Botox or resurfacing for non-surgical treatment of crows feet
There are three choices: surgery, botulinum toxin, or resurfacing. There also is the promise of a filler for the crows feet on the horizon, but right now that does not exist. And I personally think it will not be a major option.
Botulinum toxin is hands down the best option. Botox or dysport allow effective management, delays progression, and hopefully remodels wrinkles as well. No down time, minimal risk of bruising, relatively cheap, and great natural results. Right now my office uses...

Smoothing crows feet
The squint lines around the eyes, or crows feet are due to muscle contraction and skin deflation. The current best treatment are the nonsurgical fillers.
Botox and Dysport actually weaken the muscle animation to help smooth the wrinkles in that area. For very deep lines, HA fillers can be used to treat periocular and cheek areas to increase volume in the skin wrinkles.
Prior to an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty), Botox is helpful to reduce the crows feet. It can facilitate healing by...

Botox for non-surgical method for crows feet
BOTOX injections for crowsfeet are injected superficially to reduce the dynamic motion in the lateral canthal region. If the creases are unusually deep, a filler might be injected into these creases at the same time or a week following the BOTOX injections.

Botox best for crows feet
Botox works wonders for crows feet that are caused by the active muscles around the eye that contract with squinting and smiling. If you temporarily weaken the muscles with Botox the lines soften over time. If you have really deep lines some careful application of a filler may improve them even more.

Best treatment for Crow's Feet is botulinum toxin
Unequivocally, the best treatment for the lines that radiate out from the corners of the eyes, referred to as crow's feet, is Botox or Dysport. Laser resurfacing can be done, but as the lines are created by muscle movement, the lines come back after the laser wound heals. A combination of Botox or Dysport, first, then laser resurfacing can be done so that the wound heals on a more relaxed surface without the repetitive wrinkling of the skin that occurs with muscle movement. The lower...

Best treatment for crows feet
It is important to understand there are 2 components to crows feet, one is the muscles that surround the eye and are responsible for squinting. These can be quieted completely with Botox or Dysport.
The other component of crows feet are the smile muscles, which cannot be quieted without affecting the lower face expressions. Even babies have crows feet when they smile.
As we age, the bones of the upper face shrink, which makes the skin in the area redundant and sag. This accentuates...

Crows Feet are Fixed With Botox
Crows feet are caused by loss of elasticity in the skin overlying the obicularis oculi or eye closure muscle. Therefore when the muscle contracts the inelastic skin wrinkles. Fortunately paralyzing the lateral part of the muscle doesn't affect closure of the eye and will get rid of those crow's feet. So Botox away!!

Botulinum toxin type A is the only treatment for Crow's Feet
There really is no treatment for crow's feet other than Botox or Dysport (both available versions of botulinum toxin type A). In addition, Botox/ Dysport are temporary treatments, lasting 3-4 months in most cases; there is some benefit in repeat usage which can lead to lessening of the lines over time. Surgical approaches have not been very successful in addressing this problem. As they say in Ireland, "Agus sin sceal eile".

A few things to consider
Botox or Dysport are quick, easy, and really, non-invasive. This works great. Other options include chemical peels (several to choose from), CO2 Laser, or other skin re-surfacing procedures (like Coblation). The peels and skin resurfacing procedures tend to have down time and recovery, but provides longer lasting results.

Botox is best for crow's feet
In most cases, Botox Cosmetic or Dysport is best for crow's feet. This is often superior to surgical intervention as well. When the muscle around your eyes contract, the crow's feet appear. If you paralyze the muscle with Botox or Dysport, then the lines show significant improvement. Good luck

The best treatment for crow's feet is botulinum toxin
Botox or Dysport are the best products for treating crow's feet. They are both a type of botulinum toxin that temporarily weakens the muscles causing the crow's feet with results lasting 3 to 6 months.
Fillers do not work well in that area due to the risk of lumpiness. Lasers can also be used but the crow's feet will come back since they are the result of smiling. I hope this information helps.

Botox For Crows Feet
I just noticed that you have kind of droopy eyelids. This puts you at risk of getting complete drooping of an eyelid after botox injections. Make sure you point it out to your doctor.
Botox is the best non surgical treatment for crows feet.

BOTOX works well for minimizing your crow's feet.
Your crow's feet will be no match for a BOTOX Cosmetic treatment. You'll get around 4 months of improvement with a treatment. I bet you didn't know that BOTOX Cosmetic is manufactured in Ireland.

Botox for Crowsfeet
Botox of dysport is the treatment of choice for the lines around the eyes. Botox will help paralyze the muscles that create the fine lines around your eyes.
The result are good usually for 4 months and I would recommend a maintenance routine to prevent them from coming back.

Botox vs browlift or cheeklift for crow's feet
The easiest way to reduce crow's feet temporarily is with botulinum toxin (ie Botox).
For a more permanent solution, many patients opt for a lateral browlift with or without a cheeklift. In our practice we prefer the USIC cheeklift for this purpose. These procedures actually strategically reduce skin from the side of the eye area through well concealed incisions.

Botox and Skin Care
The best method for treating crow's feet is Botox or Dyport. However in the long run you would also benefit from good skin care. As we age (and get more sun damage) the collagen and elastic fibers in our skin reduces in quality and quantity.
The first step is to protect your skin with a good daily sunblock and cover up with sunglasses and a hat whenever you are outdoors. The second step is good antioxidants to protect against damage.
Most antioxidants are more effective if taken orally...

You don't look a day over 5 months old! Don't you think that you are worrying about your wrinkles a little early?
Now as for your Mum (who is likely not getting quite as much sleep as you, tell her that both Dysport and Botox work very well for Crow's feet.

Botox for crows feet
The best method for improving crowsfeet area is actually non-surgical: using Botox or Dysport to relax the muscles will minimize wrinkles. It is temporary and usually will last 3 - 4 months. You have to be careful in choosing your provider: it is one of the most difficult areas to do well. Your injector has to be very cognizant of different muscle groups responsible for the lines, and how they work and interact in repose and while smiling.
Fractional CO2 laser, like ActiveFX can improve the...

Botox, maybe Filler
Crow's feet are best treated with Botox. Any remaining lines may be tapped off with the judicious use of a filler. My preference is Cosmoderm, but Juvederm is also acceptable.
Wear sunglasses and have your eyes checked.
Read Proust and go to August Strindberg plays--so you won't smile so much.

Crow's feet treatment with botulinum toxin.
The best method for easing the effects of crow's feet is to use botulinum toxin (Botox or Dysport) on the orbicularis oculi muscle. It is temporary but has few side effects relative to other interventions.

Non-surgical treatment of crow's feet
Crow's feet are caused by the muscles around the eyes and result from smiling and squinting. Botox is great for minimizing the muscle activity and of course wearing good sun glasses. But keep smiling!

Botox is the best non-surgical method for crows feet
Rhondda,
Botox is hands down THE BEST treatment for Crows feet. Crows feet are caused by contraction of the underlying thin round muscle surrounding the eye (Orbicularis oculi). Application of a small dose of Botox to the muscle just underneath the crows feet will smooth them out.
If the crows feet are present when you are not smiling, you will need to add wrinkle fillers after Botox. but -- in 98% of the women I see, the issue is largely solved in a few minutes with Botox.
Good Luck.
