Introduction
Crow's feet, also known as wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, are generally divided into two types: dynamic and static. Because different types of eye wrinkles require different treatments, it's important to distinguish between them. Dynamic crow's feet occur when facial muscles contract—such as when smiling, causing wrinkles to deepen—and are thus called dynamic wrinkles. These can be improved with botulinum toxin injections. Static crow's feet, on the other hand, are visible even without muscle contraction.
Fine lines around the eyes are a common facial concern for many women, making them appear older, especially when smiling. So, how can you eliminate these eye wrinkles?
How to Eliminate Eye Wrinkles
Wrinkles around the eyes are commonly known as crow's feet, which generally fall into two categories: dynamic and static crow's feet. Because fine lines vary in type, different treatment methods apply. Dynamic crow's feet occur when muscles contract—such as when laughing or smiling—and the wrinkles become more pronounced. These are called dynamic crow's feet and can be improved with botulinum toxin injections. Static crow's feet, on the other hand, are visible even without muscle movement, appearing clearly when the face is at rest. To address static crow's feet, localized injections of certain substances may be considered. Typically, static wrinkles require hyaluronic acid fillers to smooth them out. For dynamic crow's feet, hyaluronic acid is not usually recommended initially; instead, botulinum toxin injections are preferred.
Besides botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid injections, other treatments such as thread lifts and facelift surgery can also effectively reduce eye wrinkles, offering longer-lasting results. However, these procedures may involve some degree of skin trauma and should be chosen based on individual aesthetic goals.
Eye wrinkles tend to become more noticeable with age and are ultimately unavoidable. However, practicing proper skincare and anti-aging routines in daily life can help delay their progression. We hope this information has been helpful. Wishing you good health.
