What are crow’s feet?

Lateral Canthal Lines – or Crow’s Feet – are fine lines that form at the sides of your eyes. They are also known as “laugh lines” because they usually appear when we smile.

Botulinum toxin injections are the best way to get rid of wrinkled crow’s feet without going under the knife. In fact, ‘crow’s feet‘ is a term used to describe the noticeable lines that form around the corners of your eyes. As we age, the number of these lines increases. But sometimes, even this natural look can make people feel older than they are.

Luckily, modern medicine has come up with a great solution. What’s the secret? Yep, of course – Botox injections for crow’s feet!

Why do crow’s feet appear?

Fine wrinkles can form over time for the following reasons:

  • Frequent facial expressions such as smiling, squinting and laughing.
  • Loss of skin firmness with age.
  • Sun exposure.
  • Genetics.
  • Lifestyle factors such as smoking or poor skincare.

Does Botox really work for crow’s feet in Turkey?

Yes, it is a treatment that lasts for a few months. It is a temporary solution for wrinkles around the eyes. Doctors often use Botox® to relax the muscles around the eyes. Botox doesn’t “fill in” wrinkles like dermal fillers; instead, it reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement. When it blocks muscle contractions, it can prevent fine lines and wrinkles from forming.

How long does Botox last in crows feet?

Botox usually lasts six months for most areas of the face. However, Botox injections for crow’s feet typically last 3 to 4 months. Botox may not last as long in the area around the eyes because these muscles are used more frequently than almost any other area. Please note that dosage is a crucial factor in determining the longevity of Botox injections. Other factors that affect the duration include muscle strength, metabolic differences and touch-ups. 

How often can you get Botox for crow’s feet in Turkey?

 Patients typically schedule touch-ups three to four times a year. It is generally considered safe and effective to inject every 12 weeks. Please avoid over-injection. Injecting more frequently than recommended can lead to a ‘frozen’ appearance. Regular treatments can extend results over time as the muscles weaken.

Does Botox for crow’s feet change eye shape?

Your eye area will look smoother and more youthful. Your skin appears more taut, you may have a slight “cat-eye” look.However, if the injections aren’t placed properly, it’s possible to experience mild eyelid drooping due to over-relaxed muscles. The good news is, this effect is temporary. As the Botox gradually wears off, your eyes should return to their normal appearance.

How painful is Botox for crow’s feet?

The treatment lasts a max of 15 minutes. You might feel a bit of a burning sensation during this time. The syringe might hurt a bit, but it’s nothing to worry about. If it hurts, don’t make any sudden moves. Just let your doctor know and they’ll be careful with it. It’s more about a mild level of pain.
