Crows Feet
Crow’s feet are the fine lines and wrinkles that develop at the outer corners of the eyes. They are often one of the earliest visible signs of skin ageing and become more noticeable with facial expressions such as smiling, laughing, and squinting.
These lines form as a result of repeated muscle movement combined with the natural ageing process. Over time, the skin produces less collagen and elastin, reducing its firmness and elasticity. Environmental factors such as UV exposure, smoking, pollution, and dehydration can accelerate this process, causing lines to become deeper and more permanent. As the delicate skin around the eyes is thinner than the rest of the face, it is particularly vulnerable to the effects of ageing and environmental damage.
Treating crow’s feet focuses on improving skin quality, stimulating collagen production, and softening the appearance of fine lines. Depending on the individual’s skin concerns and treatment goals, options may include medical-grade skincare, microneedling, skin rejuvenation treatments, and injectable anti-wrinkle treatments where appropriate. Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF and targeted eye care also play an essential role in protecting the skin and preventing premature ageing. With a personalised treatment plan, the eye area can appear smoother, brighter, and more youthful while maintaining natural facial expression.
