Crow's Feet: causes and treatment

Crow's Feet

Crow’s feet, also referred to as lateral canthal lines, are the fine wrinkles that form around the outer corners of the eyes. Often known as laugh lines or character lines, these wrinkles are a natural part of ageing but can become more pronounced due to various factors, such as repeated facial expressions, sun damage, and lifestyle habits.

At Oracle Clinics, we provide effective treatments, including Botox injections, to reduce the appearance of crow’s feet and help restore a smoother, more youthful look.

What Are Crow’s Feet?

Crow’s feet are a common type of dynamic wrinkles, caused by repeated muscle contractions during facial expressions like smiling or squinting. Over time, these repetitive movements, combined with environmental and lifestyle factors, lead to visible lines in the delicate skin around the eyes.

Key Causes of Crow’s Feet

Facial Expressions: Constant movement of the facial muscles when laughing, smiling, or squinting.

Loss of Skin Elasticity: Natural ageing reduces collagen and elastin, making skin less able to bounce back after movement.

Environmental Factors: Sun exposure and pollution contribute to premature skin ageing.

Lifestyle Choices: Smoking, poor skincare routines, and stress can accelerate wrinkle formation.

Other contributing factors include your skin type, genetic predisposition, and the natural decline of the skin’s repair mechanisms with age.

WHY CHOOSE BOTOX FOR CROW’S FEET?

Botox treatments are widely regarded as one of the most effective options for reducing the appearance of crow’s feet. Botox, derived from botulinum toxin type A, works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for creating wrinkles, leading to smoother, younger-looking skin.

How Botox Works

When injected into specific facial muscles, Botox blocks the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. By reducing the activity of these muscles, the skin around the eyes appears smoother, with fewer visible lines.

Benefits of Botox for Crow’s Feet

Reduces the appearance of wrinkles while maintaining natural expressions.

Targets the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles without affecting surrounding areas.

Provides noticeable improvements within days, with results lasting several months.

Minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for busy lifestyles.

At Oracle Clinics, every Botox treatment begins with a personalised consultation. Our medical practitioners focus on creating a bespoke treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Step-by-Step Process

Consultation:

We assess your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns, and review your medical history to ensure Botox is the right option for you.

Preparation:

A topical anaesthetic may be applied to minimise discomfort during the procedure.

Injection:

Precise doses of botulinum toxin are administered into targeted areas using fine needles. Common injection sites for crow’s feet include the muscles around the outer corners of the eyes.

Aftercare Guidance:

Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to maximise results and minimise potential side effects.
