Botox for Crow's Feet

• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment
• Pause non-essential blood-thinning supplements for a few days where safe
• Arrive with clean skin and no eye make-up on the area
• Allow two weeks before any special occasion
• Mention any history of dry eyes or previous eye-area treatments

Your practitioner will ask you to smile so the lines and muscle can be mapped. After cleansing the skin, two to three tiny injections are placed at the outer corner of each eye using a very fine needle. Each feels like a brief pinch, and the appointment usually takes under ten minutes. No anaesthetic is needed and you can return to normal activities immediately with the usual aftercare.

None

• Stay upright for four hours after treatment

• Attend a two-week review if any fine-tuning is wanted
