How to Get Rid of Crow’s Feet Without Surgery

Crow’s feet, or fine lines along the outer corners of your eyes, aren’t necessarily a bad thing. Their formation can indicate that you’ve smiled often, as your skin tends to crease in that area when you do. Fine facial lines form in areas where your skin creases repeatedly.

Despite this positive spin on crow’s feet, you might not appreciate how these wrinkles look. In fact, crow’s feet are reported to be the feature that bothers women aged 30-65 the most. If your crow’s feet bother you, nonsurgical procedures can smooth them without the complexities of cosmetic surgery.

Pure Bliss Med Spa in Sandy Springs, Georgia, offers the latest and most effective nonsurgical cosmetic treatments to alleviate signs of aging, including crow’s feet and other fine lines. Founder and aesthetic nurse practitioner Asha Hill, NP, specializes in customized anti-aging treatments to refresh your appearance based on your goals. 

In this article, we’ll review several of the leading treatments for crow’s feet that don’t involve incisions or general anesthesia.

Cosmetic injectables for crow’s feet

Cosmetic injectables are administered with a needle and syringe. The fine needle minimizes discomfort during the procedure, and every treatment takes less than an hour.  

Botox® is the best-suited cosmetic injectable for treating crow’s feet and other dynamic wrinkles that form similarly. The active component in Botox injections is a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin, which temporarily causes the underlying muscles to relax. As a result, wrinkles fade while Botox affects these muscles.

You can expect Botox injections to get rid of crow’s feet for 3-4 months on average, but sometimes up to six months. If you’re pleased with how Botox treats your crow’s feet, you can repeat the treatment to make your results last longer.

Collagen-stimulating treatments for crow’s feet

Collagen is a structural protein that helps keep your skin tight. Essentially, it keeps your skin looking youthful. As it breaks down, wrinkles like crow’s feet become more prominent. 

Some noninvasive and minimally invasive treatments help collagen grow to reduce wrinkles, lines, and scars. These include:

Laser Genesis

Laser Genesis is a specialty procedure at Pure Bliss Med Spa to fortify your skin and minimize common fine lines such as crow’s feet. This painless, noninvasive procedure gently heats your skin using laser energy, which helps your skin grow new collagen. 

Since collagen growth takes time, it can take 3-6 months to see the full effect of Laser Genesis for crow’s feet.

Microneedling

Like Laser Genesis, microneedling increases collagen in your skin. Instead of using heat, microneedling uses fine needles to create a grid of shallow channels in your skin. Your skin treats these channels as injuries, growing collagen to heal them.

Exfoliative treatments for crow’s feet

Exfoliation removes dead, damaged, and weak cells from your skin’s surface to reveal a smoother and brighter complexion. These treatments reduce the appearance of crow’s feet so they’re not so noticeable.

Pure Bliss Med Spa offers:

Chemical peels

Chemical peels use an acid solution applied to your skin to cause cells to slough off. 

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a physical exfoliative treatment. By gently passing an abrasive instrument over your skin, microdermabrasion removes the outermost layer of aging skin cells.
