Hear from Our Customers
You want to look refreshed, not frozen. We understand the difference between enhancement and overdoing it. Our Juvederm treatments smooth away lines around your mouth, restore volume to thinning lips, and lift sagging cheeks—all while keeping you looking like you.
The results show up immediately, but they settle beautifully over the next two weeks. Most patients see their results last between 9 to 18 months, depending on the specific Juvederm formula used and the treatment area. You’re not just getting temporary improvement—you’re investing in confidence that lasts.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been serving Shandaken and Ulster County since 1988. As a graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson College of Dental Medicine, he brings both the precision of dentistry and the artistry of cosmetic enhancement to every Juvederm treatment.
What sets our practice apart is the combination of experience and education. Dr. Kupetz regularly attends advanced training courses to stay current with the latest injection techniques and safety protocols. Our family-owned practice means you get personal attention, not assembly-line treatment.
When you’re considering Juvederm in Shandaken, NY, you want someone who understands facial anatomy inside and out. That’s exactly what you get with our practice.
Your Juvederm treatment starts with a thorough consultation where Dr. Kupetz evaluates your facial structure and discusses your goals. He’ll explain exactly which Juvederm formula works best for your specific concerns—whether that’s lip enhancement, cheek volume, or smoothing smile lines.
The actual injection process typically takes 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Dr. Kupetz uses precise injection techniques to place the hyaluronic acid gel exactly where it’s needed. Most Juvederm formulas include lidocaine for comfort during the procedure.
You’ll see results immediately, though the final outcome develops over the next two weeks as any minor swelling subsides and the gel settles naturally. There’s no downtime required—most patients return to their normal activities right after treatment.

Not all Juvederm treatments are the same. We offer different formulations designed for specific areas and concerns. Juvederm Ultra XC works beautifully for lip augmentation, while Voluma XC is specifically designed for cheek enhancement and can last up to two years.
For patients in Shandaken and throughout Ulster County, this means getting treatment that’s actually tailored to what you want to achieve. Whether you’re looking to soften nasolabial folds, enhance your jawline, or restore volume under your eyes, there’s a Juvederm formula designed for that specific purpose.
Dr. Kupetz takes the time to match the right product to your anatomy and goals. This isn’t about using whatever’s convenient—it’s about using what works best for you.
Juvederm pricing varies based on the specific formula used and the number of syringes needed for your treatment goals. In the Hudson Valley region, most patients can expect to invest between $600 to $1,200 per syringe.
During your consultation, Dr. Kupetz will provide an exact quote based on your specific treatment plan. Many patients find that because Juvederm results last 9 to 18 months, the cost per month is quite reasonable compared to other cosmetic treatments. We also offer financing options to make treatment more accessible.
Juvederm is FDA-approved and has an excellent safety profile when administered by an experienced injector like Dr. Kupetz. The hyaluronic acid used in Juvederm is a substance that naturally occurs in your body, which minimizes the risk of allergic reactions.
Most patients experience only minor side effects like temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. These typically resolve within a few days. Dr. Kupetz uses proper injection techniques and maintains strict safety protocols to minimize any risks. If you’re ever unsatisfied with results, hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
Results vary depending on the specific Juvederm formula and treatment area. Lip treatments with Juvederm Ultra XC typically last 9 to 12 months, while cheek augmentation with Voluma XC can last up to two years.
Areas with more muscle movement, like around the mouth, tend to metabolize the filler more quickly than areas with less movement. Your individual metabolism, lifestyle factors, and the amount of product used also influence longevity. Dr. Kupetz will give you realistic expectations for your specific treatment during your consultation.
Juvederm is made with a specific type of cross-linked hyaluronic acid that creates a smooth, gel-like consistency. This makes it particularly effective for creating natural-looking results, especially in areas like the lips where texture matters.
Compared to other fillers like Restylane, Juvederm tends to have a smoother consistency and may integrate more naturally with your facial tissues. The Juvederm family includes multiple formulations designed for specific areas—from thin consistency products for fine lines to robust formulas for deep volume restoration. Dr. Kupetz will recommend the best option based on your specific needs and anatomy.
Having both dental and cosmetic services available in one practice is actually an advantage. Dr. Kupetz can coordinate your Juvederm treatments with any dental work you need, ensuring optimal timing and results.
If you’re planning dental procedures that might affect your lip or facial structure, it’s often best to complete those first, then enhance with Juvederm. However, minor dental work typically doesn’t interfere with filler treatments. During your consultation, Dr. Kupetz will create a treatment plan that addresses both your dental health and cosmetic goals in the right sequence.
Preparation is simple but important for optimal results. Avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for about a week before treatment, unless medically necessary. Also avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior, as these can increase bruising risk.
Come to your appointment with a clean face—no makeup in the treatment areas. If you have a history of cold sores and are getting lip injections, Dr. Kupetz may recommend antiviral medication beforehand. Most importantly, have realistic expectations and be prepared to discuss your goals openly. The consultation is just as important as the actual treatment for achieving results you’ll love.
