The appearance of crow’s feet as we get older cannot be prevented…but it can definitely by dramatically slowed down and minimized!

First, let’s go ahead and take a look at the primary causes of crow’s feet in the first place:

• The constant contracting of the eye muscles when smiling and squinting
• Loss of elasticity as well as collagen in the skin (likely due to skin damage)
• Loss of supportive tissues beneath the skin such as fat, muscle, and bone

The first step you should take in order to reduce/prevent crow’s feet is to protect your skin from any further damage by applying a quality eye-area sunscreen each morning. At night, you should also use a good eye-area moisturizer just before bed.

Botox

If you want to see fast results and you’re not afraid of the procedure (or the cost), you may want to consider botox treatment. Receiving a botox treatment will take care of the primary cause of crow’s feet, the over-activity of muscles in the eye area. With these muscles relaxed, the appearance of crow’s feet can be greatly minimized, and in some cases, eliminated altogether.

Botox treatment specifically for crow’s feet will usually cost you somewhere between $200-$500. Don’t be afraid to pay a little more for a quality treatment. Be warned, a botched job may leave you with a “frozen” look. Also keep in mind that you will need to continue receiving treatments every month or so (effects are not permanent). If you have the budget, using Botox in conjunction with Cosmoderm and Cosmoplast generally yields the best results.

Other Options

Well, there are laser treatments available…that is, if you’re willing to spend more. A lot more. Fractional laser treatments are regarded as being highly effective, but usually cost between $3,000-$5,000. Not to mention the accumulated cost of annual maintenance treatments…
