Crow’s feet (periorbital lines)

Cro­w’s feet are the fine lines that fan out from the outer cor­ner of the eye. They are cau­sed by the ring-shaped mus­cle around the eye, which con­tracts when we laugh and blink.

Appli­ca­ti­on

Small amounts of botu­li­num toxin relax the outer part of the mus­cle and sof­ten the lines wit­hout taking away expres­si­on. With very dry, thin skin, skin boos­ters or meso­the­ra­py com­ple­ment the tre­at­ment becau­se they impro­ve skin quality.

Good to know

Making the lines dis­ap­pear enti­re­ly is not the goal, and would not look natu­ral. Only the late­ral part of the mus­cle is trea­ted so that eye clo­sure and a genui­ne smi­le are preserved.
