Crow's Feet Botox

“Crow’s feet” are the fine wrinkles that fan out from the corners of the eyes whenever a person laughs or smiles. These lines can add years to a person’s appearance, and Botox is a fast and effective way of minimizing these unwanted wrinkles.

Botox has been FDA approved for the treatment of crow’s feet since 2013. We are pleased to offer our patients Botox Crow’s Feet treatment in Atlanta.

What is Botox Cosmetic?

Botox is the shortened name for Botulinum Toxin A. This is a neuromodulator approved by the FDA for treatment of dynamic wrinkles in specific areas of the face. Dynamic wrinkles are those formed when muscles move and contract.Botox prevents nerve signals from reaching treated muscles to lessen their contraction and hence minimize the wrinkles. This achieves a more youthful, vibrant appearance.

How Does Botox Treat Crow's Feet?

Who is a Good Candidate?

Specific facial muscles are used when a person laughs or smiles, leading to wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes. Botox injections cause the muscles that lead to wrinkles to relax and smoothes the appearance of the skin around the eyes. Your smile radiates happiness without the wrinkles.

Botox is generally recommended for healthy people who are over the age of 18. Every person is unique and has their own personal risk profile, so a consultation with a doctor is important before receiving Botox treatment in Atlanta.

Crow’s feet begin to deepen and become more visible as a person approaches age 40, but many patients opt to start using Crow’s Feet Botox in their 20s as a preventative measure.

How It Works - Where is Botox Injected?

The specific muscle that surrounds the eye and which causes Crow’s feet wrinkles is called the Orbicularis oculi. When activated, this is the muscle that causes Crow’s feet. Botox injections are made in this muscle on both sides of the face, which causes it to relax. Two to three injections are usually made to each side of the face.

What does Botox Feel Like?

The injections feel like tiny pinpricks, and the procedure is well- tolerated by most patients.

Possible Side Effects and Risks

When injected by an expert like the providers at Georgia Skin Specialists, Botox injections seldom result in side effects. Occasional bruising, swelling, or redness may occur and our providers can discuss how to minimize those side effects during your initial consultation. Because Botox is a safe and efficient procedure, the consultation and Botox treatment can conveniently occur during the same appointment.

Results of Botox Treatment in Atlanta

Within two to three days after receiving Botox injections for Crow’s feet, the muscle around the eye should start to relax, and patients will start to see results. Botox takes full effect 14 days after the treatment.

Botox is a neuromodulator that the body gradually breaks down in a process that usually takes about three to four months. To maintain the desired results, patients should have Botox treatments three to four times per year.
