Botox
What is best method (non surgical) to treat corner eye bunching and crows feet. Thanks.
Botox or dysport treatment at the corner of the eyes is a great treatment for "crow's feet." If you only experience the lines when you are smiling, this is an indication that it is a result of voluntary contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle. Botox or Dysport will help to paralyze/relax those lateral fibers of the muscle so that when you smile, it won't create the bunching and lines. As always, consult with an experienced injector to discuss your specific concerns.
Clinical Context
Botox and Dysport are the main non-surgical options for crow's feet caused by muscle movement when you smile. Treatment works best when the injector tailors dose and placement to your muscle strength, skin thickness, and whether the lines appear only with expression or also at rest. Deeper, resting lines may benefit from a skin-care or filler approach alongside the toxin. Results typically last three to four months, after which treatment can be repeated to maintain smoothness around the eyes.
