You want to look refreshed, not different. Juvederm fillers restore volume where you’ve lost it and smooth lines where they’ve appeared, giving you back the face you remember – just with fewer years showing.
The results show up immediately. Your lips look fuller but natural. Your cheeks have that subtle lift that takes years off your appearance. Those deep smile lines soften without erasing your expressions or changing how you look when you smile.
Most of our Westmere patients see results lasting 6 to 18 months, depending on the treatment area. You’re not committing to anything permanent, but you’re investing in confidence that carries you through every meeting, every photo, every mirror you pass.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been serving patients in Westmere and throughout Albany County, NY for years, combining dental expertise with advanced aesthetic training. His understanding of facial anatomy gives him a significant advantage in creating natural-looking Juvederm results.
Located in Westmere, our practice has built a reputation among Schenectady County residents for conservative, artistic approaches to facial enhancement. Dr. Kupetz takes time during consultations to understand exactly what you want to achieve – and what you definitely don’t want.
You’re not just another appointment squeezed into a busy schedule. Each Juvederm treatment is customized based on your facial structure, skin type, and aesthetic goals. That attention to detail shows in results that look like you, just better.
Your Juvederm treatment starts with a detailed consultation where Dr. Kupetz evaluates your facial structure and discusses your specific goals. He’ll explain which Juvederm products work best for your needs and show you exactly where injections will be placed using a mirror.
During treatment, topical numbing cream ensures your comfort throughout the process. The actual Juvederm injections take just 15-30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Dr. Kupetz uses advanced injection techniques to minimize discomfort and reduce the risk of bruising.
You’ll see immediate improvement, though final results appear within a few days once any minor swelling subsides. Most of our Westmere patients return to work and normal activities the same day, following just a few simple aftercare instructions to optimize healing.

We offer the complete range of Juvederm products to address different facial areas and aesthetic concerns. Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus work beautifully for lip enhancement and moderate facial lines. Juvederm Voluma provides excellent cheek lifting and mid-face volume restoration that looks natural on Albany County faces.
For delicate areas like under-eye hollows and tear troughs, Juvederm Volbella offers subtle correction while maintaining natural movement. Deeper lines around the mouth, including nasolabial folds and marionette lines, respond well to Juvederm Vollure, which smooths wrinkles while preserving facial expressions.
Our Westmere patients appreciate having access to the complete Juvederm family without traveling to larger metropolitan areas. Each product is chosen specifically for your treatment areas and desired outcome, ensuring optimal results that complement your natural features rather than overwhelming them.
Juvederm results vary by product and treatment area, but you can expect 6-12 months for lip treatments and up to 24 months for cheek enhancement. Areas with more muscle movement, like around the mouth, typically see results lasting 6-9 months, while static areas maintain results longer.
Juvederm Voluma, used for cheek and mid-face enhancement, often lasts 18-24 months because these areas have less muscle activity that breaks down the product. Under-eye treatments with Volbella usually maintain results for 12-15 months in most of our Albany County patients.
Your individual metabolism, lifestyle factors, exercise routine, and the amount of product used all influence how long results last. Dr. Kupetz provides realistic timelines based on your specific treatment plan and facial anatomy during your consultation.
Juvederm uses hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your skin, making it biocompatible and completely reversible if needed. The Vycross technology in newer Juvederm products creates smoother, longer-lasting results compared to older filler formulations that some practices still use.
Unlike some fillers that can feel firm or create an unnatural appearance, Juvederm maintains natural facial movement and expressions. The different products in the Juvederm family are specifically designed for different areas and concerns, allowing Dr. Kupetz to choose the exact right product for your treatment goals.
Juvederm also has extensive clinical testing and FDA approval for specific facial areas, giving you confidence in both safety and effectiveness. The results tend to look more natural because the hyaluronic acid integrates seamlessly with your existing tissue structure.
Our Juvederm treatments typically range from $600-$1,200 per syringe in the Westmere area, depending on the specific product used and treatment complexity. Most patients need 1-2 syringes for optimal results, though this varies significantly based on your goals and current facial volume.
Lip enhancement often requires one syringe for natural-looking fullness, while cheek augmentation might need two syringes for balanced, symmetrical results. Treating multiple areas like lips and nasolabial folds typically requires 2-3 syringes total. Dr. Kupetz provides exact pricing during your consultation after evaluating your specific needs.
Many of our Albany County patients find the investment worthwhile considering the longevity of results and the confidence boost. We offer flexible payment options and occasionally run promotions for multiple-syringe treatments to make Juvederm more accessible.
Most patients describe Juvederm injections as brief pinching or pressure sensations rather than significant pain. Dr. Kupetz uses topical numbing cream before treatment and employs advanced injection techniques, including cannulas when appropriate, to maximize comfort throughout the process.
You might experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness for 24-48 hours after Juvederm treatment. These are normal inflammatory responses that indicate your body is accepting and integrating the product properly. Ice packs and over-the-counter pain relievers effectively manage any discomfort.
Bruising is possible but occurs in less than 30% of patients, and typically fades within 5-7 days when it does happen. Most of our Westmere patients return to work immediately after treatment, though you should avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications for 24 hours to minimize swelling.
Yes, all Juvederm treatments can be safely reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which dissolves hyaluronic acid fillers quickly and effectively. This reversibility gives you complete peace of mind knowing the treatment isn’t permanently altering your facial structure.
Reversal is rarely needed when Juvederm treatments are performed by experienced providers like Dr. Kupetz, but it’s reassuring to know the option exists if your preferences change. The reversal process takes just a few minutes and typically shows dramatic results within 24-48 hours.
Most patient concerns about Juvederm results involve wanting minor adjustments for symmetry or volume rather than complete reversal. Dr. Kupetz can often address these concerns with small touch-up treatments during your complimentary follow-up appointment two weeks after initial treatment.
You’ll see immediate improvement right after your Juvederm treatment, though final results become apparent within 2-7 days once any initial swelling completely subsides. The hyaluronic acid begins integrating with your natural tissue immediately, creating volume and smoothing lines.
Some treatment areas, particularly lips, may have more initial swelling that resolves within 2-3 days. Cheek treatments often show immediate lifting with minimal swelling, while under-eye treatments typically have the least initial swelling and show results almost immediately after injection.
We schedule a complimentary follow-up appointment 2-3 weeks after treatment to assess your final results and make any minor adjustments if needed. This follow-up ensures you achieve exactly the outcome you wanted from your Juvederm treatment in Westmere, NY.
