Your smile leaves an impression on everyone you meet, and over time, your smile can leave an impression on your skin. The creases and crinkles around your mouth and eyes from smiling can result in lines and wrinkles as your skin loses elasticity with age. If you are noticing smile lines and crow’s feet on your skin, RIVKIN Aesthetics offers Botox® injections for smile lines treatment at our clinic in Los Angeles.
Your facial skin folds and wrinkles in a few places when you smile. As your lips curve into a smile, smile lines can appear around the lips and a deeper crease appears at the nasolabial fold around the nose and mouth. Higher up on the face, the cheeks move upward and crinkle the outside corners of the eyes. Over the years, all these areas can show lines and wrinkles. Lip lines, nasolabial folds and crow’s feet are all types of smile lines, and some of them can be smoothed with Botox treatments.
Smoothing Crow’s Feet
The nasolabial fold smile lines are deeper creases that do not respond well to Botox – an appropriate facial filler can smooth these smile lines. However, crow’s feet and lip lines that are created by smiling can be smoothed with Botox injections. Precise placement of Botox around the outside of the eyes or around the lips can reduce these types of smile lines. You can combine Botox with facial fillers to manage all types of smile lines for a more youthful appearance.
Botox injections are safe and effective for wrinkle treatment. The procedure can be completed in about 15 minutes in our office in Los Angeles. Dr. Rivkin and our team of cosmetic injectors are highly experienced in accurate Botox injections that can dissipate crow’s feet and other dynamic lines. The neurotoxin in Botox relaxes the targeted muscle to smooth wrinkles and lines for about 3-4 months after treatment.
If you have crow’s feet around the eyes or lip lines around the mouth, Botox may be the right treatment to eliminate these skin creases. Contact us at RIVKIN Aesthetics to schedule your Botox for smile lines treatment at our LA clinic.
