Problems that Come with Age and Solutions: Part 10

by Dr. Adrienne Denese

Crow's Feet

The two most important reasons why crow’s feet come about is muscle movement under the skin and sun exposure that breaks down collagen. So, if you want to address the root of the problem, protect your skin so you can postpone the onset of crow’s feet by many years. Otherwise, the problem is muscle based so the treatment of choice is: BOTOX injections. Start with BOTOX to lessen muscle movement and see how well it works, before you resort to fillers but as always, please consult your doctor. The best fillers for the area are low density hyaluronic based filler such as Restyline Fine Line and the new human derived collagen fillers Cosmoplast and CosmoDerm.
