Abstract
Crow’s feet injection is one of the simplest and most satisfying applications of botulinum toxin. The radiating dermal crow’s feet lines result from the concentric constriction of the underlying orbital and preseptal orbicularis oculi muscle. Orbicularis oculi injections of botulinum toxin diminishes both active and static crow’s feet rhytids, may prophylactically delay the onset and progression of such wrinkles, and improves final outcome following ablative periocular resurfacing.
