Botox for crow's feet

Crow's feet, the fine lines beside your eyes, come from years of smiling and squinting. Nothing wrong with that, but if they deepen or stay visible when you're not smiling, Botox can help. Botox around the eyes can make your look softer and fresher, while your smile stays yours.

SMART SCIENCE

How does Botox for crow's feet work?

Crow's feet are caused by the muscle around your eye, which tenses when you smile and squint. Botox partly relaxes this muscle, so it contracts less strongly.

The result: the skin around your eyes looks calmer, smoother and fresher, while your natural expressions are preserved. Your smile doesn't change, only the lines that come with it become less deep.

Demand for this treatment mainly grows from your early thirties, when the first lines stay visible even when your face is at rest.

Who is this suitable for?

  • Lines that stay. Your crow's feet aren't only visible when smiling, but also when your face is relaxed.

  • A fresh looking eye area. You notice the lines around your eyes give you a more tired impression than you feel.

  • Preference for a subtle approach. You want a fresher look without anyone being able to tell you've had something done.

How the treatment works at Soap

  1. Consult. You discuss your wishes with the doctor, who assesses your skin and expressions and gives personal advice.

  2. The treatment. With a fine needle the doctor places several small injections beside the eyes, and you're done within a quarter of an hour.

  3. The result. You can simply carry on with your day, and the effect builds gradually over the following days.

SEE THE CHANGE

Before and after: what can you expect?

The first changes are usually visible within 3 to 5 days, with the full result after about 2 weeks. The crow's feet are then clearly softened, but your expression stays natural: you keep smiling, just without the lines setting so deeply into the skin.

With deeper or longer standing lines the doctor may suggest a combination with filler or a skinbooster, for extra support or improved skin quality alongside the Botox effect.

HOW LONG IT LASTS

How long does the result stay visible?

The result of Botox for crow's feet lasts three to six months on average. After that muscle activity gradually increases again and the lines slowly return.

Want to keep the effect? Then simply have the treatment again. During your next consult the doctor checks whether the same plan still suits you best.

Downsides and risks

  • Mild, temporary side effects. Redness or a small bruise at the injection sites can occur, and usually disappears quickly.

  • No instant result. The effect only shows properly after a few days, so don't expect a change right after the treatment.

  • Deeper lines sometimes need an addition. Botox alone isn't always enough then, and a combination with filler or skinbooster gives the best result.
