Crow's Feet Botox in Seongsu, Seoul
Softening smile lines at the outer eyes while keeping a natural, warm expression
Crow's feet are the fan of fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes that appear when you smile or squint. At Seongsu Melting Clinic in Seongsu, Seoul, Dr. Park Kyung-min treats them with small, precise doses of Botox so your eyes still crinkle warmly when you laugh.
It is a quick treatment, but the eye area is delicate and deserves careful planning.
What is crow's feet Botox?
The orbicularis oculi is a ring-shaped muscle around the eye that closes the eyelids and helps form a smile. Its outer part folds the skin into radiating lines. Botulinum toxin placed in this outer section relaxes it slightly, softening the lines.
Crow's feet can be dynamic (only visible when you smile) or static (visible at rest). Dynamic lines usually respond well. Static lines involve thinner, less elastic skin and may need extra support from skin boosters. Sun damage and dryness can also deepen these lines, so daily sunscreen and moisturizing help.
How we approach crow's feet Botox at Seongsu Melting Clinic
Dr. Park watches you smile fully and relax, looking at where the lines start and end and whether they extend down onto the cheek. He places small amounts at a safe distance from the eye, using genuine products at exact doses.
If the skin under the eyes is thin or crepey, he may suggest a regeneration booster such as Rejuran as a complementary step. He will also tell you if some lines are coming from cheek movement rather than the eye muscle, since treating those too aggressively can change your smile.
A good fit if…
- You have lines at the outer eyes when you smile or squint
- You want a refreshed look while keeping expression
- Your lines are early to moderate
- You are fine with repeating treatment every few months
Consider something else if…
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have a neuromuscular disorder
- You have an eye infection or irritation
- Your main concern is under-eye hollowness or dark circles (other treatments fit better)
What to expect
After an explanation, injections take a few minutes. The pinch is small, and the team talks you through it. Small bruises can appear in this area because the skin is thin; they usually fade within days.
Softening starts within several days and settles over about two weeks. Results typically last a few months. Pricing is explained at consultation.
Aftercare
- Avoid rubbing your eyes or pressing on the area that day
- Stay upright for a few hours
- Skip saunas, heavy exercise and alcohol on treatment day
- Use a cold compress gently if you notice a small bruise
- Contact the clinic if your eyelid or smile feels different after two weeks
A note from Dr. Park
Dr. Park often explains that a natural smile depends on balance around the eyes and cheeks. His standard is genuine products at the exact dose, and he would rather keep doses modest near the eyes and add later than overcorrect a patient's expression.
Frequently asked questions
Will I still look like myself when I smile?
That is the aim. Small, careful doses soften lines while keeping your smile's warmth.
How long does crow's feet Botox last?
Usually a few months, varying by person and dose.
Can I combine crow's feet Botox with forehead or frown lines?
Yes. Many patients treat several upper-face areas in one visit, which Dr. Park plans together for balance.
