It has been a few decades now that Botox treatments have been used successfully as a cosmetic and corrective procedure for problems relating to aging and its possible effects and side effects. Crow's feet are one such side effect of aging that has been treated with Botox with a success rate of 100%.

Crow's feet, also popularly known as the laughter lines are actually a cluster of fine lines or tiny wrinkles that form around the eyes and the eyelids or at the outer corner of the eyes. These are often the result of age. Actually, these are among the first wrinkles that are formed and are visible as early as in the 30s. These are visible easily when one squints or contracts the muscles of the face.
