The creases along the outside of the eyes when you smile can become etched in the skin over the years. These “smile lines” look like crow’s feet and are a common form of dynamic facial wrinkle. If you relax the muscles that form smile lines, you can smooth the wrinkles around the eyes. At LL Aesthetics, we provide smile lines treatment with neuromodulator injections at our Miami Beach, FL, clinic.
Botox® was the first neuromodulator FDA-approved for cosmetic treatment. It has been approved for frown lines since 2002 and was also FDA-approved for the treatment of crow’s feet or eye smile lines in 2013. Botox and other neuromodulators like Dysport® and Xeomin® are effective for wrinkles and facial line reduction by relaxing the muscles that cause these creases in the skin.
Crow’s feet appear due to lost elasticity in the skin and repeated creasing when smiling, frowning or squinting. The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate, making it susceptible to wrinkles. Smile lines around the eyes are one of the first places wrinkles appear on the face for many people. These wrinkles can be diminished quickly with neuromodulator injections at our facility in Miami Beach.
Botox for Crow’s Feet
Botox or other neuromodulators can be effective at reducing the appearance of crow’s feet. The injections are placed in about 15 minutes, and the results can appear as soon as a few days after the treatment. Neuromodulators use a neurotoxin that stops muscle contractions by interrupting nerve communication. These are safe and effective wrinkle treatments that do not require any recovery or downtime – you can go back to work or other activities after your appointment. The smoother skin around the eyes can last for four months before the effects of the neuromodulator wear off.
