Crow's feet

Fine lines on the outside of the eyes also known as crow's feet These wrinkles are caused by laughing, squinting, and natural skin aging. While these lines can give a warm appearance, they can also make you look tired or older.

At Xavier Clinics we treat crow's feet with botulinum toxin in a subtle and refined way. The goal is a fresher, more open look, without losing your natural smile or expression.

What are crow's feet?

Crow's feet are fine lines that become visible on the sides of the eyes when smiling or squinting. They are caused by:

  • Repetitive muscle movements (orbicularis oculi muscle)

  • Decrease in collagen and elasticity

  • Sun exposure

  • Skin aging

  • Genetic predisposition

Initially they are only visible during movement, but over time they may also remain visible at rest.

How does botulinum toxin work for crow's feet?

Botulinum toxin temporarily relaxes the muscle around the eyes responsible for the formation of crow's feet. This:

  • Soften the lines

  • The skin becomes smoother

  • Makes the look fresher

  • Further deepening of wrinkles is delayed

The treatment is fast, safe and non-surgical.

Consultation with the doctor

Before all treatments, a consultation is scheduled. During this consultation, the doctor will listen to your wishes and explore the options available to achieve them. The doctor will thoroughly inform you about the pre- and aftercare, the expected results, any risks, and the recovery process for the chosen treatment.

The treatment

Once you've chosen to undergo treatment with us, we'll ask you to complete a medical questionnaire and sign a treatment agreement beforehand. If you take a lot of medication, please bring your medication list to your appointment.

Photos will be taken of you both before and after the treatment for your medical records. In some cases, the skin is locally anesthetized with a numbing cream or anesthetic solution before the treatment.

Aftercare

After the treatment, you will receive an aftercare form by email. You do not need to stay at the clinic and can go home immediately. It is common for the skin to be red and swollen after the treatment, and sometimes some bruising may occur. These side effects will disappear on their own. It is important that you cool the treated area well with the cool pack you received, if advised. If you experience severe bruising, we recommend applying Arnica cream to the treated area.

It is recommended that you avoid applying makeup to the treated areas for the first four hours after treatment. Exposure to intense heat (sun, sauna, or tanning bed) is also discouraged for one week after treatment. We advise against having a facial for two weeks after treatment. You can assess the final result after two weeks.

If you have any questions about your recovery, please feel free to contact us.

Risks

The risk of complications is very small. As with any procedure, there is a small risk of infection or allergy.
