🌸 Quick answer
Does Botox work for crow's feet? Yes. Crow's feet Botox relaxes the orbicularis oculi muscle around the eye, which contracts every time you smile or squint. Softening that movement smooths the fan of lines at the outer corners and helps prevent them deepening, while keeping your natural expression. Tiny, precise injections take minutes, results appear within a few days to two weeks, and they typically last 3–4 months.
What is crow's feet Botox?
Crow's feet are the fine lines that fan out from the outer corners of the eyes. They form because the orbicularis oculi muscle contracts each time you smile or squint, and over the years those creases can linger even at rest. Crow's feet Botox uses a wrinkle-relaxing neurotoxin to gently reduce that movement, smoothing the lines while keeping your smile warm and natural.
Because the eye area is delicate, our doctors use ultra-fine microdosing tailored to your eye shape and wrinkle depth. It pairs well with bunny lines or frown lines Botox for a balanced upper face.
