Introduction to Crow’s Feet and BOTOX®
Crow’s feet develop due to repeated facial expressions, sun exposure, and the natural aging process. While they are a normal sign of aging, many of our clients seek BOTOX® to smooth crow’s feet and rejuvenate the eye area without surgery.
Many people find that even small improvements around the eye area can have a noticeable effect on overall facial appearance. BOTOX® provides a targeted, non-surgical solution that not only smooths existing lines but can also help prevent new wrinkles from forming, creating a refreshed and more confident look.
How BOTOX® Works To Reduce Crow’s Feet
BOTOX® is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the tiny muscles around the eyes responsible for dynamic wrinkles. Crow’s feet are considered dynamic wrinkles, meaning they appear with facial movement rather than at rest. Over time, repeated contractions of these muscles cause lines to deepen and become more noticeable.
By preventing repeated contractions near crow’s feet, BOTOX® smooths existing lines and helps slow the formation of new ones. This targeted approach ensures results are subtle and rejuvenating rather than frozen or artificial, allowing your natural expressions to remain intact. At Body+Beauty Lab, our treatments are precisely tailored to each patient’s facial structure, ensuring an optimal outcome.

These advantages make BOTOX® a popular choice for clients seeking effective, non-surgical wrinkle reduction with results tailored to their individual needs.
What To Expect During a BOTOX® Treatment for Crow’s Feet
Your BOTOX® session at Body+Beauty Lab is quick and minimally invasive. After a consultation, small, precise injections are administered around the outer corners of the eyes. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch, but discomfort is minimal. Our team ensures your comfort throughout the process and carefully targets each area for natural-looking results.
Minor redness or swelling may occur after treatment, but these mild side effects typically resolve quickly. Most sessions take under 30 minutes, and you can return to your normal activities right after your appointment.
How Long BOTOX® Results Last for Crow’s Feet
Results usually appear within 3-7 days, with full effects visible in about 2 weeks. With consistent treatments, many clients notice that their skin remains smoother over time, and new lines form more slowly. Full results last approximately 3-4 months, and following your provider’s aftercare instructions can help them last as long as possible. Regular follow-ups can maintain long-term improvements and help prevent new crow’s feet from forming.
Frequently Asked Questions
