Gentle crow's feet smoothing
Crow's feet are fine, often radial wrinkles that form around the outer corners of the eyes. They are caused by repeated facial movements, such as laughing, blinking or squinting. This is why they are also called "laugh lines". Over time, these wrinkles become deeper and more visible, especially when the skin loses elasticity due to the natural aging process.
The appearance of crow's feet can be distressing for some people as they can make the face look tired or older. To reduce the appearance of crow's feet, the use of muscle relaxants is one solution.

Treatment at a Glance
The treatment
The procedure is performed by a qualified doctor. Before treatment, the specialist carries out a comprehensive examination to determine the individual needs and the optimal dosage of the muscle relaxant for the patient.
The actual treatment usually only takes a few minutes and is carried out with tiny injections directly into the muscles around the eyes. The targeted injection temporarily inhibits the activity of the muscles responsible for the formation of crow's feet.
The muscle relaxant blocks the nerve impulses that normally cause muscles to contract. This causes the treated muscles to relax and reduces excessive wrinkling in the affected area.
The results of the treatment usually begin to become visible after a few days and reach their peak after about two weeks. The smoothing of crow's feet usually lasts for several months before a touch-up treatment is required to maintain the result.
