How To Address Crow’s Feet With Botox® Injections

Botox® injections are a popular and effective method to reduce the appearance of crow’s feet. Crow’s feet, or wrinkles that form around the eyes when people smile can make you look older than you are. Botox® injections can help smooth out these wrinkles, so they are less noticeable. The doctors at Eye and LASIK Center can educate you on the advantages of using Botox injections to restore a youthful appearance.

What Can I Expect From My Botox® Appointment?

When receiving Botox® injections for crow’s feet, your doctor will use a small needle to inject tiny amounts of Botox® into specific areas around your eyes. The procedure takes only minutes and is relatively painless since the needles used are very fine. Afterward, you may experience slight redness or swelling in the treated area, but this usually goes away within 24 hours. The effects typically last 3 to 6 months but vary depending on the individual.

The effects of the treatment can be seen within two weeks, with full results visible in about 4 to 6 weeks. While Botox® injections are a safe and effective way to reduce crow’s feet, they should only be administered by a qualified healthcare professional. In addition, follow all post-treatment instructions your doctor provides in order to ensure the best results possible.

What Are Some Ways To Prevent the Development of Fine Lines and Wrinkles?

Prevention can reduce or delay the need for cosmetic injectables in the future. Drinking plenty of water and wearing sunscreen daily can help in keeping your skin hydrated and protected from sun damage which may contribute to wrinkles. Additionally, using a gentle eye cream specifically designed for the delicate skin around your eyes can help reduce puffiness and keep the area looking youthful. Everyone needs to understand the natural process of aging and how it can impact facial skin, but thanks to medications, facial treatments, and cosmetic injectables, many can delay the appearance of aging skin and restore a more youthful look.
