You want to look like yourself, just better. That’s exactly what happens when Juvederm is done right. Your lips have the fullness they used to have. Those smile lines soften without erasing your expressions. Your cheeks regain the subtle volume that made you look rested and confident.
The difference shows up in how you feel when you catch yourself in the mirror. No one asks if you “had work done”—they just notice you look great. That’s because Juvederm works with your natural facial structure, not against it.
Results appear immediately and keep improving as any minor swelling settles over the first week. You’re looking at 6-12 months of feeling more like the version of yourself you remember.
Dr. Scott Kupetz brings medical precision to aesthetic treatments in Preston-Potter Hollow and throughout Rensselaer County. As a certified sedation dentist with cosmetic expertise, he understands facial anatomy in ways that matter for natural-looking results.
Most people don’t realize that very few dental practices in our area offer Juvederm treatments. Dr. Kupetz invested in this training because he saw how much his patients valued having these services available locally, without the drive to Albany or beyond.
Our combination of medical training, understanding of facial structure, and focus on patient comfort makes the difference between results you love and results you tolerate.
Your consultation comes first. Dr. Kupetz examines your facial structure and discusses your goals to determine which Juvederm product works best for your specific needs. Different formulations work better for different areas—lips need a different approach than cheeks or jawline.
The treatment itself takes 15-60 minutes depending on how many areas you’re addressing. We numb the injection sites for comfort, and each injection is quick and precise. You’ll see the results immediately, though final settling happens over the first week.
Most people return to their normal activities right after treatment. You’ll want to avoid intense exercise and heat exposure for the first 24 hours, but that’s about it. No recovery time, no time off work, no dramatic lifestyle changes.

We offer the full Juvederm collection, which means the right product for your specific goals. Juvederm Ultra XC for lip enhancement. Voluma for cheek volume and midface lift. Vollure for deeper smile lines. Volbella for subtle lip enhancement and under-eye hollows. Volux for jawline definition.
Preston-Potter Hollow and surrounding Rensselaer County communities have limited options for these treatments. Most people drive to Albany or further for aesthetic services, but that’s not necessary anymore. Having these treatments available locally means easier scheduling, familiar surroundings, and the convenience of staying close to home.
Our pricing runs $450-$750 per treatment area, which is competitive with larger metropolitan areas while offering the personal attention that comes with a smaller practice. Dr. Kupetz takes time to understand your goals rather than rushing through appointments.
Juvederm results typically last 6-12 months, depending on which product is used and the treatment area. Lip treatments with Juvederm Ultra XC usually last 6-9 months, while cheek treatments with Voluma can last up to a year or longer.
Your individual metabolism, lifestyle, and the specific area treated all affect longevity. People who exercise intensely or spend significant time in the sun may see results fade slightly faster. The good news is that touch-up treatments are usually smaller and less expensive than the initial treatment.
Dr. Kupetz will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific treatment plan during your consultation.
Juvederm is the #1 chosen dermal filler collection in the US, and there are good reasons for that. It’s made with a modified form of hyaluronic acid that integrates smoothly with your natural tissue and provides consistent, predictable results.
Compared to other fillers like Restylane, Juvederm tends to have a smoother consistency that many patients prefer, especially for lip treatments. The Juvederm collection also offers more specialized products for specific areas—like Volux specifically designed for jawline enhancement.
The main advantage is having multiple products in the same family, so if you decide to treat additional areas later, everything works together harmoniously. Dr. Kupetz can explain the specific differences based on your treatment goals.
Absolutely. Dr. Kupetz has extensive training in facial anatomy, which is crucial for safe and effective Juvederm treatments. Dentists actually have advantages when it comes to facial injectables because we work with facial muscles, nerves, and tissue structure every day.
Dr. Kupetz is also a certified sedation dentist, which means additional training in patient safety and comfort during procedures. We use only FDA-approved products and follow strict safety protocols for all treatments.
The key is choosing a provider who has proper training and experience, regardless of their primary specialty. Dr. Kupetz invested in comprehensive training specifically for aesthetic treatments because he wanted to offer these services safely and effectively to patients in Preston-Potter Hollow and throughout Rensselaer County.
Juvederm treatments at our practice range from $450-$750 per treatment area, which is competitive with Albany-area pricing while offering the convenience of staying local. The exact cost depends on which Juvederm product is used and how much is needed to achieve your goals.
Lip treatments typically require 1-2 syringes, while cheek treatments might need 2-4 syringes depending on the desired outcome. Dr. Kupetz provides clear pricing during your consultation so there are no surprises.
Many patients find that the time and travel costs saved by staying local make the overall value even better. Plus, if you need touch-ups or have questions after treatment, you’re not dealing with a long drive back to us.
Most people return to normal activities immediately after Juvederm treatment. You might have some minor swelling or redness at the injection sites, but this typically resolves within a few hours to a day.
For the first 24 hours, avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat (like saunas or hot yoga), and alcohol. These can increase swelling and potentially affect your results. After that, you’re back to your normal routine.
Some people experience minor bruising, especially with lip treatments. This is normal and fades within a few days. Dr. Kupetz provides specific aftercare instructions and is available if you have any concerns during the healing process. Being treated locally means easy access to follow-up care if needed.
Yes, many patients choose to address multiple areas during a single appointment. This is actually more efficient and often more cost-effective than separate visits. Common combinations include lips and smile lines, or cheeks and jawline enhancement.
Dr. Kupetz will assess your facial structure and discuss your priorities to create a treatment plan that addresses your main concerns. Sometimes it makes sense to start with one area and add others later, especially if you’re new to Juvederm treatments.
The advantage of working with someone who offers the complete Juvederm collection is that all your treatments work together harmoniously. Each product is designed to complement the others, so you get balanced, natural-looking results across all treated areas.
