Smooth out crow's feet with Botox

Crow's feet are the narrow, fan shaped lines that form in the skin at the outer corners of the eyes. The name refers to the shape, which resembles the footprint of a crow.

You mainly see crow's feet with facial expressions: when smiling, squinting against bright light or frowning. At first they're barely visible at rest, but as your skin becomes less elastic they stay a little visible without movement too.

At Soap we treat crow's feet with Botox, also known as botulinum toxin type A. It temporarily relaxes the small ring muscle around your eye, so the lines become softer.

Crow's feet develop through a combination of factors. Repeated muscle movement around your eye, such as smiling and squinting, keeps creating the same small fold in the skin. Over time that fold becomes a permanent line.

Skin ageing also plays a big role. As you get older, your skin produces less collagen and elastin, so the skin around your eyes, which is naturally thinner, becomes less resilient.

Sunlight speeds up this process considerably: many people get crow's feet sooner on the side most exposed to sun, for example while driving. Genetics and skin type play a part too.

A Botox treatment for crow's feet at Soap always starts with a free consult. One of our doctors looks at the corners of your eyes and your expressions, and creates a tailored treatment plan.

The treatment itself usually takes just a few minutes. With a fine needle we place small amounts of Botox at the outer corner of the eye, exactly where the ring muscle causes the lines.

You often see the first effects after a few days, and the full result is visible after about 2 weeks. On average the effect lasts 3 to 4 months, after which you can repeat the treatment.

A mini treatment at Soap starts from €95. See the full crow's feet treatment for all options.

Many clients combine crow's feet with a treatment for their frown line, because both zones often move together with facial expressions. Read more about our frown line treatment.

Also bothered by excessive sweating, for example around your forehead? Botox can be an option for that too: discuss it in your free consult, or read more about Botox for excessive sweating.

The eye corner area calls for precision: too much Botox can make your smile feel unnatural. That's why at Soap we work according to our No Trace Face® philosophy, with small, carefully dosed amounts.

Our 35+ BIG registered cosmetic doctors have extensive experience with Botox around the eye corners. During the free consult you discuss your wishes, and you can often be treated the same day.
