Crow’s feet Botox is a popular and effective non-surgical treatment option to smooth the fine lines and wrinkles that appear around the outer corners of your eyes. These lines, also known as lateral canthal lines, are typically caused by repeated facial expressions such as smiling or squinting, and they tend to deepen with age as collagen and elastin levels decline.
At our Botox clinic in Chiswick, treating crow’s feet with Botox is performed with the utmost precision. Although crow’s feet treatment is often considered optional compared to frown lines and forehead Botox, it plays an essential role in overall facial rejuvenation and balance. Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals that lead to the muscle contractions responsible for the formation of crow’s feet lines.

Although crow’s feet are often treated third—after frown lines and forehead Botox—Dr. Bela considers each patient’s aesthetic goals and anatomy during consultation. Some patients like the lines that form when they smile, seeing them as part of their personality. In such cases, Botox injections may be minimal or skipped. Others prefer a smoother eye area, and Botox can reduce the appearance of crow’s feet lines without freezing natural movement.
Botox treatment for crow’s feet may be ideal if you’ve noticed lines and wrinkles around the eye area becoming more pronounced—even when your face is at rest. While these lines can be charming during a smile, over time they may lead to the formation of deeper static wrinkles. Preventative Botox can be an excellent way to reduce the risk of long-term skin creasing and preserve a more youthful appearance.
Dr. Bela has over 15 years of experience delivering Botox for crow’s feet. His technique involves carefully angled Botox injections around the eye area to minimise the risk of bruising and protect delicate vessels. By visualising the anatomy at the outer corner of the eyes and controlling the injection depth, he ensures that the botulinum toxin is delivered precisely at the ideal injection site.
Botox units placed correctly around the outer corners of your eyes can contribute to a subtle lifting effect on the lateral brow. By relaxing the muscles that pull the area down, the opposing muscles are left to lift, creating a brighter, more open look. This effect is especially helpful when used in conjunction with Botox in the forehead and glabella to maintain facial harmony.
Yes. Some individuals, particularly those with puffiness around the eyes in the morning, require adjusted treatment plans. Botox may contribute to the appearance of swelling in some cases, so Dr. Bela takes extra care to tailor the Botox treatment plan accordingly. This level of nuance is key to avoiding complications and maintaining the natural movement of the skin around the eye area.
In some cases, dermal fillers can complement Botox injections to treat deeper wrinkles and restore volume loss around the eye area. Although Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles, filler helps plump the skin and support the soft tissue. Used in conjunction with Botox, dermal fillers enhance the overall outcome, especially when deeper lines remain after muscle relaxation. However, this area requires advanced expertise due to its vascular complexity, and Dr. Bela ensures safe and strategic placement during every treatment.
Over the years, Dr. Bela has identified multiple melanomas on aesthetic patients—often in areas they hadn’t noticed themselves. In one notable case, during a Botox consultation, he spotted a small but suspicious lesion on a patient’s forehead. When reviewing previous treatment photos, it became clear that the melanoma had gradually developed over time, becoming increasingly visible across sessions. Despite its small size, the lesion was already an early invasive melanoma—but was thankfully detected in time. This case is just one of several examples highlighting how melanoma can remain hidden in plain sight. For this reason, Dr. Bela now offers a discounted mole check for all existing aesthetic patients, making it easier to combine cosmetic care with life-saving early detection.
