Crow’s feet—the fine lines that form around the outer corners of the eyes—are often one of the first signs of aging. These wrinkles develop due to repetitive facial movements, sun exposure, and a natural decrease in collagen and elastin over time. Fortunately, injectables offer an effective and minimally invasive way to smooth these lines and rejuvenate the eye area. At Cosmetic Surgery Associates in Washington, DC, we provide expert treatments using Botox®, Dysport®, and dermal fillers like Juvederm® and Restylane® to help patients achieve a refreshed, youthful look.
What Are Crow’s Feet?
Crow’s feet are small wrinkles that appear around the outer edges of the eyes, typically due to repeated facial expressions such as smiling and squinting. The skin in this area is particularly delicate and prone to early aging. Factors like UV exposure, dehydration, and loss of skin elasticity can further contribute to the development of these fine lines. Injectable treatments can effectively soften crow’s feet and restore a smoother, more youthful eye appearance.
Top Injectables for Treating Crow’s Feet
Botox®
Botox is one of the most well-known and trusted treatments for crow’s feet. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, preventing them from deepening over time. Botox is FDA-approved for crow’s feet treatment and provides visible results within a few days, lasting about three to four months. Patients love its ability to smooth fine lines while maintaining natural facial expressions.
Dysport®
Dysport is a similar neurotoxin that also relaxes the underlying muscles causing wrinkles. It has a slightly faster onset than Botox, often showing results within 24 to 48 hours. Dysport spreads more evenly, making it a preferred choice for patients who want a softer, natural effect. It is an excellent alternative for those who may not have responded as well to Botox in the past.
Dermal Fillers (Juvederm®, Restylane®)
While neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport target muscle movement, dermal fillers add volume to the skin, helping to smooth deeper wrinkles and fine lines. Juvederm and Restylane, both hyaluronic acid-based fillers, plump the skin and provide hydration, enhancing the results of Botox or Dysport. These fillers are particularly useful for patients with more prominent wrinkles or hollowness around the eyes.
