Overview
The orbicularis oculi muscle is causative for the formation of lateral canthal lines. Continuous contractions of this msucle along with skin aging, can result in deeply edge-in Crows feet which are also referred to as lateral canthal furrows. Learn in this video how such deep skin rhytids can be treated with soft tissue fillers if neuromodulator injections are not sufficient anymore.
Treatment type: Soft Tissue Fillers
Facial region: Periorbital
Approach: Needle and Cannula Injection Technique
