Understanding crow’s feet and eye wrinkles
What are crow’s feet?
Crow’s feet, also known as eye wrinkles, are the fine creases that develop at the outer corners of the eyes. These lines emerge gradually as the skin in this delicate area loses its natural elasticity and resilience, and the underlying bone and facial fat reduce with age. Initially, they appear during facial expressions such as smiling, squinting, or laughing, but over time they can become visible even when the face is at rest. The skin surrounding the eyes is some of the thinnest on the body, making it especially susceptible to early signs of ageing. The appearance of crow’s feet can be influenced by multiple factors, including natural ageing, environmental exposures, and lifestyle choices, making it important to address them with a comprehensive approach.
Causes of eye wrinkles
The formation of eye wrinkles is a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors.
Intrinsic factors
Intrinsic ageing refers to the natural decline in collagen and elastin production, which diminishes the skin’s firmness and elasticity over time.
Extrinsic factors
Extrinsic factors, including sun exposure, smoking, and environmental pollutants, accelerate this process by breaking down the structural proteins in the skin. Repetitive facial movements, such as squinting or smiling, create dynamic lines that gradually deepen into permanent wrinkles. Genetic predisposition also plays a role, determining how early and pronounced these lines may become. Understanding the causes of eye wrinkles allows for more effective, personalised treatment plans that target both existing lines and preventative strategies.
How ageing affects the eye area
As the skin around the eyes ages, several changes occur that contribute to wrinkle formation. The skin naturally becomes thinner, making fine lines and creases more apparent. Subcutaneous fat pads, which provide volume and support, begin to diminish or shift, causing hollows or sagging skin. The underlying muscles, including the orbicularis oculi, may contract and create dynamic lines that appear whenever the face moves. Additionally, collagen production decreases over time, further reducing elasticity and making wrinkles more prominent. These changes are gradual, cumulative, and influenced by individual lifestyle factors, highlighting the importance of early intervention and ongoing care to maintain a smooth skin around the eyes.
Assessing suitability for eye wrinkle treatments
Who can benefit
Eye wrinkle treatments are suitable for most adults experiencing early to moderate signs of ageing around the eyes. Suitable candidates are typically those who notice fine lines or deeper wrinkles at the outer eye corners, desire natural-looking rejuvenation without altering their facial expressions, and maintain realistic expectations about the outcomes of treatment.
The consultation and examination
A thorough consultation is essential to assess suitability and develop a personalised treatment plan. During this process, the clinician examines the skin around the eyes, evaluating its thickness, elasticity, and overall quality. Wrinkles are assessed in detail, with attention to their depth, pattern, and severity. Lifestyle factors, such as sun exposure, smoking, and general health, are discussed to understand how they may impact treatment outcomes. The patient’s goals and expectations are explored, allowing the clinician to design a treatment plan tailored to both anatomical considerations and aesthetic objectives. This personalised approach ensures that the results are natural, and aligned with the patient’s vision for their appearance.
How eye wrinkle treatments work
Mechanisms of non-surgical eye wrinkle treatments
Non-invasive treatments for crow’s feet work by addressing the underlying causes of wrinkles while supporting the skin’s natural regeneration. These treatments target fine lines and deeper wrinkles by increasing skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration, and relaxing the underlying muscles. They stimulate collagen production and add volume, which helps strengthen the structural framework of the skin and reduce the appearance of creases over time. By supporting the skin’s natural healing processes, these treatments aim to create smoother eyes without altering facial expressions or creating an artificial appearance.
Understanding the anatomy of the eye area
A detailed understanding of eye anatomy is crucial to the treatment of crow’s feet. The orbicularis oculi muscles, which encircle the eyes, control blinking, squinting, and smiling, and their repetitive movements contribute to dynamic lines. The thin epidermis and dermis in this area make the skin more prone to visible creasing and ageing. Beneath the skin, subcutaneous fat provides cushioning and structural support, and its loss or redistribution can accentuate wrinkles. Blood vessels and nerves in the area must be carefully considered during treatment to minimise discomfort and avoid complications. Knowledge of these anatomical features allows clinicians to tailor treatments that respect natural facial movement while enhancing the skin’s appearance.
Treatment objectives
The primary goals of crow’s feet and eye wrinkle treatments are to:
- Soften visible lines
- Improve skin firmness and texture
- Prevent the formation of deeper wrinkles over time
Treatments are designed to maintain natural expression, ensuring the eyes retain their dynamic character while appearing smoother and more refreshed. By clearly defining treatment objectives, patients and clinicians can collaborate to achieve results that prioritises overall facial harmony and support long-term skin health.
