Treatment room for Botox and injectables at Umi Clinic, Myeongdong — **About 10 min** Softer eye lines within 2 weeks

Quick answer

What is crow’s feet Botox?

Crow’s feet Botox places small amounts of botulinum toxin into the outer part of the orbicularis oculi, the ring muscle around the eye. Relaxing it reduces the lines that fan out when you smile or squint.

The aim is to soften the lines, not stop you smiling, so doses are modest and kept a safe distance from the eye. For crepey under-eye skin, it pairs well with Rejuran Healer or other skin boosters.

Your visit

How Crow’s Feet Botox works at Umi

Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.

Smile check
The doctor watches your full smile and squint to see where lines form and how far they extend.
Mapping
Usually 2–4 points per side are chosen along the outer eye, away from the cheek muscles.
Injections
Very small, shallow doses with an ultra-fine needle; a few seconds per point.
Aftercare
Avoid rubbing your eyes, eye massage and saunas for the rest of the day.

Before & after

How Botox softens crow’s feet

A gently relaxed eye muscle folds the thin skin at the outer eye less, so smile lines look finer while your expression stays natural.

FAQ

Crow’s Feet Botox questions

Will Botox change my smile?

When doses are modest and placed correctly, your smile stays natural. Over-treating near the cheek can affect it, which is why placement is kept conservative.

Is it safe so close to the eyes?

Yes, when done by a trained doctor. Injections are placed outside the bony eye rim and kept shallow.

Can it fix under-eye wrinkles?

It mainly helps lines at the outer corner. Fine under-eye creases usually respond better to skin boosters or gentle laser.

Can I wear sunglasses after?

Yes. Just avoid pressing on the injected areas for the first few hours.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
