Botox is a great way to paralyze the muscles that create crows feet for a 3-6 month fix.

Preventatively Botox is number one and I think that’s something that could be started before you even get them. Once you get some little lines showing, again Botox. Keeping it relaxed as soon as you notice it, Botox, and getting it every three months. Now those small muscles around the eyes are very, very thin and I rarely see Botox lasting longer than three months. If someone tells you it’s going to last 4-5 months, they’re not telling you the truth. I can see it as short as two months in some people. That muscle is very, very thin and it just doesn’t hold much Botox. More Botox in that area is not necessarily better. It’s just that I typically use 20-25 units in that area for both sides. I mean total of 20-25 units. Then there are other things good moisturizers, hydration, antioxidants. There are some topical - Bota-peptide is a really good product that can be used in that area for smoothing fine lines and things like that. This is an area that works really well with those.
