The Art of the Sparkling Eye

Botox for Crow's Feet

Refresh the eye area while keeping your smile warm and natural, using precise Botox placement to soften the fine lines that fan from the outer corners of the eyes.

What it is

A brighter-looking eye area without changing your smile.

Botox, also known as onabotulinumtoxinA, temporarily relaxes the orbicularis oculi muscle around the eye, the muscle that contracts when you smile or squint.

Those repeated contractions create fine lines that fan out from the outer eye corners, known as crow's feet or lateral canthal lines. Botox reduces nerve signaling in the treated area to smooth existing lines and help prevent deeper creasing.

Smile-preserving technique

The goal is a smoother, more rested eye area that still lets your smile look genuine, expressive, and like you.

01 Fine line softening

Targets lines that appear with smiling, squinting, or at rest around the outer eyes.

02 Brighter appearance

Can make the eye area look smoother, more awake, and less tired.

03 Natural expression

Customized dosing helps reduce lines while preserving the warmth of your smile.

Treatment flow

Quick placement around the outer corners of the eyes.

Treatment usually involves a few small, precise injections into the muscle at the outer corner of each eye. The appointment is brief, comfortable for most clients, and designed for minimal downtime. Minor redness or small bumps can happen and often settle quickly.

Results

A rested eye area with smile lines softened, not erased.

Early softening may show in about 3-5 days, with full effect around 10-14 days. Results commonly last 3-4 months, but duration varies based on dose, muscle activity, treatment technique, lifestyle, and individual response.
