Looking to reduce the appearance of pesky wrinkles around the eyes?

This treatment targets the orbicularis oculi muscles, relaxing them to smooth out existing wrinkles and prevent further deepening.

Book NowWhat Are Crow’s Feet and Why Do They Form?
Crow’s feet are caused by repeated facial movements such as smiling, laughing, and squinting. Over time, your skin loses collagen and elasticity, which makes these lines more visible – even when your face is at rest. As we age, the skin around the eyes becomes thinner and more prone to wrinkles, especially without proper sun protection or skin care.
How Botox for Crow’s Feet Works
Botox is a purified neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for crow’s feet by blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. By targeting the orbicularis oculi muscles around the eyes, Botox Cosmetic smooths out existing wrinkles and helps prevent new ones from forming. The result? A more refreshed and youthful appearance without surgery or downtime.
What to Expect During Botox Treatment for Crow’s Feet
At Skinly Aesthetics, the Botox procedure is quick and virtually painless:
- Consultation: Dr. Schwarzburg will evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
- The Procedure: Using ultra-fine needles, Botox is injected into key points around the eyes. The treatment lasts about 10-15 minutes, and most patients experience minimal discomfort – often described as small pinpricks.
- Post-Treatment: After the procedure, you can return to your normal activities immediately. Some minor redness or swelling may occur but typically subsides within an hour.
When Will You See the Results?
Initial results from Botox for crow’s feet begin to appear within 3-5 days, with full results visible by 10-14 days. You’ll notice smoother skin around the eyes, and the lines will become much less prominent. These results typically last for 3-4 months, after which follow-up treatments are recommended for maintenance.
How Many Units of Botox Do I Need for Crow’s Feet?
The exact number of Botox units required depends on the severity of your wrinkles, the strength of your facial muscles, and your personal goals. On average, most patients need 10-12 units per side to achieve optimal results, but Dr. Schwarzburg will customize the dosage during your consultation.
Dynamic vs. Static Wrinkles: What’s the Difference?
Crow’s feet can be either dynamic or static:
- Dynamic wrinkles only appear when your face moves (e.g., when you smile or squint). These are the wrinkles that Botox is most effective at treating.
- Static wrinkles remain visible even when your face is at rest and may require additional treatments like dermal fillers or laser therapy to achieve complete rejuvenation.
Complementary Treatments for Crow’s Feet
For patients with static wrinkles or deeper lines, Botox can be combined with other treatments for enhanced results:
- Dermal Fillers: Products like Juvederm or Restylane add volume to the area, helping to fill in deeper wrinkles.
- Laser Treatments: Procedures like Fraxel laser or RF microneedling stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity.
Aftercare Tips for Botox Crow’s Feet Treatment
To ensure the best results and minimize side effects:
- Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours.
- Stay upright for 4 hours post-treatment to prevent Botox from migrating to unintended areas.
- Refrain from strenuous exercise and avoid excessive heat exposure (like saunas) for 24 hours.
Any mild redness or swelling should subside within a few hours. Minor bruising may occur but can be easily concealed with makeup.
