Crow’s feet are the fine lines that radiate from the outer corners of the eyes. They are also known as lateral canthal lines or sometimes smile lines around the eyes.

Crow’s feet are small lines that extend outward from the corners of the eyes. In clinical terminology, they are commonly referred to as lateral canthal lines. If lines between the eyebrows are also a concern, you can read about frown lines anti-wrinkle injections in London.
These lines are strongly associated with facial movement. The orbicularis oculi muscle surrounds the eye and contributes to blinking, squinting and expressions such as smiling. Repeated movement of the skin over this muscle contributes to the characteristic fan-shaped lines seen around the outer eye area.
Ageing, sun exposure, genetics and changes in collagen and skin elasticity can also influence how noticeable crow’s feet become.
Crow’s Feet, Smile Lines & Lateral Canthal Lines
The appearance of lines around the outer eyes varies considerably between individuals and may change depending on whether the face is relaxed or moving.
Dynamic Crow’s Feet
Dynamic lines become more noticeable during expressions such as smiling or squinting and may be much less visible while the face is relaxed.
Static Eye Lines
Over time, some lines may remain visible even when the muscles around the eyes are relaxed. Skin ageing and sun exposure can contribute to their appearance.
Lateral Canthal Lines
Lateral canthal lines is the clinical term commonly used to describe the fan-shaped crow’s feet lines extending from the outer corners of the eyes.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections for Crow’s Feet
People researching anti-wrinkle injections for crow’s feet are usually concerned about dynamic lines that become more noticeable when smiling or squinting.
Injectable muscle-relaxing treatments may be considered for certain dynamic facial lines. Because the eye area contains important muscles and structures, professional assessment and individual treatment planning are important.
Medical history, previous treatments, facial movement, eye-area anatomy and individual suitability should be considered before any prescription treatment is discussed.

Why Assessment of Crow’s Feet Matters
Crow’s feet do not look identical from one person to another. Some people have predominantly upper lines, others have lower lines, while some develop a wider fan-shaped pattern around the lateral eye area.
The appearance of the lines can also differ between smiling and resting. This distinction helps a practitioner understand how much of the concern is associated with facial movement and how much may relate to established skin changes.

Dynamic vs Established Crow’s Feet
One of the important distinctions when assessing facial wrinkles is whether the lines are dynamic or static.
Dynamic crow’s feet become particularly visible when the muscles around the eyes contract. Static or established lines remain noticeable when the face is relaxed.
A person may have a combination of both. For this reason, an individual assessment is more informative than judging the eye area from a single photograph.
