Periorbital Lines Treatment (Crow’s Feet)

Periorbital lines, often referred to as crow’s feet or laugh lines, are the fine wrinkles that form around the outer corners of the eyes.

These wrinkles are a common sign of ageing, as the skin around the eyes is thinner and more prone to movement. Over time, frequent facial expressions such as smiling, laughing, and squinting can cause these dynamic wrinkles to become more visible and pronounced.

Why it happens

Crow’s feet develop due to the repeated contraction of the muscles around the eyes. As we age, the skin loses collagen and elasticity, making these lines more noticeable. Sun exposure, environmental stressors, and lifestyle factors such as smoking can further contribute to the formation and deepening of periorbital wrinkles, making them more prominent with time.

The treatments

There are several effective treatments for crow’s feet and periorbital lines, including anti-wrinkle treatments and dermal fillers:

Anti-wrinkle treatments for crow’s feet work by relaxing the muscles around the eyes that cause the fine lines, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin.
Dermal fillers restore lost volume to the skin around the eyes, plumping up deeper lines and smoothing the delicate skin.

Both anti-wrinkle treatments and dermal fillers are minimally invasive treatments that offer natural-looking results with minimal downtime. The effects of anti-wrinkle treatments can last up to 3-4 months, while dermal fillers can last between 6-12 months, depending on the product used.

Recovery time

Recovery after anti-wrinkle treatments or dermal fillers for crow’s feet is generally quick and easy. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects usually subside within a few hours. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment.

My approach

Before starting any crow’s feet treatment, I conduct a detailed consultation to assess your unique facial features. Together, we will decide on the best treatment option for your specific needs, whether that’s anti-wrinkle treatments to relax the muscles or dermal fillers to restore volume and smooth out deeper wrinkles.

I focus on providing personalised, minimally invasive treatments to enhance your natural beauty. My goal is to reduce the appearance of periorbital lines and restore a fresh, youthful look, all while preserving your natural expressions. I also provide tailored aftercare advice to help ensure optimal results and minimise any potential side effects.
