There are several different treatments available to soften crows feet. Some of these options include Dysport, Botox, Xeomin, and Daxxify.
What Are Crow’s Feet? #
Crow’s Feet are thin lines around the eyes that develop as you age. They can appear as early as the mid-late 20s, but they become more prominent with time. The cause of these wrinkles is a loss of elasticity and repeated facial expressions that engage the muscles around the eye.
The skin loses collagen and elastin as you age, leading to deeper wrinkles. Skin treatments, particularly wrinkle relaxers, around the eyes can help reduce crows’ feet. This treatment will also help prevent new wrinkles from forming.
The right treatment will depend on your skin type and the severity of your crow’s feet.
Botox for Crow’s Feet #
Crow’s feet are wrinkles that appear on the outside of the eyes, and they can be a source of self-consciousness for some people. Fortunately, Botox can help to treat these wrinkles. The procedure takes less than 30 minutes. Afterward, you can return to work or enjoy the day as usual. But you must be careful not to rub your eyes immediately. If you do, the injections may move away from your skin. The effects of a Botox treatment for crow’s feet generally last for three to four months.
When injected, Botox works by blocking the nerve signal to muscles, decreasing muscle activity, which helps to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Some side effects of Botox treatments are mild, such as occasional bruising. However, the risk of serious complications is low.
In addition to reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, Botox is also a great way to combat excessive sweating and prevent migraines.
Dysport for Crow’s Feet #
Crow’s feet are fine lines and wrinkles on the outer corners of the eyes, which form when you make repeated facial expressions. They are cause by a reduction in the skin’s elasticity as you age. If left untreated, these lines can become permanent. To avoid this, you can consider Dysport, an injectable treatment that relaxes the muscles around your eyes.
The results of a Dysport injection are visible within a few days, and it can improve the appearance of the crow’s feet.
A Dysport injection works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a chemical that tells your muscles to contract, and this results in smoother skin.
Dysport is a good choice for treating crow’s feet and other wrinkles. Typically, you will need some units per side for a single treatment. Also, you will not need any downtime. After the procedure, you can return to your daily activities.
Aside from crow’s feet, Dysport is also helpful in treating glabella lines, or “number 11’s” as they are commonly known.
Xeomin for Crow’s Feet #
Xeomin is an injectable neuromodulator that can use to treat crow’s feet.
Crow’s feet are small lines that appear at the outer corners of the eyes. The most common cause of crow’s feet is muscle contractions. When you frown or smile or squint, the muscles around your eye contract.
One of the best ways to make yourself look younger is to prevent wrinkles from forming.
Although Xeomin can reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, it won’t completely cure them. Treatment will improve the appearance of crow’s feet for up to four months. To maintain the effect, you will need to get repeat treatments.
Using Daxxify for removal of thin lines around eyes #
Daxxify is an injectable treatment for wrinkles and crow’s feet. It’s also approved to treat frown lines between the eyebrows called glabellar lines, which are vertical creases between the brows.
A Daxxify treatment can administered in less than 20 minutes. Before starting any treatment, have a consultation with our Livio experts so we can assess your health and create a custom treatment plan.
Those at a higher risk for bruising at the injection site should avoid taking blood thinners, such as aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications.
During the treatment process, your practitioner will use a tiny needle to inject the Daxxify. Daxxify is a neuromodulator that blocks the signal from your nerves to your muscles, which causes contraction. Once injected, the muscle contracts less, and the wrinkles diminish, allowing the smoother, younger look of your face to last much longer. Daxxify can last up to twice as long as other toxins.
In addition to frown lines, Daxxify can be used to reduce sweating in the armpits, palms, and can treat crow’s feet. Unlike other neuromodulators, Daxxify is free of animal-based additives.
Daxxify’s duration of treatment is longer than that of other competitors. Usually, a patient should undergo treatment at least four times a year.
