About The Treatment
"Crow's feet"—the fine lines that fan out from the corners of your eyes when you smile—are charming to a point. But over time, they can etch deeply into the skin, making you look tired or older than you feel.
Our Knoxville clinic specializes in subtle eye rejuvenation. By relaxing the orbicularis oculi muscle (the circular muscle around the eye), we can smooth these lines significantly while still allowing your eyes to crinkle naturally when you smile. The result is a brighter, more open-eyed appearance.
Why Treat Crow's Feet?
- Look More Rested: Open up the eye area for a more awake look.
- Prevent Deep Etching: Stop dynamic lines from becoming permanent static wrinkles.
- Subtle Lift: Strategic placement can provide a slight lift to the tail of the brow.
- Painless: Using ultra-fine needles, this area is virtually painless to treat.
Common Questions
Will I still look like myself when I smile?
Absolutely. Our goal is to soften the lines, not freeze your expression. Your eyes will still convey emotion, just with fewer deep creases.
How many units for crow's feet?
Typical dosing is 6-12 units per eye (12-24 units total). Men or patients with stronger muscles may need slightly more.
Can this help with under-eye wrinkles?
Botox is fantastic for the outer corners (lateral canthal lines). For true under-eye crepiness or hollows, we might recommend dermal fillers or skin resurfacing treatments in conjunction with Botox.
