How do I choose between different wrinkle treatments for crow's feet?

Crow's feet cannot be removed with any type of surgery such as a face-lift or blepharoplasty.

In our opinion, the best treatment for crow’s feet is Botox, which is a very safe and effective treatment; however, it does have to be repeated every four to six months.

Laser resurfacing and chemical peels tend to leave a white area at the treated sites; in this case it is around the eyelids. Hypo-pigmentation and hyper-pigmentation is unacceptable, for darker skinned individuals.
