How to Reduce Crow's Feet Without Surgery

Some age-related changes are more annoying than others. That’s especially true of crow’s feet, the wrinkles that develop at the corners of your eyes. These lines can make makeup application harder and alter the way you feel about your eyes, a key feature of your face.

The good news? Getting rid of crow’s feet can be quick and easy. There’s no need to go under the knife to smooth the delicate skin around your eyes. Elaine Phuah, DO, MBA, FACOI, offers Botox® and fillers here at Hanami Medspa in Fort Worth, Texas. With these ultra-quick, highly effective treatment options, you can kiss your crow’s feet goodbye.

Botox for crow’s feet

Botox is a leading treatment for the wrinkles at the corner of your eyes because it’s targeted, safe, effective, and convenient.

This FDA-approved treatment works by addressing the root cause of your crow’s feet. These wrinkles are called dynamic wrinkles because they develop as a result of repeated facial expressions. As you smile or squint, for example, the muscles at the outer corners of your eyes move. Because they move in the same way over and over again, your skin eventually starts to develop furrows there. 

Botox works by putting a stop to those continual muscle movements. By injecting the area with a tiny amount of Botox, Dr. Phuah can temporarily freeze the muscles that are responsible for your crow’s feet. That allows the skin above them to relax, smoothing the lines in the area and getting rid of your unwanted wrinkles.

Other crow’s feet treatment

If volume loss near your eyes is making your crow’s feet worse, Dr. Phuah can also apply a small amount of filler, another cosmetic injectable, to smooth the area. 

Both Botox and fillers are minimally invasive, no-downtime treatments. Once you and Dr. Phuah discuss your cosmetic goals and she tailors a treatment plan for you, the actual injection(s) take just minutes. 

People often call cosmetic injectables lunchtime procedures because they’re so convenient. You can pop into our office, then head back to wherever your day takes you. There’s no need to take any time off work or away from any other activities.

The results from Botox usually last several months, and fillers can last a year or more. Whenever you notice your crow’s feet creeping back in, you can come back and visit us for a quick touchup treatment.
