Crow's Feet
The skin around our eyes is the most delicate area on our face, being up to 40% thinner than other parts. This makes it especially prone to fine lines, wrinkling, and scarring. Wrinkles that form in this area are often referred to as ‘Crow’s Feet’, named for their distinctive branching pattern that spreads outward from the eyes.
As we age, the skin naturally loses elasticity and becomes more susceptible to wrinkling. Crow’s Feet are one of the most common facial wrinkles and can begin to appear in adulthood. Factors such as lifestyle, sun exposure, and genetics can further influence their development. While harmless, these lines can often impact self-confidence.

Using state-of-the-art technology and expert techniques, our skincare professionals can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, smooth fine lines, and restore a youthful, refreshed appearance.
Causes & Risk Factors
Why Do Crow’s Feet Develop?
Crow’s feet can form for a number of reasons, they appear as lines branching outwards from the eyes towards the temples. Factors such as smoking, pollution, and diet can have an impact on your susceptibility to crow’s feet, but this can also be hereditary. You may be more likely to have crow’s feet if you frequently have to concentrate or find yourself squinting.
Why Are Crow’s Feet So Noticeable?
Natural ageing can leave the skin more likely to wrinkle. The eyes are one of the first areas of the face to reveal the signs of ageing. Though crow’s feet are in a small area of the face they can dramatically age a face when compared to other types of wrinkling.
What Can I Do To Stop Crow’s Feet Developing?
Unfortunately, there are a very limited number of things you can do to stop the natural occurrence of crow’s feet. Leading a healthy lifestyle is the most important factor which will reduce susceptibility to wrinkling. However, as the skin naturally ages, collagen and elastin levels will drop and leave it more prone to wrinkling and developing crow’s feet.
Treatment Options
Botox & Wrinkle Relaxers
Botox & Wrinkle Relaxers are popular non-surgical treatments used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These injectables work by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for creating wrinkles, particularly in areas like the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and between the eyebrows (frown lines). By blocking nerve signals, Botox and other wrinkle relaxers smooth the skin and create a more youthful appearance. The results are subtle and natural-looking, with minimal downtime, typically lasting 3-6 months. These treatments are effective for both preventing and reducing signs of aging.
PRP Boost
PRP Boost is an advanced treatment that utilizes Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to rejuvenate the skin and promote natural healing. PRP is derived from your own blood and contains concentrated platelets that stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration. The PRP is carefully injected into targeted areas of the face or body to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. It helps reduce fine lines, acne scars, and sun damage while enhancing skin elasticity and radiance. With minimal downtime and natural results, PRP Boost is an excellent option for those seeking a non-invasive, effective skin rejuvenation treatment.
