The fine lines that appear at the corners of your eyes when you smile, known as crow’s feet, are often the first signs of aging. While they can reflect a life filled with laughter and emotion, many people prefer to soften their appearance for a smoother, more youthful look. This is where crows feet Botox comes in.
What Are Crow’s Feet?
Crow’s feet, or lateral canthal lines, are the small wrinkles that form at the outer edges of your eyes. They’re caused by repetitive facial expressions like squinting or smiling, combined with natural aging and loss of skin elasticity.
What Is Crows Feet Botox?
Crows feet Botox is a cosmetic injection of botulinum toxin type A into the muscles responsible for these wrinkles. It relaxes the muscles around your eyes, reducing the appearance of lines and preventing them from getting deeper over time.
