What are crows feet?
Crows feet, also known as character lines and laugh lines are the clumps of small fine lines and wrinkles that appear around the corners of the eyes. These lines develop as we age, and usually become visible in the mid- to late-30s.
Production of elastin and collagen, the two proteins responsible for your skin’s elasticity minimise with age, and this is the start of the formation of crow’s feet.
We develop crows feet from the following
- Smoking
- Squinting
- Smiling
- Frowning
- Exposure to UV rays
- Excessive high pollution
At Mira Clinic we recommend that our patients do the following to help minimise lines:
- Use high factor sunscreen (over factor 30)
- Wear sunglasses
- Avoid smoking
Treating Crows Feet
To prevent crows feet, a muscle relaxantis injected into facial tissue where it relaxes the muscle and stops any movement. The muscle relaxant used in anti-wrinkle injections can help erase or minimise prominent lines. It is used to treat wrinkles on the forehead, chin and around the eyes and can also be used to immobilise sweat glands for individuals that suffer from excessive sweating.
Injections for crows feet are straightforward, and the results can be seen within one week.
Who is a candidate for crows feet treatment?
Candidates suitable for this treatment are people that are unhappy with the lines around their eyes. Patients that have this treatment usually feel that their crow’s feet make them seem older and more tired than they are.
They tend to be people in their early 30’s who have started to see signs of facial ageing.
