Quick answer
What are crow's feet and how are they treated?
Crow's feet are the fan-shaped lines at the outer corners of the eyes. They start as expression lines from the orbicularis oculi muscle when you smile or squint, then stay visible at rest as the thin eye-area skin loses collagen and is exposed to sun.
Botulinum toxin is the main treatment for expression-driven lines — see crow's feet Botox. Lines that remain at rest, or crepey texture, improve with skin boosters, Laser Genesis or fractional laser.

FAQ
Crow's feet questions
Will Botox for crow's feet change my smile?
When dosed carefully, no. The aim is to soften the lines while keeping a warm, natural smile.
What if my crow's feet show even at rest?
Botox helps, but etched lines often also need skin boosters, Laser Genesis or fractional laser to rebuild collagen.
How soon will I see results?
Botox starts working in 3–5 days, with the full effect at about two weeks, so treat early in a longer trip if you can.
Is it safe so close to the eyes?
Yes, in experienced hands. Injection points are placed outside the bony eye rim to avoid affecting other muscles.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
