Botox for Crow’s Feet: Dr Ahmed’s Go-To for Softer, Brighter Eyes
If you’re looking to soften the fine lines that appear around your eyes when you smile or squint, it’s time to see one of Dr Ahmed’s favourite injectable treatments: Botox for crow’s feet. These fine lines - also known as lateral canthal lines - are one of the earliest signs of ageing, but with expertly placed injections, you can restore smoother skin texture and a more youthful appearance in minutes.
This subtle, non-surgical cosmetic treatment offers visible results without downtime, helping to maintain brightness and balance around the eyes while preventing deeper creasing in the future.
What Are Crow’s Feet—and Why Do They Form?
Crow’s feet are the small, branching facial lines that appear at the outer corners of the eyes. They’re caused by repeated muscle contractions over time - think smiling, squinting, frowning - and become more visible as collagen production declines and the skin loses elasticity. Other contributing factors include:
- Frequent sun exposure
- Genetics
- Environmental stressors
- The naturally delicate skin and thin layer of skin around the eyes
The formation of crow’s feet can be more noticeable than other dynamic wrinkles, often appearing earlier than forehead lines or smile lines, which is why many patients choose to treat them proactively with popular treatments like Botox.
How Botox Treats Crow’s Feet
Botox - also known as a botulinum toxin injection - works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for squinting and smiling, particularly the orbicularis oculi. By reducing excess muscle activity, Botox softens the appearance of crow’s feet and allows the surrounding skin to look smoother, fresher, and more youthful.
Clinical research, including studies published in PMC, confirms that Botox is an effective treatment for crow’s feet, improving the appearance of wrinkles and offering high patient satisfaction with minimal risk.
What to Expect During Treatment
At The Aesthetics Doctor, your treatment begins with an initial consultation. We’ll:
• Review your medical history and skin type
• Assess your facial structure and muscle movement
• Map out a bespoke treatment plan with precise injection points for a natural result
The procedure itself is quick - typically 10–15 minutes - and involves a few small injections using ultra-fine needles. Most patients describe the sensation as a light pinch, and are able to resume their day immediately following the cosmetic procedure.
When Will You See Results—and How Long Do They Last?
You may begin to notice improvement within 3–5 days, with full results visible by day 10–14. Botox typically lasts around 3–4 months, depending on:
• The strength of your facial muscles
• Your skin texture, collagen levels, and natural skin conditions
• Lifestyle factors such as sun exposure or stress
With regular anti-wrinkle injections, many clients find that their laugh lines and crow’s feet return more softly over time - making Botox an excellent choice for both the treatment of crow’s feet and long-term prevention of the formation of wrinkles.
Is Botox for Crow’s Feet Right for You?
This treatment may be ideal if you:
• Have mild to moderate crow’s feet lines or static lines
• Want to prevent deeper facial lines from forming
• Are seeking a cosmetic treatment without surgery or downtime
• Prefer subtle, natural-looking improvements
• Are in good health with realistic expectations
Dr Ahmed will always advise if Botox alone is the right approach, or whether you may benefit from additional treatment options such as dermal fillers, skin boosters, or targeted eye care for deeper frown lines or nasolabial folds.
What Are the Side Effects or Risks?
Like all injectable treatments, side effects are typically minimal but may include:
• Mild redness or swelling at the injection site
• Temporary bruising or light discomfort
• Rarely, slight asymmetry or drooping of the eyelid (which resolves as the Botox wears off)
Choosing qualified medical professionals and experienced injectors like Dr Ahmed is the best way to ensure a safe procedure and optimal results. We’ll also provide detailed aftercare advice and schedule a follow-up appointment if needed.

How to Make Lip Fillers Last Longer
Lip fillers are a popular cosmetic enhancement designed to restore volume, improve definition, and create a fuller, more balanced pout. The lifespan of lip fillers varies based on the type of filler used, metabolic rate, and lifestyle choices.
