Facial Botox
Overview
Crow’s feet are formed by the orbicularis oculi muscle during smiling and squinting. They are among the earliest dynamic lines to appear on the face, typically becoming visible between the ages of 25 and 30.
The skin around the eye is the thinnest on the body, so the treatment must be superficial and low dose. With the right technique the lines reduce markedly and the gaze opens, while your smile stays entirely natural.
Benefits
- A marked reduction in lines around the eyes
- A more open, rested gaze
- Prevents eye make-up settling into lines
- Your natural smile is preserved
Who Is It For?
- Anyone with pronounced lines at the outer eye when smiling
- Patients with thinning skin around the eyes