The treatment experience
Preparation for eye treatments
Proper preparation is an important part of achieving optimal results. Patients are generally advised to avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and harsh skincare products in the days leading up to treatment. The eye area should be thoroughly cleansed, free from makeup or other products. Any medications, medical conditions, or previous procedures should be discussed with the clinician. Hydration and adherence to specific pre-treatment instructions also support a smoother procedure and better outcomes.
Comfort and pain relief
For many patients, concerns about discomfort are common. Most non-invasive eye wrinkle treatments are usually well-tolerated, but because each person’s experience of pain varies we use several strategies to reduce any sensations of discomfort. Topical numbing creams or cooling devices can be applied to the skin to ease sensitivity. During treatment, gentle techniques and precise placement of instruments minimise pressure or irritation. Patients may experience mild tingling, warmth, or slight pressure, but pain is generally minimal and short-lived. Open communication with the clinician allows any discomfort to be managed immediately, creating a calm and comfortable treatment experience.
- Mild topical numbing may be used for added comfort.
- Gentle cooling techniques reduce sensitivity during treatment.
During the procedure
Treatment sessions are designed to be efficient, minimally invasive, and highly personalised. We carefully target the wrinkles while respecting the delicate structure of the eye area. The procedure typically lasts only a short period, allowing patients to resume normal activities quickly. By combining anatomical knowledge with proper techniques, clinicians ensure natural, balanced outcomes that enhance the eye area without disrupting facial expressions.
Post-treatment and aftercare
Following treatment, careful aftercare is crucial to support healing and maximise results. Patients are encouraged to keep the eye area clean, moisturised, and protected from sun exposure. Rubbing, scratching, or using abrasive products should be avoided to prevent irritation. Gentle activity and adherence to recommended rest periods support recovery. We provide guidance on follow-up appointments, monitoring progress, and planning maintenance treatments. Pain or discomfort following treatment is usually mild and can be managed with simple measures such as cold compresses and over-the-counter relief if recommended.
Potential results and maintenance
Short-term results
Patients may notice smoother skin around the eyes within days to weeks of treatment, with a reduction in the visibility of fine lines and superficial wrinkles. The eyes usually appear refreshed, while natural expressions remain intact.
Long-term results
With continued care and appropriate maintenance, long-term results can include improved skin elasticity, reduced formation of new wrinkles, and a sustained smoother appearance. Over time, treatments support ongoing collagen production, contributing to firmer skin. Maintaining regular monitoring and follow-up sessions ensures that results evolve naturally, preserving the refreshed appearance.
Multiple treatments for lasting results
Achieving optimal and enduring results often requires a series of treatments. The number and frequency of sessions depend on factors such as the depth and severity of existing wrinkles, skin type, age, and lifestyle habits. Some patients may require periodic maintenance treatments to sustain results, particularly if their goal is to prevent future lines from forming or becoming more pronounced. Personalised treatment plans allow clinicians to adjust timing and approach to match each patient’s unique needs, ensuring the eyes continue to look smooth and natural over time.
Optimising and maintaining results
Skincare and lifestyle support
Supporting treatments with appropriate skincare and lifestyle habits is essential for maintaining results. Gentle moisturisers and specialised eye creams can help preserve elasticity and hydration. Broad-spectrum sunscreen protects the delicate skin from UV damage, preventing premature ageing and the formation of new wrinkles. Adequate hydration, balanced nutrition, and lifestyle choices such as avoiding smoking also contribute to long-term skin health.
- Daily sun protection is essential to maintain results.
- Hydration and gentle skincare support skin elasticity.
Follow-up treatments
The need for maintenance treatment is highly dependent on your personalised assessment, and should be determined during your initial consultation. If your needs lead to the scheduling of maintenance treatments, approaches can be adjusted as necessary, depending on changing goals, skin response, and variations in lifestyle factors.
Safety, risks, and suitability considerations
Minimising risk
Non-surgical eye wrinkle treatments are generally considered to be low risk when performed by experienced professionals. Minor, temporary side effects may include slight redness, swelling, mild tenderness, or bruising around the treated area. By understanding the anatomy and applying precise techniques, clinicians can help to reduce the risk of adverse effects.
Determining suitability
Careful evaluation ensures that the selected treatment is appropriate and that expectations align with achievable results. Suitability is assessed individually, taking into account skin condition, thickness, elasticity, overall health, medical history, and previous procedures. Patients with certain medical conditions or sensitivities may require tailored approaches or adjustments to the treatment plan. By personalising care and considering all relevant factors, clinicians provide treatments that are aligned with each person’s needs.

