Botulinum toxin · Crow's feet
Botulinum toxin for crow's feet
Crow's feet are the fan of lines at the outer corners of the eyes. They form when you smile and squint against the sun, and over time they stay even with a straight face.
Botulinum toxin relaxes the outer part of the muscle that circles the eye. The lines soften; the smile stays. The dose is small, because the skin here is thin and we want the eyes to keep smiling with the mouth.
A 15-minute session, €150. It is usually combined with the frown lines and the forehead so the upper face reads as one.
What changes with crow's feet treatment
Botulinum toxin in the outer part of the muscle that circles the eye. The fan of lines at the corner softens; the smile stays. The dose is small, because the skin here is thin.
Is it for you?
Lines that fan out when you smile or squint, and with time stay there at rest. Thin skin with years of sun marks first.
What happens in the session
The points are marked with you smiling, which is what protects the smile. Very shallow injections, no anaesthetic. It is the area where you feel it least. Fifteen minutes.
What you'll see, and when
First signs at 3 days, complete by day 14. It lasts 3 to 4 months here, a little less than the forehead, because the muscle is very active.
After the treatment
Nothing to recover from. A small bruise at an injection point can happen and passes in a few days.
Why it looks natural
The smile lives in this muscle, so we relax only its outer part: the fan of lines softens while the smile still reaches the eyes. The points are marked with you smiling, which is what protects it, and the dose stays small because the skin here is thin. Treated together with the forehead and frown lines, the upper face reads as one.
Honest answers

Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions we hear every day. Everything else belongs in the consultation.
What are crow's feet?
The lines that fan out from the outer corners of the eyes. They appear when you smile and squint, and they settle in with the years, especially on thin skin with a lot of sun.
Will I still smile normally?
Yes. We relax only the outer part of the muscle. The smile still reaches the eyes, without the fan of lines around them.
How long does it last?
Between 3 and 4 months here. The muscle is very active and the dose is low, so it lasts a little less than on the forehead.
What are the risks?
A small bruise at an injection point is the most common, and it passes in a few days. A badly placed dose can change the smile for a few weeks; that is why we mark the points with you smiling.
Does it hurt?
Very shallow injections. It is the area where you feel it least.
When do I see the result?
You see it start at 3 days; the day-14 result is the complete one.
How many units?
It depends on the strength of the muscle and the size of the fan. We do not use fixed doses: we mark the points with your smile and decide the amount at the consultation.
Can I treat it with the forehead and the frown lines?
Yes. The three areas together cost €320 and are treated in the same session.
