Crow’s feet are the fine lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes when you smile or squint. They’re softened
with anti-wrinkle injections, which relax the small muscle around the eye so the skin creases less,
while keeping a natural, expressive smile. This guide covers how crow’s feet are treated, what to expect and the cost.

What Causes Crow’s Feet

The muscle that closes the eye (orbicularis oculi) creases the delicate skin at the outer corners every time you
smile or squint. Because eye-area skin is thin and mobile, these lines often appear relatively early, helped along by
sun exposure and the natural loss of collagen.

How They’re Treated

Anti-wrinkle injections relax the
muscle at the outer eye so it creases the skin less, softening the lines while keeping your smile natural. Because the
skin here is delicate, skin-quality treatments such as polynucleotides
can complement the result for crepey texture. The eye area is often treated alongside the
frown and forehead for balance.
