Botox can be used to prevent wrinkles from forming or from worsening. Thin fillers can be used to soften any wrinkles that do not smooth out with Botox. Sun protection is important to prevent damage and thinning of the skin.

LIve Video Face lift Crowsfeet and discussion: Botox, Fat injections, Facelifting for Crows feet

There are many options for crows feet. The most common way is to use botox. This lasts 3-4 months sometimes longer depending on the person. Fat injections can be more of a long term solution. Wrinkles occur because the distance between your skin and facial muscles become less and the muscles start to exert more tension on the skin due to the closer proximity. Fat injections increases this distance. There is a way through face lifting that works and you can see a video below regarding it. more

Crow's Feet are dynamic wrinkles occuring as a result of Orbicularis Oculi Muscle Overactivity

The orbicularis oculi muscle helps us squint and close our eyes. When we use these muscles extensively when we squint, we develop crow's feet, or 'lateral canthal rhytids.'

Always wear sun protection daily - whether you are tanning or just spending time outside you should be protecting your skin. Refraining from smoking will also improve the skin tone in the area.
