BOTOX® Treatment: Crow's Feet

The skin surrounding your eyes is extremely delicate and mobile in order to accommodate the movement of your eyelids and permit facial expressions such as squinting, laughing or smiling. These areas of skin are particularly susceptible to forming wrinkles because they have fewer oil glands than many other areas of your face. Thus the skin around your eyes is easily damaged and thus easily “pulled’ by the underlying muscles that control the opening and closing of the eyelids. Pulling the skin around the eyes can form crease or wrinkles to form, known as “Crow’s Feet”. Most patients having BOTOX® for Crow’s Feet find that within just 5-7 days after their BOTOX® injections, their Crow’s feet begin to soften and the skin surrounding the eyes begins to look smoother and more youthful, while still maintaining the ability to convey appropriate expressions.  These desirable effects of BOTOX® treatment for Crow’s Feet make BOTOX® Cosmetic a very popular treatment option around the eyes.
