Radiesse is not used by most doctors for Crows feet
Crows feet are best treated by Botox, Dysport or Xeomin as they relax the muscles and it is the muscle contraction that makes the skin fold on itself. Fillers can look lumpy at rest if thick, and Radiesse is a thick filler so avoid it in this region! Radiesse is meant to be injected more deeply in the subcutaneous compartment and the skin and subQ of the perioribtal area is very thin. If any filler is used, Restylane might be but here too, it may cause some lumps and even a bluish...

Radiesse not for crow's feet
I prefer to use Botox, Restylane or both in the thinner tissues surrounding the eyes. Radiesse is an excellent filler which should be used in other areas of the face.

Radiesse id not for Crow's Feet
Because Radiesse is so thick, it is not approved for correction of Crows feet. Botox cosmetic will help eliminate Crow's feet by weakening the orbicularis muscle that causes Crow's feet. For deeper lines, hyaluronic acid fillers are more appropriate.

Radiesse for crow's feet?
Radiesse is firmer than most fillers, so it’s a frequent fix for deep grooves and to enhance bony contours. You may benefit more from Botox for that area. Botox is one of the best things around for eliminating fine lines and wrinkles, such as crow's feet. Rather than "plumping" like collagen and fat, Botox blocks the impulses that nerves send to muscles, essentially paralyzing the muscles and diminishing their ability to tense. Using a very fine needle, the surgeon...

Radiesse to crowsfeet....
NO! Botox or Dysport are ideal for treating "crowsfeet". These 2 products relax the muscle movements and decrease animation wrinkles. Radiesse is too thick for this area.
Good luck. Hope this helps.

Radiesse for Crows Feet
Cows feet are dynamic lines and best treated with a neuro-toxin such and Dysport or Botox. A study just out, shows Dysport has better results on the Crows feet than Botox.
Radiesse should be avoided under the eyes , crows feet, and lips, as the dynamic action of the obicularis muscle can lead to nodularity. Hyaluronic acid is much better in these areas.

Radiesse Not Recommended for Crow's Feet
Radiesse is a great filler when used properly, however the crow's feet area is NOT the right place to use it. The skin is too thin and lumpiness will result if Radiesse is injected here. Even hyaluronic acid fillers should be used cautiously here, if at all. Neurotoxins such as Botox and Dysport are the best option,

Radiesse for Treatment of Crow's Feet.
My first line of defense for crow's feet is Botox. Sometimes we will go back and use a filler in this area if it is warrented. Typically we would use a HA based filler, (Restylane or Juvederm). Radiesse is usually reserved for injection into deeper layers of the skin.

Do Not Use Radiesse To Treat Crow’s Feet Lines And Wrinkles
Crow’s feet lines and wrinkles are primarily caused by contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle, but the amount of skin damage and laxity plays a role as well. The best treatment, therefore, should be aimed at treating the cause of these lines. Botox and Dysport relax the orbicularis muscle and reduce its contraction, thereby reducing the wrinkling of the overlying skin. Prolonged reduction of muscle contractions will therefore reduce the number of visible wrinkles in the overlying...

Radiesse for Crow's Feet
Radiesse should be injected into the deeper layers of the skin and therefore I do not use this filler in the thin skin of the crow's feet. I will use Juvederm and Restylane in this area. The best treatment is Botox.

Radiesse for Crow's Feet is a BAD Idea
Radiesse (formerly Radiance) is a long lasting filler containing calcium particles which was designed to be injected deeply. Injecting it into thin skin (as around the lower lid and crow's feet area) or in the lip is a bad idea since it may result in visible and palpable lumps.

Using Radiesse for crowsfeet...
It is not recommended to use Radiesse to smooth the lines around the eyes, known as crows feet. The lines are too superficial and by using a filler, it would make it too lumpy. Using Botox would improve the crows feet and give you better results. I would make an appointment with your plastic surgeon to show him what you are trying to improve.

Radiesse for Crow's Feet
Radiesse is not appropriate for use in treating crow's feet. Stimulatory fillers such as Radiesse are injected just beneath the skin, forming a scaffold on which your own collagen grows. It is not ideal for deeper applications like cheek folds and marionette lines as well as hollowing in the cheeks and under the eyes. Radiesse is not likely to work in thin skin areas so close to the eyes. Botox or Dysport is much more ideal for this purpose. Radiesse is best used for volume...

Radiesse for crows feet
I would not use Radiesse for crows feet. It is to [bulky] a product for these delicate lines. I really don't like fillers for crows feet. Try Botox or Dysport.

Radiesse should not be used in Crow's Feet
Radiesse is meant to be injected into the fatty layer, of the tissues and the Crow's Feet have very little, if any, fat within the temporalis and orbicularis muscles. You'd be much better off, IMHO, using Botox or Dysport to relax these unwanted lines. Using Radiesse to try and fill these lines out could result in marked lumps or white bumps from superficial placement of the Radiesse within the skin.
