Crows Feet

What is Crow's Feet?

Crow's feet are fine lines or wrinkles that appear at the outer corners of the eyes, often becoming more pronounced with age. These wrinkles are typically caused by repeated facial expressions such as smiling or squinting, which lead to a breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin. Over time, this results in the characteristic pattern of lines that can give a person a more aged appearance.

What are Other Names for Crow's Feet?

Crow's feet are also commonly referred to as "lateral canthal lines" or "periorbital wrinkles". These terms describe the same phenomenon—wrinkles that develop around the eyes—though "crow's feet" is the more widely recognised and used term in everyday language. The alternative names are more technical and may be used in clinical settings.

How Does Crow's Feet Work?

Crow's feet develop due to the natural ageing process, combined with the repetitive movements of facial muscles. As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and the underlying support structures weaken. When we frequently use our facial muscles to smile or squint, the skin around the eyes, which is particularly thin and delicate, begins to crease and form lines. This repeated stress eventually results in the permanent lines known as crow's feet.

EXPECTED RESULTS / BENEFITS
What are the Benefits and Expected Outcomes of Crow's Feet?
Crow's feet themselves do not have direct benefits; rather, they are a natural sign of ageing and repeated facial expressions. The expected outcomes of crow's feet include an indication of years of laughter and smiles, reflecting a life lived with expression. In a broader sense, recognising the presence of crow's feet can also serve as a reminder to consider skin care and preventive measures. While they are often seen as a cosmetic concern, they also highlight the importance of maintaining overall skin health and exploring treatments to manage their appearance if desired.
PREPARATION & AFTERCARE
Crow's Feet Preparation Advice
Before undergoing any treatment for crow's feet, it’s essential to prepare by consulting with a qualified professional to discuss your specific needs and treatment options. Make sure to avoid sun exposure and harsh skincare products in the weeks leading up to your appointment, as these can make your skin more sensitive. Additionally, inform your doctor of any medications or supplements you are taking, as they may impact the treatment's effectiveness or safety.
Crow's Feet Aftercare Advice
After receiving treatment for crow's feet, it is crucial to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your healthcare professional to ensure optimal results. This typically includes avoiding direct sunlight and using a high-SPF sunscreen to protect your skin, as well as refraining from strenuous activities that could exacerbate swelling or redness. Maintaining a good skincare routine, including moisturising and gentle cleansing, can help support healing and enhance the longevity of the treatment’s effects.

Crows Feet Before and After

At our aesthetic clinic, many patients come to us concerned about crow's feet, the fine lines that develop around the eyes and can make you look older or more fatigued. Before treatment, these lines can be quite noticeable, often contributing to an aged or tired appearance.

After receiving our anti-wrinkle treatment, which involves a few targeted Botox injections, you'll see a marked improvement. The injections work by relaxing the muscles that cause these lines, resulting in smoother skin around the eyes. Most patients are thrilled with their refreshed look and the natural enhancement that boosts their confidence and overall appearance.
