You want to look like yourself, just better. That’s exactly what properly administered Juvederm delivers – subtle improvements that make people notice you’re glowing, not guessing what you had done.
The difference shows up in how you feel when you catch your reflection. More confident. More comfortable in photos. Ready for that presentation or dinner out without wondering if everyone’s staring at those lines that seemed to appear overnight.
Your results develop gradually over the first few days, settling into the natural enhancement you were hoping for. No dramatic change that screams “cosmetic work” – just you, looking refreshed and more like the version of yourself you remember.
Dr. Scott Kupetz brings medical precision to cosmetic treatments, combining his dental medical degree with specialized training in facial aesthetics. This background matters when you’re trusting someone with your face.
Located in Sand Lake, we serve patients throughout Rensselaer County who want expert Juvederm treatments without the drive to Albany. Our approach focuses on understanding your goals first, then creating a treatment plan that delivers natural-looking results.
We’ve built our reputation on conservative, skillful technique – the kind that leaves you looking refreshed rather than obviously treated. When your neighbors ask if you’ve been on vacation, you’ll know the treatment worked perfectly.
Your treatment starts with a thorough consultation where Dr. Kupetz evaluates your facial structure and discusses your aesthetic goals. This isn’t a sales pitch – it’s a medical assessment to determine the best approach for your unique features.
During treatment, we clean and numb the area for comfort. The Juvederm is then carefully injected using precise techniques to achieve natural-looking volume and smoothing. Most treatments take 15-30 minutes, depending on the areas being addressed.
You can return to normal activities immediately, though you might notice some minor swelling or redness that typically resolves within 24-48 hours. Results continue to improve over the first week as the filler settles naturally into place.

We offer the complete range of Juvederm treatments to address various concerns. Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus work excellently for lip enhancement and nasolabial folds, while Juvederm Voluma provides longer-lasting cheek and midface volume restoration.
For Sand Lake residents dealing with under-eye hollows, Juvederm Volbella offers gentle correction of tear troughs. Jawline definition and chin enhancement are achieved with Juvederm Volux, creating more structured facial contours without surgery.
Each treatment is customized based on your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Many patients in Rensselaer County choose to address multiple areas during a single visit, creating comprehensive facial rejuvenation that looks completely natural and proportioned.
Juvederm longevity depends on the specific product used and treatment area, typically lasting 6-18 months. Juvederm Ultra in the lips usually maintains results for 6-9 months, while Juvederm Voluma in the cheeks can last up to 18-24 months.
Your individual metabolism, lifestyle, and the area treated all influence how long results persist. Most Sand Lake patients find they want touch-up treatments every 9-12 months to maintain their preferred look.
The gradual fade means you never wake up looking dramatically different – the enhancement simply becomes less pronounced over time, allowing you to decide when you’re ready for your next treatment.
Juvederm is made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your skin, which makes it biocompatible and reversible if needed. Unlike some fillers, Juvederm has a smooth gel consistency that creates natural movement and expression.
The Juvederm family includes different formulations designed for specific areas – Ultra for lips, Voluma for cheeks, Volbella for fine lines. This variety allows Dr. Kupetz to choose the exact product that will give you the best results for each treatment area.
Other fillers like Restylane work similarly, but many patients prefer Juvederm’s smoother texture and longer-lasting results. During your consultation, we’ll explain why we recommend specific products for your treatment goals.
Juvederm pricing varies based on the number of syringes needed and which areas you’re treating. Most patients invest between $600-$1,200 per syringe, with lip treatments typically requiring 1 syringe and cheek enhancement needing 2-3 syringes.
We provide exact pricing during your consultation after evaluating your specific needs. Many Sand Lake patients find the cost comparable to other non-surgical treatments but with longer-lasting results than alternatives.
The investment makes sense when you consider the longevity – at 12-18 months of results, the monthly cost often equals less than many skincare products, but with dramatically more noticeable improvement.
Most patients describe Juvederm injections as brief pinching sensations rather than significant pain. We use topical numbing cream and the newest Juvederm formulations contain lidocaine for added comfort during treatment.
Recovery is minimal – you can return to work and normal activities immediately. Some patients experience minor swelling or redness that resolves within 24-48 hours. Avoiding intense exercise for 24 hours helps minimize any swelling.
The most “uncomfortable” part is often the anticipation. Most Sand Lake patients are surprised how quick and tolerable the actual treatment is, especially compared to their expectations beforehand.
When administered properly, Juvederm enhances your natural features rather than creating an obviously “filled” appearance. Our conservative approach focuses on subtle improvements that restore youthful volume and smooth lines naturally.
The key is choosing an experienced injector who understands facial anatomy and uses appropriate amounts of product. Overfilling creates that obvious “work done” look, while skillful technique creates results that simply make you look well-rested and refreshed.
Most patients find that people notice they look great but can’t pinpoint exactly what’s different. That’s the hallmark of expertly administered Juvederm – enhancement that looks like you, just better.
Good Juvederm candidates are adults with realistic expectations who want to address volume loss, wrinkles, or enhance facial features non-surgically. Most healthy individuals over 21 can safely receive Juvederm treatments.
You might not be suitable if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, have active skin infections in treatment areas, or certain autoimmune conditions. We review your medical history during consultation to ensure Juvederm is appropriate for you.
The best candidates understand that Juvederm creates enhancement, not perfection, and want natural-looking results. If you’re considering cosmetic improvements but aren’t ready for surgery, Juvederm often provides the subtle enhancement you’re seeking.
