will give you realistic expectations during your consultation based on the specific areas being treated and factors like your age, skin condition, and lifestyle. The hyaluronic acid gradually absorbs into your body, so results fade naturally rather than disappearing suddenly.
Juvederm uses hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in your skin, making it biocompatible and reversible if needed. The different Juvederm formulations are specifically engineered for different facial areas – Ultra for lips, Voluma for cheeks, Vollure for fine lines.
The gel consistency creates smoother, more natural-looking results compared to some other fillers. It integrates well with your existing tissues and moves naturally with your facial expressions, so you don’t get that “frozen” look.
For Dr. Kupetz, the main advantage is predictability. After 30+ years of experience, he knows exactly how each Juvederm product will behave in different areas, which translates to more consistent results for New Scotland patients.
Pricing depends on the specific Juvederm product used, the number of syringes needed, and which areas you’re treating. Lip enhancement might require one syringe, while comprehensive cheek restoration could need two or three syringes.
We provide transparent pricing during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect. Most Albany County patients find the investment worthwhile considering how long results last compared to other cosmetic treatments.
Many patients start with one area to see how they respond to treatment, then add other areas over time. This spreads out the investment and lets you see results before committing to multiple treatment areas.
Most patients resume normal activities immediately after treatment. You might experience minor swelling or bruising at injection sites, but this typically resolves within 24-48 hours and can be covered with makeup.
We recommend avoiding intense exercise for 24 hours and sleeping with your head slightly elevated the first night to minimize swelling. Ice can be applied in 10-minute intervals if needed for comfort.
Many New Scotland patients schedule treatments on Friday afternoons to have the weekend for any minor swelling to subside, though plenty of people return to work the same day without issues.
Dr. Kupetz will examine your face and listen to your specific concerns and goals. He’ll explain which Juvederm products would work best for what you want to achieve and show you realistic expectations for results.
You’ll discuss your medical history, current medications, and any previous cosmetic treatments. Dr. Kupetz explains the injection process, potential side effects, and aftercare so you understand exactly what to expect.
The consultation is also your chance to ask questions and make sure you’re comfortable with the treatment plan. There’s no pressure to proceed immediately – many Albany County patients prefer to consider their options before scheduling treatment.
Yes, we often combine Juvederm with Botox for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Botox addresses dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, while Juvederm restores volume and smooths static lines and folds.
Many New Scotland patients find that combination treatments provide more complete results. For example, Botox around the eyes combined with Juvederm in the cheeks and lips creates a more balanced, youthful appearance.
Dr. Kupetz will discuss combination options during your consultation if they’re appropriate for your goals. Both treatments can often be done during the same appointment, which is convenient for busy Albany County residents.
