The crows called, they want their feet back!
Lateral canthal rhytides, or LCRs, are a common cosmetic concern that causes wrinkles and fine lines to appear around the outer corners of your eyes. These wrinkles usually appear when you smile, squint, or laugh and can become more noticeable as you age. LCRs can make you look older and tired, and some people may feel self-conscious about their appearance.
Fortunately, there are several treatment options available to reduce the appearance of LCRs and other types of facial wrinkles. One of the most popular treatments is neuromodulators, such as BOTOX Cosmetic. Neuromodulators work by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract, which can soften the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Neuromodulators are most effective for wrinkles and creases caused by facial movements, such as frowning, squinting, raising eyebrows, or even smiling. By reducing the muscle activity in these areas, neuromodulators can prevent new wrinkles from forming and help to smooth out existing ones. Some common areas that are treated with neuromodulators include crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles.
Another treatment option for LCRs is dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid filler is injected under the skin around the eyes, which adds volume and smoothens deep crow’s feet. This treatment can help to restore volume to areas that have lost elasticity and can improve the overall appearance of the skin. The severity of LCRs and other wrinkles can vary from person to person. Some people may have deep lines and creases, while others may only have minor wrinkles. It is essential to consult with our qualified doctor to discuss the risks and benefits of these treatments and determine if they are the right option for you.
Overall, neuromodulators and fillers are safe and effective treatments that can help you achieve a more youthful appearance. These treatments can boost your self-confidence and help you feel more comfortable in your own skin. If you are considering these treatments, be sure to choose a reputable provider and discuss any concerns or questions you may have before proceeding.
