Wrinkle Treatment

Wrinkles around the eyes, often called crow's feet, are categorized by doctors as dynamic wrinkles because they develop largely from years of contracting the muscles that display our emotions when we smile, squint, deeply consider, show surprise or laugh. If you've developed such wrinkles yourself, we're happy to hear that life has dealt you so many rich emotional experiences!

There are countless cosmetic strategies for reducing crow's feet-including acid peels, injectable fillers, collagen, abrasion or traditional laser treatment. These techniques can achieve moderately successful results for many patients.

The real breakthrough came recently when Fraxel Laser Treatment was approved for wrinkles around the eyes after studies showed that the new laser could be far more effective than traditional therapies.

“About eight weeks after my first Fraxel treatment, the fine lines around my eyes were erased and my skin just looked better. Everyone noticed the improvement and asked if I changed my makeup. I would encourage anyone considering the Fraxel® Laser to do it. If you have the procedure done on a Friday, you'll look good enough to go back to work on Monday.”
