Crows feet seem really genetic in my family. I have that one odd line/ dimple thing just on that one side when I smile... i've had it since I was even a kid... it has exaggerated now.
Answer: Treating crow's feet Thank you for your question pnwlover. I understand your concern. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression such as the crows feet seen around the eyes when one smiles. The pivotal studies demonstrated that when 24 units (12 units per side) are used, patients see maximum results at 2 weeks and enjoy their results for 3-4 months. Some people confuse these wrinkles with nasolabial folds that get deeper when one smiles. Nasolabial folds go from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth and some people have parallel radial folds on the cheeks. These are best addressed with fillers and sometimes laser resurfacing. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
