Crow's feet and wrinkles around the eyes
Crow’s feet appear due to strong muscle activity around the eyes — for example, when you smile or squint. The depth of these fine lines varies from person to person.
In many cases, a mild muscle relaxant is already effective in softening smile lines. For deeper lines, a full-strength Botox treatment may be more suitable to achieve noticeable but natural-looking results.

Fine smile lines and crow’s feet can be charming — they reflect a life filled with joy. But over time, these lines often deepen, becoming visible even when you’re not smiling. At that point, they might feel less flattering.
Deep wrinkles around the eyes can create a tired or aged appearance, especially if they extend onto the cheeks. For women, makeup may settle into these lines throughout the day, making them even more noticeable. In some younger people, crow’s feet are among the first visible signs of aging — not always in line with their otherwise youthful look.
No matter your age, Botox offers a quick and effective way to soften or even remove crow’s feet, all without taking away your natural charm. For deeper smile lines, a combination treatment may be recommended — such as dermal fillers in the cheeks, temples, or under-eye area — to achieve the best possible result.

Crow’s feet are caused by intense muscle activity, especially when you smile or squint. The orbicularis oculi muscle is connected to the delicate skin around the eyes, which leads to the formation of smile lines and facial expressions. Over time, these lines can become visible even when your face is at rest. In some cases — especially with sunken temples, — the lines can even extend toward the hairline.
Crow’s feet are one of the most commonly treated wrinkle concerns, and they can appear at various ages — even in younger men and women. The depth of the lines varies per person, but in general, younger skin is more elastic, which means that Microbotox can already be very effective.
In other cases, regular Botox alone is sufficient, while deeper or more structural wrinkles may benefit from additional support using dermal fillers. We’ll provide you with detailed, personalized advice during your consultation at the clinic.
When you arrive at our clinic, we’ll start with a brief consultation and take photos to document your before-and-after results. The treatment then begins. Using an ultra-fine needle, Botox or Microbotox is carefully injected into the muscles around the eyes. This causes the muscles to temporarily relax, allowing the skin to smooth out naturally.
The treatment takes only a few minutes and is virtually painless, thanks to cooling of the skin during the procedure.
In some cases, we recommend combining the Botox treatment with dermal fillers — for example, in the cheekbone area or in deeper skin folds. These treatments are performed separately, with the filler placed first. This ensures any swelling has subsided before Botox is administered for the best possible result.
After the treatment, you may notice some redness, mild swelling, or slight bruising at the injection sites. If desired, this can easily be covered with a bit of makeup.
The Botox will gradually be broken down by the body after two to three months. However, the visible effects can often last longer, as the skin has had time to relax and recover.
For a beautiful and long-lasting result, we recommend repeating the treatment at regular intervals. Our doctors will of course give you personalized advice during your visit to the clinic.
