Crow’s feet are the fine lines that appear around your eyes, often precipitated by sun exposure, smoking, and smiling. Serving patients in the Hartford, CT, area, Lauren A. Daman, MD, PC offers various treatments for those who need professional skin care.

To treat crow’s feet, there are some wonderful options, including, but not limited to, the following.

Chemical Face Peels: The best non-injectable cosmetic treatment for crow’s feet is a professional chemical peel. Typically, it works within a few minutes, and with the entire procedure usually lasting no more than ten minutes. Chemical peels have the ability to go deep below the skin’s surface to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which diminishes the look of your lines and wrinkles.

Microdermabrasion: This painless exfoliating procedure uses a vacuum-like wand that passes over your skin, sloughing off the top layer of sun-damaged and dead skin cells to the reveal the softer, healthier, and smoother skin below. Microdermabrasion is often combined with chemical face peels because it helps the topical products penetrate the surface layer of your skin.

Botox: For patients who want a tried and true way to erase fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, Botox is often the answer. Botox is an injectable substance that prevents the breakdown of collagen in your face. Effectively, it paralyzes the facial muscles that lead to wrinkles by blocking their nerve impulses. The procedure takes will take about 30 minutes to perform, involves minimal discomfort, if any, and the results typically last 12 to 16 weeks.
