How does Botox for Crow's Feet work
Once injected, the toxin relaxes the outer fibres of the muscle that pulls the skin into folds at the corner of the eye. Over the following days the area moves less when you smile, and the fanning lines soften. Because only the outer part of the muscle is treated, your smile stays natural while the crinkling around it eases.
The lines at the outer eye are driven by a ring-shaped muscle that contracts every time you smile or squint. Relaxing part of it changes how the skin behaves:
- Muscle softening — reduces the repeated contraction that folds the delicate skin at the outer eye
- Reduced creasing — with less movement, the skin folds less and existing lines relax
- Collagen protection — limiting repeated folding helps preserve the skin's structure over time
- Selective placement — only the outer fibres are treated, keeping a natural smile intact
Patient Journey
What to expect
Consultation
Every treatment begins with a consultation. Your practitioner watches how the lines form when you smile and squint, checks the quality of the skin around your eyes, reviews your medical history and agrees the right placement and dose before proceeding.
Preparation
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment
- Pause non-essential blood-thinning supplements for a few days where safe
- Arrive with clean skin and no eye make-up on the area
- Allow two weeks before any special occasion
- Mention any history of dry eyes or previous eye-area treatments
Treatment
Your practitioner will ask you to smile so the lines and muscle can be mapped. After cleansing the skin, two to three tiny injections are placed at the outer corner of each eye using a very fine needle. Each feels like a brief pinch, and the appointment usually takes under ten minutes. No anaesthetic is needed and you can return to normal activities immediately with the usual aftercare.
