You’ll walk out looking refreshed, not overdone. Juvederm works by replacing the hyaluronic acid your skin naturally loses over time, instantly plumping areas that have hollowed and smoothing lines that make you look tired or older than you feel.
The difference isn’t just in how you look—it’s in how you feel. Our patients consistently tell us they feel more confident in photos, more comfortable in social situations, and simply happier with what they see in the mirror each morning.
Unlike surgical procedures that require weeks of recovery, Juvederm treatments take 15-30 minutes with results you can see immediately. Most people return to their normal activities the same day, making it perfect for busy professionals in Rensselaer County who want dramatic improvement without disrupting their schedule.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been serving the Pittstown and greater Schenectady County community since 1988, building a reputation for excellence in both general and cosmetic dentistry. Our practice combines the personal attention of a family-owned business with the expertise that comes from over 30 years of experience.
What sets Dr. Kupetz apart is his understanding that every patient’s face is unique. He takes time to assess your individual features, discuss your goals, and create a treatment plan that enhances your natural beauty rather than changing who you are.
Located conveniently for residents throughout Rensselaer County, we offer comprehensive care that goes beyond just Juvederm treatments—ensuring you have a trusted healthcare partner for all your dental and aesthetic needs.
Your Juvederm journey begins with a thorough consultation where Dr. Kupetz examines your facial structure and discusses your specific concerns. He’ll explain which Juvederm formulation—whether Voluma for cheeks, Vollure for smile lines, or Volbella for lips—will best achieve your desired results.
During treatment, the injection sites are marked and a topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort. The Juvederm gel, which already contains lidocaine for pain relief, is carefully injected using fine needles. Dr. Kupetz uses precise techniques to ensure even distribution and natural-looking results.
The entire process typically takes 15-30 minutes depending on the areas treated. You’ll see immediate improvement, though final results develop over the following days as any minor swelling subsides. Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and quick the process is.

Dr. Kupetz offers the complete Juvederm collection, allowing him to address virtually any aging concern with precision. Juvederm Voluma adds volume to cheeks and jawline, creating lift and definition that can take years off your appearance. For smile lines and nasolabial folds, Juvederm Vollure provides smooth, natural correction that moves with your expressions.
Lip enhancement uses Juvederm Ultra or Volbella to add subtle volume and definition without the “overdone” look many patients fear. For fine lines around the mouth or under-eye hollowing, specialized formulations provide gentle correction that looks completely natural.
What makes treatment in Pittstown unique is our personalized approach. Rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, Dr. Kupetz considers factors like your facial structure, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. Many patients in Rensselaer County appreciate this thoughtful approach, especially those who work in professional settings where subtle enhancement is preferred over dramatic change.
Juvederm pricing varies based on the specific product used and the number of syringes needed to achieve your goals. During your consultation, Dr. Kupetz will provide a detailed cost estimate based on your individual treatment plan.
Most patients find Juvederm to be a cost-effective investment when compared to surgical alternatives or the cumulative cost of less effective treatments. We offer flexible payment options and participate in the Brilliant Distinctions rewards program, which provides rebates on future treatments.
It’s important to remember that choosing your provider based solely on price can be costly in the long run. Dr. Kupetz’s three decades of experience ensure you get optimal results that last, potentially requiring fewer touch-ups over time.
Results vary by product and treatment area, but most patients enjoy their Juvederm results for 6-18 months. Juvederm Voluma, used for cheek enhancement, can last up to two years due to its robust formulation and deeper placement. Lip treatments with Juvederm Ultra or Volbella typically last 6-12 months.
Areas with more muscle movement, like around the mouth, may metabolize the product slightly faster than areas with less movement, like the cheeks. Your individual metabolism, lifestyle factors, and the amount of product used also influence longevity.
Dr. Kupetz will discuss realistic expectations during your consultation and may recommend a maintenance schedule to help you maintain your results consistently. Many patients in the Pittstown area find that regular touch-ups actually extend the time between treatments as the skin maintains better structure.
Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable Juvederm treatment is. The product contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, which numbs the treatment area during injection. Dr. Kupetz also uses the finest needles available and advanced injection techniques to minimize discomfort.
You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites, but these effects typically resolve within a few days. Most patients return to work and normal activities immediately after treatment. Ice packs and over-the-counter pain relievers can help with any minor discomfort.
To minimize bruising, avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin, fish oil, and certain supplements for a week before treatment. Dr. Kupetz provides detailed pre- and post-treatment instructions to ensure the smoothest possible experience and optimal results.
Dr. Kupetz brings over 30 years of dental and facial anatomy expertise to every Juvederm treatment. His extensive knowledge of facial muscles, nerves, and tissue layers—gained through decades of dental practice—provides a significant advantage in achieving natural-looking results safely.
As a licensed dentist trained in facial aesthetics, Dr. Kupetz understands the complex relationships between different facial structures and how subtle changes can impact your overall appearance. This comprehensive understanding allows him to create treatment plans that enhance your natural features harmoniously.
We maintain strict safety protocols and use only FDA-approved products from authorized distributors. Dr. Kupetz regularly participates in continuing education to stay current with the latest techniques and safety standards in aesthetic medicine.
Yes, one of the significant advantages of hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm is that they can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if needed. This provides peace of mind for patients concerned about permanent changes or unexpected results.
However, in Dr. Kupetz’s experience, the need for reversal is extremely rare when treatment is performed by an experienced practitioner. Our conservative approach and thorough consultation process help ensure results align with your expectations from the start.
If adjustments are needed, they’re typically minor and can often be addressed with additional product rather than reversal. Dr. Kupetz’s goal is always to achieve results that look so natural, people notice you look refreshed but can’t pinpoint exactly what’s different.
Preparation is simple but important for optimal results. Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements including aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, and ginkgo for one week before treatment to minimize bruising risk. If you take prescribed blood thinners, consult with your prescribing physician before stopping.
Arrive with clean skin free of makeup in the treatment areas. Consider scheduling your appointment when you have a few days of lighter social commitments in case of minor swelling or bruising. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment as it can increase bruising risk.
Come prepared with questions and photos of results you like. Dr. Kupetz encourages open communication about your goals and concerns. Having realistic expectations and clear communication ensures the best possible outcome for your Juvederm treatment in Pittstown.
