Discover how a subtle muscle relaxant opens and softens your gaze, without anyone noticing. With our consultation, we ensure a result that looks like a deep night's sleep, no mask, no stiffness.
Crow's feet, the fine laughter lines around your eyes, tell the story of a life full of emotion. But they can also make you look more tired than you feel. At our clinic in Ghent, we ensure you keep that expression, but with a refreshed, open look. No tight mask, just the appearance of a deep night's sleep.
Crow's feet are expression wrinkles at the corners of the eyes. They develop through repeated contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle around your eyes, every time you laugh, squint, or wink. Over the years, these lines become permanent. Skin aging, collagen loss, and sun exposure also play a role. Starting early can help subtly soften the lines before they deepen.
The active ingredient temporarily blocks nerve signals to the muscles around your eyes. This relaxes them and reduces wrinkling. The effect is purely relaxing; your muscles are not paralyzed, and you can still laugh naturally. The art is determining the exact right dose. That's where our consultation comes in: a personal analysis of your facial expressions and muscle patterns before we create a treatment plan. This keeps your face balanced and you simply look fresher.
A consultation always starts with a conversation about your wishes. During the consultation, we assess the depth of the crow's feet, muscle strength, and your natural facial expression. Then we determine the right approach together. The injections themselves are extremely fine and feel like a light prick. The treatment takes about 15 minutes. You resume your daily activities immediately, no recovery time, just a few mild aftercare guidelines.
The effect sets in after 2 to 7 days, peaking around two weeks. Your crow's feet are clearly softened, but your face continues to move naturally. On average, the result lasts 3 to 4 months. For optimal maintenance, we follow these aftercare steps: avoid rubbing the treated area, do not lie flat for 4 hours, and avoid strenuous exercise and heat (sauna, sun) for 24 hours. This keeps the product nicely in place.
More and more people in their twenties and thirties opt for preventive treatments. Small, low doses can prevent fine lines from developing into deep wrinkles. With our natural approach, we guarantee you never look 'overdone'. It's about preserving your own fresh look.
Treating crow's feet can be done with muscle relaxants, but also with fillers that restore volume, or skin quality improvers like Profhilo. For dynamic wrinkles that are only visible with movement, a relaxant is the best choice. If the lines are already visible at rest due to volume or collagen loss, a combination with a light filler may give a better result. During our consultation, we look at your skin type, age, and expression to advise the right choice, always subtle.
A muscle relaxant is a medical procedure and belongs with a qualified doctor. Our doctors use only A-grade products and sterile technique. Side effects like a small bruise or mild headache are rare and disappear quickly. Drooping eyelids or a lowered eyebrow practically never occur with an experienced doctor. Through precise dosing and correct injection points, we preserve natural expression.
Women and men between 25 and 65 with early to moderate crow's feet who want to refresh their look. It is not suitable during pregnancy, breastfeeding, certain muscle diseases, or hypersensitivity. During the intake interview, we screen your medical history.
By regularly relaxing the muscles, usually every 4 months, the muscles get used to contracting less forcefully. Over time, wrinkles may even become less visible at rest. Many clients notice that after a year of consistent maintenance, they have only minimal lines. It's an investment in your appearance that also works preventively.
