Crow's feet are the fine lines that form when smiling — and are actually a sign of joie de vivre. They only become problematic when they remain visible at rest, lending the face a tired expression. At minimal med, we treat the periorbital region so that the dynamic smile lines become subtly softer without touching the authentic smile.

The Dynamics of Smiling
The orbicularis oculi muscle and its role in the genuine (Duchenne) smile. Why these lines carry positive cultural connotations. Dynamic vs. static lines: we treat the resting lines, not the smile lines.
Baby Dosing in the Periorbital Area
Micro-dosing with few units, because small amounts show significant effect here. The importance of precise placement for a natural result. Why the eye area requires particular caution.
Open look, natural laughter
I often tell my patients: We don't want to eliminate crow's feet — we want to soften the resting lines and keep the eye open when laughing. Whether for photos or a radiantly open look in everyday life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still laugh normally?
Yes, absolutely! The goal is to reduce the lines, not freeze your expressions. You will continue to laugh naturally - just without deep wrinkles.
Will my eyes look smaller?
No, not with correct technique. I only treat the outer area, not the lower eye muscle. This keeps the eye opening natural.
Can crow's feet be combined with other treatments?
Yes, very well. The combination with forehead and frown lines is very popular - the so-called "upper face third". Package prices are often available.
At what age can crow's feet be treated?
As soon as the lines bother you and are visible at rest. This is very individual - some come at 30, others not until 50.
Are there risks with the treatment?
With correct technique, risks are minimal. Slight redness or small bruises at injection sites are possible but fade quickly.
What does crow's feet treatment cost?
Treatment starts from 199 EUR. It is often combined with forehead and frown lines - ask about our combination offers.
