Wrinkles around the eyes, such as crow’s feet, are among the most prominent wrinkles on the face. People are often most concerned with their eye wrinkles. The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on our face, perhaps even a millimeter thick in places. This is very thin and may get even thinner with sun damage and exposure. As the sun damages our collagen and elastin proteins, we can see the development of wrinkles around the eyes and thinning of the skin. This process continues as we age and are exposed to greater amounts of sun damage.
If a patient has developed crow's feet or wrinkles around and between the eyes, there are a number of treatments which may be appropriate. A combination of different treatments may also be appropriate to maximize results. Ideally a patient will seek treatment with a skin expert who can determine the treatment best suited to their particular case.
Botox® is a good way to treat crow's feet and other wrinkles caused by movement of the facial muscles. Laser treatment is also often used to treat those types of wrinkles. Fractional laser resurfacing such as Fraxel® is also highly effective. Often we will utilize injectables like Restylane® or Juvederm® for the lines in and around the eyes.
