Fine lines and wrinkles that form from creases around the exterior corners of the eyes are typically referred to as 'crow's feet'
What is it?
Crow's feet, occasionally called smile lines or personality lines, are a common indicator of aging. They appear as small creases around the exterior corners of the eyes. These lines develop due to years of facial expressions such as laughing, furrowing brows or squinting, and are more prominent with age as collagen and elastin production naturally lessens. Factors like UV exposure, smoking, skin type or the absence of a consistent skincare routine can hasten this natural progression. While crow's feet are a normal aspect of aging, some individuals choose to treat these fine lines to achieve a more youthful look.
How is it treated?
If you’re noticing these pesky fine lines around your eyes, our clinic's experienced dermatologists are well-versed in the latest treatments to help reduce the appearance of crow's feet.
Based on your unique needs and expectations, our dermatologists can suggest treatments such as Botox® injections, which relax the muscles around the eyes to lessen the visibility of lines, or dermal fillers, which can assist in smoothing out wrinkles. Additional treatment options include laser resurfacing, which removes the outer skin layers to stimulate new skin growth, and topical retinoids, which can aid in collagen production.
