Crow’s Feet
Crow's feet, also known as laugh lines or character lines, are the fine lines and wrinkles that form around the outer corners of the eyes. These lines become more prominent with age and are often one of the first signs of aging.
Our Expert Approach to Treatment of Crow's Feet
Botox, or Botulinum toxin type A, is a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes muscles by blocking nerve signals.
When injected into the muscles around the eyes, Botox prevents them from contracting, which smooths out existing wrinkles and prevents new ones from forming.
Crow's Feet Treatment with Botulinum Toxin
What are crow's feet?
Crow's feet, also known as lateral canthal lines, are the fine lines and wrinkles that appear around the outer corners of your eyes.
These lines become more noticeable when you smile or squint and typically develop as part of the natural ageing process.
How does Botulinum Toxin treatment work?
Botulinum Toxin is carefully injected into specific muscles around the eyes that cause crow's feet. The treatment works by temporarily relaxing these muscles, reducing their movement and softening the appearance of wrinkles.

Causes Behind the Concern
Facial Expression
Repeated movements such as smiling, laughing, and squinting cause the skin around the eyes to crease over time.
Aging
As we age, the skin loses elasticity and collagen, making it more susceptible to wrinkles.
Sun Exposure
Ultraviolet (UV) rays break down collagen and elastin fibres in the skin, accelerating the aging process.
Lifestyle Factors
Smoking and poor skincare can contribute to the formation of crow's feet
Treatment Journey
