How to Treat Static Wrinkles - Crows Feet?
Hello, I have crows feet even when I am not smiling - static wrinkles. What would be the best way to treat this? Would Botox actually decrease some of the static wrinkles too? If not, what would be the best treatment? Thanks!

Static wrinkle treatment with Botox, filler and laser
Static wrinkles require a combination of treatments. Botox to stop any movement, fillers to add some volume, fractional CO2 laser to stimulate and tighten collagen, and sun protection to prevent more damage and thinning from the effects of the sun.

Static wrinkles -crow's feet - respond to C02 skin laser
Finer crow's feet lines will respond well to relaxing the underlying muscle surrounding the eye, with small injections of Botox.
Lines that still remain would be helped with a deep penetrating C02 skin laser. It typically is done with a couple of treatments.

Static vs dynamic wrinkles
Static wrinkles cannot be significantly reduced with Botox alone. Sometimes there is some muscle activity even when you think you are completely static and this can lead to a little improvement with Botox.

If you are not using sun protection, all of these treatments are basically a waste of time and money.
