Crow's feet are the fine lines and wrinkles found around a person's eyes. They usually branch out horizontally from the eye toward the ear. Treatments for correcting crow's feet may vary; skin creams, injections, or other solutions will be advocated by different physicians.
Read on to discover what crow's feet solution is best for you.
Crow's feet causes
Crow's feet are often caused by repetitive squinting; as facial muscles cause the tissue to fold, lines become 'etched' in the skin. Like other facial lines, crow's feet may be partly caused by sun damage and other environmental factors.

Crow's feet treatment
Several non-surgical procedures are recommended routinely on RealSelf.com to reduce the appearance of crow's feet. Injections of Botox are a common application for this issue. Botox is often recommended to minimize the muscle contractions which are causing the skin to wrinkle.
To further conceal the wrinkles, some doctors may recommend using a dermal filler, chemical peel, or laser procedure as well.
If possible, ask to see your physician's before-and-gallery to ascertain the effectiveness of the treatment they advocate.