Crow’s feet are the wrinkles that are found extending away from the outer corners of your eyes.
They are most often seen when you squint and smile. With age, they become permanently etched into your skin.
Wrinkles around your eyes, known as crow’s feet, develop from repetitive skin bunching that occurs with facial expression. With age, thinning skin and facial volume loss accelerate the development of crow’s feet wrinkles.
Crow’s feet wrinkles result from skin damage that occurs when you squint and smile. Wrinkles that are initially only visible when you make expressions become permanently etched into your skin.
Ageing, cigarette smoke and UV accelerate the development of crow’s feet wrinkles because they cause degradation of your skin’s collagen and elastin.
Most people begin develop crow’s feet wrinkles in their 20’s and 30’s.
You can slow the development of crow’s feet by wearing sunscreen, not smoking, and consulting with a professional about various clinical treatment options.
Crow’s feet may be treatment through lifestyle measures, and with non-surgical techniques that soften fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes. Depending on your assessment, treatments may may involve targeting facial muscles, volume, or collagen. Treatments are tailored to your skin type and wrinkle pattern, and mild numbing or cooling methods can be used to reduce discomfort. Results typically appear within days, and guidance on aftercare helps maintain smooth, refreshed-looking skin.
There is no right age to start treating crow’s feet. If you’re noticing lines developing around your eyes that are bothering you, then the first step is to book a consultation to discuss your options.
The frequency of treatment depends on your skin, wrinkle depth, and desired results. The ideal maintenance schedule is something that can be determined through a consultation.
To improve crow’s feet naturally, use sunscreen and good quality skin care. You can also wear sunglasses when outside to reduce squinting.
Crow’s feet treatments are usually performed using precise, non-surgical techniques that target the fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes. The process is personalised to your wrinkle pattern, skin type, and facial expressions, with optional numbing or cooling methods to minimise discomfort. Treatments are quick, typically completed in minutes, and aim to soften lines while preserving natural movement and expression.
Crow’s feet treatments are usually quick, often completed within 5 to 20 minutes. The exact time depends on the number of lines being treated and your individual facial anatomy, with most people able to return to their normal activities immediately afterward.
Crow’s feet treatments are generally well tolerated, although each person’s experience of discomfort will vary. Numbing creams or cooling techniques can be used to minimise any discomfort.
Results from treatment for crow’s feet typically emerge within days to weeks, depending on the methods used.
Most treatments for crow’s feet usually last between three to six months, depending on individual factors such as skin type, age, and lifestyle. The treatment method and plan also play a significant role in how long crow’s feet treatments last.
No. When treatments are personalised and carefully administered, your natural facial expressions are preserved. The goal is to soften the lines around your eyes while maintaining a relaxed, natural look—never a frozen or unnatural appearance.
Yes. Treatments are designed to soften wrinkles while allowing your muscles to move naturally. You’ll still be able to smile, laugh, and express yourself normally, with lines appearing less pronounced.
There is a low chance that treating crow’s feet may temporarily affect your smile. Properly tailored treatments target the wrinkles around your eyes without interfering with the muscles that control your smile.
Before your treatment, it’s important to attend a personalised consultation so your clinician can assess your skin, discuss your goals, and create a tailored plan. You may be advised to avoid certain things that increase bleeding risk, limit alcohol intake, and ensure your skin is clean and free of makeup on the day of your appointment.
After treatment, you may notice slight redness, tenderness, or mild swelling around the eyes, which usually resolves within a few hours to a couple of days. Most people can return to their normal activities immediately. Full results gradually become visible over the following days to weeks depending on the treatment method, with fine lines softening and the area around the eyes appearing smoother and more refreshed. Your clinician will provide personalised aftercare guidance to optimise and maintain your results.
When performed by experienced clinicians, treatments for crow’s feet are considered low risk. During your consultation, your provider will assess your medical history, suitability, and discuss all possible risks depending on the planned treatment method.
Crow’s feet treatments are generally low-risk, but as with any cosmetic procedure, some temporary side effects may occur. These can include mild redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the treatment site. Rarely, uneven results, temporary drooping of nearby muscles, or mild asymmetry may occur.
If you decide to stop crow’s feet treatments, your skin will gradually return to its natural state over time. Existing fine lines and wrinkles may slowly become more noticeable as the muscles around your eyes regain their usual movement patterns. Stopping treatment does not cause permanent damage—your skin will simply age naturally, and any results from previous treatments will gradually diminish.
