How to Maintain Crow’s Feet with Neurotoxins
Are crow’s feet suddenly appearing around your eyes? If you’re bothered by these fine lines crinkling whenever you smile, squint, speak or laugh - we can help. With aesthetic neurotoxins, you can maintain crow’s feet and even prevent those eye wrinkles from worsening over time.
Here at Myrha Beauty, we offer multiple injectables that are ideal for maintaining and improving the appearance of crow’s feet. So, if this is a major concern for you, just keep reading and you’ll feel (and look) better in no time. 💁🏼♀️
WHAT EXACTLY ARE CROW’S FEET?
Crow’s feet are defined as the small perpendicular pull lines that develop around the eyes. Particularly, they appear where the muscles insert into the skin.
We all develop crow’s feet, just some of us get them sooner than others. Crow’s feet are caused by normal, everyday facial movements like squinting, laughing, and smiling (aka, living a good life!). Plus, the average person blinks 15-20 times a minute, so that doesn’t help.
These small, but never-ending, movements crinkle the skin. Since the skin surrounding the eyes is more delicate and thin than other areas of the face, crow’s feet are often among the first facial wrinkles to appear.
It’s totally normal to start noticing crow’s feet around your mid-30’s, especially if you spent a lot of time in the sun. So, if your crow’s feet are here to stay and you want to give them the boot, it’s time for Neurotoxins. Yass queen! 👑

HOW NEUROTOXINS WORK TO FIX CROW’S FEET
Neurotoxins are an ideal solution to help diminish fine lines on the skin, including crow’s feet. When strategically placed, these injections of botulinum toxin temporarily prevent nerve cells from signaling to muscles, stopping their contraction. Over time, neurotoxins weaken the same facial movements that cause crow’s feet (and all fine lines) to develop.
Here at Myrha Beauty in Ontario, we offer three types of Neurotoxins: Botox®, Dysport®, and Nuceiva®. These options are to accommodate all of our patients and the wide range of their skin types, lifestyles, and budgets. If you’re curious to learn more about the differences between these 3, read our blog on them HERE.
Right now, we’re focusing on what Botox, Dysport, and Nuceiva can do to fight crow’s feet.
BOTOX®
As you can imagine, the most popular neurotoxin overall is Botox, that’s because it’s been around the longest. It’s great for treating severe to mild lines and results last 3-4 months. It’s more concentrated, making it ideal for targeting specific, smaller concerns like crow’s feet.
DYSPORT®
Dysport is another great solution for some of our patients. It has a quicker onset (2-5 days) than Botox (7-10 days), meaning you get noticeable results much faster. Dysport is ideal for treating larger areas, like the entire forehead but we use it often for crow’s feet depending on the patient.
Nuceiva®
Nuceiva® is Canada’s newest and most advanced neuromodulator. It works the same way as Botox and Dysport, making it effective for diminishing the appearance of crow’s feet. The biggest difference is cost as Nuceiva is our most affordable neurotoxin.
MORE SERVICES THAT IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF CROW’S FEET
In addition to injectables, we offer other aesthetic services that can address crow’s feet. Depending on your skin and the severity of your crow’s feet, we might suggest:
⚡ Beauty Booster that combines the power of microneedling with Teosyal Redensity® 1 Hyaluronic Acid

OTHER WAYS TO PREVENT FINE LINES
To prevent more fine lines and to alleviate the crow’s feet you may have already, here are some more tips to try out.
✨ Stay away from thick foundations or concealers around the eyes since it can crease and accentuate the appearance of crow’s feet
✨ Always wear sunglasses and/or a hat when in the sunshine to minimize squinting
✨ Try to prevent and manage your stress levels to avoid frowning and crying
✨ Keep skin hydrated from the inside out by drinking plenty of water every day
✨ Invest in a silk pillowcase as it prevents pulling at the skin when you’re sleeping
