Crow's feet

Crow’s feet are lateral canthal lines that become more visible with smiling and repeated orbicularis oculi activity. They are a common aesthetic use context for botulinum toxin type A and a useful example of why facial anatomy matters.

Crow’s feet are commonly discussed with type A aesthetic brands such as Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. Product-specific labels and regional approvals still matter, especially when a product is approved for one aesthetic indication but not another in a given market.

Crow’s feet sit at the boundary between familiar aesthetic treatment and functionally important periocular anatomy. The same general region also appears in therapeutic discussions such as blepharospasm, but the treatment goal is different.

That distinction keeps the page from becoming a beauty article. The key reference question is how dynamic facial lines, periocular anatomy, product-specific units, and label context fit together.

TopicWhy it matters
Lateral canthal anatomySmall changes near the eye can be visible and functionally noticeable.
Smile patternThe target is tied to facial animation, not only static skin texture.
Product specificityFamiliar type A brands should not be treated as interchangeable.
Neighboring indicationsCrow’s feet and blepharospasm may involve nearby anatomy but different goals.
