18 May Doing Away With Those Dreaded “Crow’s Feet”
The first signs of aging on the face are often those deep lines or wrinkles that appear in the outer corners of the eyes, known as crow’s feet, and the good news is yes, Botox can help.
Many women are horrified to find that crow’s feet can begin to peek through as early as the early 30’s; usually many years before you have even begun to explore your options in anti-aging treatments. The great news is that crow’s feet can be effectively minimized through a multitude of cosmetic options, all available to you at Dr. Parson’s Skin Center.
Botox
Botox remains to be the tried and true way to turn back the clock on fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. While this treatment was originally approved to treat frown lines around the mouth and worry lines on the forehead, the injections are equally effective on crow’s feet. Botox works through a botulinum A-based formula that effectively paralyzes facial muscles that lead to wrinkles by blocking nerve impulses to the muscles.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers, such as Restylane or Juvederm, contain hyaluronic acid that plumps and smoothes skin from the inside out. Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the skin, but the aging process results in a deficiency. When levels of hyaluronic acid decrease, the skin becomes dry and less elastic, leading to sagging and the appearance of fine lines, thus creating crow’s feet.
Laser Treatments
Laser skin resurfacing is used to remove outer skin cells, leaving a softer, smoother complexion underneath. One of the most popular laser treatments for crow’s feet is Fraxel, which uses a non-ablative laser that offers less damage to the skin and less downtime for the patient.
Chemical Peels / Microdermabrasion
Patients who want to see an improvement in crow’s feet can also choose chemical peels or Microdermabrasion. Alpha Hydroxy acids used for light chemical peels are used to remove the outermost skin layers, for a softer, smoother complexion.
