Luckily for us, there is a remedy that will deliver a short term solution at a cost-effective price right here in Scottsdale Arizona.

For this reason , chances that your health insurance will cover this procedure is very low. Having said that, the cost of having Botox for crows feet will vary greatly depending on the city and state that you live in as well as the amount of units that will be required. Some patients may not have as many wrinkles as others and as such may require fewer units of Botox to achieve the desired results.

It will yield results relatively quickly and effectively, but the results will need to be maintained through regular visits to the doctor.

Is Botox or fillers better for crow’s feet in Scottsdale AZ?

In order to answer this question it is best to understand the difference between Botox and fillers. Botox is injected into the affected area. The Botox then relaxes the muscle under the skin and allows the skin and muscle to return to their previous position. It gives a more youthful, open-eyed appearance. Fillers are soft tissue filler that is injected into the skin at different depths to decrease facial wrinkles, create more facial volume, and in some cases alter the physical appearance of the facial features. Both Botox and fillers each come with advantages and disadvantages, and to tell the truth, they are not really used for the same thing. Botox can also be used as a preventative measure as many younger people seek to use Botox as a means to prevent premature aging of the skin. Botox is great for elevating the brow and opening up the eye area while fillers are primarily used to add more volume to the skin and create a more youthful appearance. Botox treats wrinkles while your face is moving making their appearance lessen while fillers lessen the appearance of wrinkles on the face when the face is not moving. Treatment time and the time frame for the results to last differs between Botox and fillers. Fillers create longer lasting results but also take longer to inject. However, when it comes to crows feet, Botox may be the better option.

Why are my crows feet so bad?  Will a cream help?

You may not always realize it, but you squint more often than you think. And, every time you smile or laugh, you move facial muscles, which may add to the formation of wrinkles. As we age, we lose elasticity in our skin. These two factors combined with natural facial expressions, free radicals, and hormone changes add to the deepening of facial wrinkles. You’ve probably heard the old saying telling you to get more vitamin D. And, as such, you tend to spend more time outdoors. While sunlight in moderation is good for you, excessive UV exposure can cause damage to your skin and result in premature aging by drying the skin out and causing harm to the cellular structure of your skin. This problem may be mitigated by wearing the proper sunglasses that block out UV rays and applying sun protection with added moisturizer. When applying moisturizer to the eye area, use the fourth finger on your hand to apply it as this will exert the least amount of pressure on the most sensitive part of your face, the skin around the eyes.

Another culprit of deepening crow’s feet is constant weight gain or loss. While this may have an effect on your entire body, certain areas are more prone to show damage, such as the gentle skin around the eye area. And as the weight continues to fluctuate, the plumpness of the skin on the facial area, may not be able to bounce back, causing crow’s feet. Using quality skincare products or skincare cream may help somewhat, but not as much as Botox or Dysport injections.

What age do you get crows feet and skin wrinkles?
