What is it?
As the years roll by, the production of collagen and elastin, proteins that are vital for maintaining the structure and flexibility of the skin, naturally diminishes. This decrease in collagen and elastin production results in a gradual loss of skin tightness and suppleness. Consequently, crow's feet, named for their resemblance to a crow's foot, emerge. They can also originate from repeated squinting and smiling.
How is it treated?
The treatment for crow's feet by our medical practice's skincare professionals is determined by the severity of your condition. Prescription medications and topical creams may provide some improvement, but Botox or Dysport are generally the favored treatment for crow's feet. Injections are carefully applied into the skin to temporarily relax the facial muscles in the area, stopping muscle contractions that result in wrinkles.
