contents We present a comprehensive investigation into the anomalous magnetic dipole moment ($a_τ$) and electric dipole moment ($d_τ$) of the $τ$ lepton using the $γγ\to τ^+τ^-$ process at future lepton colliders, with the Super Tau-Charm Facility serving as a benchmark. By employing transverse-momentum-dependent factorization, we introduce novel observables derived from $\cos2ϕ$, $\sin2ϕ$, and $\cos4ϕ$ azimuthal asymmetries to precisely probe the $τ$ lepton's electromagnetic structure. Our analysis significantly enhances the precision of $a_τ$ constraints within the photon-photon fusion process, yielding $\mathrm{Re}(a_τ) \in [-4.6, 7.0] \times 10^{-3}$ at the $2σ$ confidence level, which approaches the precision of the Standard Model prediction. These findings highlight the considerable potential of azimuthal asymmetry measurements for high-precision determinations of fundamental particle properties at future lepton colliders.
