The DocinthePocket program is ready, thanks to everyone who expressed interest.

Face, neck, and decolletage(upper chest) rejuvenation mesotherapy is now available.
Specially formulated Juvederm or Restylane is used for this treatment. Many small injections more superficially in the skin increase the collagen and water content of the tissue, improve texture and reduce wrinkles for 6-12 months. There are often a few small bruises from this treatment.
The cost is $450 for the first syringe, $400 for subsequent syringes on same visit. Temples, cheeks and upper lip require 1/2-1.5 syringes, neck 1-2 syringes, and chest 1-3 syringes.
Also very helpful for the chest is the Decollette pad available through Calvet Cosmetics (or Amazon). It reduces or eliminates sleep-related chest wrinkles for around $25!

Botox® and Dysport®
Botox® and the new similar product, Dysport®, prevent or soften lines on the forehead and around the eyes, reduce aging around the mouth, and can give a brow lift effect. These medications can also reduce sweating from the underarms, treat headaches, and relieve neck pain. Whether for cosmetic or medical indications, the procedure is safe and cost-effective. Botox® and Dysport® are used by Dr. Foster in a strictly sterile fashion and according to manufacturer specifications.
Injectable Dermal Fillers
Restylane®, Perlane®, and Juvederm®
These products address changes associated with the aging face by adding volume where it has been lost, improving contours and softening wrinkles. The lines from the nose to the mouth (nasolabial folds) and mouth to the chin ("marionette" lines) are commonly treated, as are the lips and cheeks. Hands and earlobes can also be treated to soften the effects of aging. All fillers are FDA-approved materials and are used in a strictly sterile fashion. Bruising and swelling are more common than with Botox®, please see the FAQ page for more information.
