Crow’s Feet Botulinum Toxin Treatment in Singapore
Bothered by eye wrinkles? Wish to reduce the crow’s feet at the corner of your eyes? Botulinum Toxin treatment is the right solution. Botox temporarily relaxes the target muscle by blocking the signals from the nerves to the muscle. It prevents the contraction of the muscle and helps reduce crow’s feet.
During your initial consultation, we will discuss your needs and areas of concern. We will suggest a customized Botulinum Toxin treatment plan, that includes the areas to be treated and the amount of Botulinum Toxin required.
What is Crow's Feet Botulinum Toxin?
Eye Wrinkles or Wrinkles around the eye form over time due to frequent contraction of the orbicularis muscle which help you “smile with your eyes”.
The term “Crow’s feet” comes about because the wrinkles and lines around the eyes radiate outwards in a fashion that resembles a crow’s feet.
Crows Feet Eye Botulinum Toxin improves these lines by relaxing the muscles around the eye.
What Causes Crow's Feet?
We develop crow’s feet/eye wrinkles/smile lines naturally with aging. When we smile, we use the outside part of our orbicularis oculi muscle causing crow’s feet to occur. Due to the loss of elastic tissue and natural collagen in our skin, the crow’s feet etch in permanently. These fine lines are there even when we are not smiling.
To overcome this issue, we suggest crow’s feet Botulinum Toxin treatment at our Singapore-based clinic. Dr. Edwin will evaluate your facial muscles and suggest a suitable treatment plan according to your needs.
How Long Does the Eye Botulinum Toxin Treatment Last?
In most cases, the results of crow’s feet Botulinum Toxin treatment will last up to four months. However, the exact amount of time your results will last depends on various factors:
Your Eye Botulinum Toxin Treatment Plan
Depending on the Botulinum Toxin treatment plan you choose, the Botulinum Toxin results can vary.
The more the Botulinum Toxin unit is injected into the affected area, the longer the results will last.
Please Note: We can only inject a certain amount of units in one sitting.
Your Muscle Strength
If your facial muscles are strong especially in the area around your eyes, these may be more resistant to crow’s feet Botulinum Toxin treatment.
The strong facial muscles delay the relaxing of the facial muscles. This, in turn, results in delayed achievement of desired results.
Follow-up Treatment
With our follow-up crow’s feet Botulinum Toxin treatments at our clinic in Singapore, it is possible to maintain longer results.
Some patients can enjoy the Botulinum Toxin treatment results for up to 6 to 8 months with regular care and consistent follow-up schedules.
Botulinum Toxin is injected into the target muscle using extremely tiny needles.
The sensation feels like small ant bites.
Before injection, Dr Edwin will discuss with you the dosage and points of injection for the best results.
Dr Edwin prefers a natural look with Botulinum Toxin.
Is Crows Feet Eye Botulinum Toxin painful?
Cold ice will be applied to the area just before injection to minimise discomfort and reduce the risk of bruising.
Whilst the thought of injections may be scary for Botulinum Toxin first timers, good hands and proper injection technique will significantly reduce pain and discomfort.
What can I expect after Crows Feet Eye Botulinum Toxin treatment?
After treatment, small Botulinum Toxin “bumps” may be observed at the injection sites.
These “bumps” will disappear in 2 to 4 hours and patients are advised not to apply pressure on these bumps.
Some patients may experience small bruises especially when injecting around delicate areas such as the eye.
It is recommended to apply our Intensive Recovery Cream post procedure and most bruises will subside after 5 to 7 days.
When can Crows Feet Eye Botulinum Toxin results be seen?
Botulinum Toxin results will be seen after 3 to 7 days with the improvement of wrinkles & fine lines.
An ultra-fine needle is injected into the muscles surrounding the eye, targeting the orbicularis-oculi. Contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle leads to the formation of crow’s feet. The Botulinum Toxin injection blocks the nerve signals to the muscle, causing muscle relaxation which results in improvement of the crow’s feet with smooth, youthful skin around the eyes.
Will Botulinum Toxin fix crow’s feet permanently?
Unfortunately, no! Botulinum Toxin cannot fix crow’s feet permanently. However, with proper follow-ups, it is possible to maintain results of Botulinum Toxin treatment for longer periods. Most people can enjoy the results of Botulinum Toxin treatment for up to 5 to 6 months with proper follow-ups and regular treatments.
How is crow’s feet Botulinum Toxin treatment performed?
Once Dr Edwin formulates your customised botox treatment plan, we will take you to one of our procedure rooms. After you’re settled in the treatment chair, Dr Edwin will clean your face to remove any lotion, oil or residue.
Next, he will ask you to smile, frown, or laugh to mark the injection sites. Cold ice is applied to the area right before injection to numb the area and minimise the chances of swelling and bruising. Then, Botulinum Toxin is injected carefully using a fine needle near your crow’s feet.
