Which specialist treats crow's feet?

Crow's feet are lines at the outer corners of the eyes that can become more visible with smiling or squinting and may remain at rest as skin changes. A clinician examines the lines while your face is relaxed and moving, then checks eyelid position, skin quality, sun exposure, and previous procedures. This separates movement-related lines from broader [Fine Lines](/symptoms/fine-lines/) and [Wrinkles](/symptoms/wrinkles/) that may need a different approach.

Start with a dermatologist or doctor experienced in facial aesthetic care. Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen, sunglasses, and a moisturiser can reduce ongoing environmental stress on delicate skin. Depending on the pattern, a clinician may discuss [Botox](/treatments/injectables/botulinum-toxin-injection/) for movement-related lines or [Fractional Laser Treatment](/treatments/laser-and-energy/fractional-laser-treatment/) for selected texture concerns. Ask who performs the treatment, what alternatives exist, and how the eye area will be protected.

Seek medical assessment rather than an aesthetic appointment if lines appear suddenly with facial weakness, eyelid drooping, unequal pupils, vision change, severe headache, or facial swelling. After a procedure, obtain prompt advice for worsening pain, marked swelling, skin colour change, or any vision symptom. These features need evaluation because they are not routine cosmetic concerns.

Ask whether your lines are mainly caused by muscle movement or surface texture, what result is realistic, how long effects may last, and which side effects need urgent attention. Ask whether your medicines, pregnancy plans, eye conditions, or prior injections affect suitability.
