If you’re looking for non-invasive treatments to reduce crow’s feet, our clinic offers laser therapy as an excellent alternative. By targeting the upper layers of the skin, laser treatments stimulate collagen growth, promoting firmer skin and gradually reducing the appearance of crow’s feet over time.

Fractional and Ablative Laser Resurfacing procedures can be used to treat crows feet.

During your consultation at our London clinic, our specialists will assess your facial skin and recommend the most suitable treatment for your skin condition, whether that’s Botox, fillers, or laser therapy, ensuring a personalised approach to achieving your desired results.

Our treatments are carried out by experienced doctors and nurses, ensuring your safety and satisfaction at every step. Leading our team is Dr Tapan Patel, a global expert in aesthetic treatments and the recipient of The Aesthetics Award 2023 for Outstanding Achievement in Medical Aesthetics.

Under Dr Patel’s guidance, our medical professionals undergo continuous training to stay up-to-date with the latest techniques. This commitment to excellence ensures you receive personalised care and achieve the best possible results.

As we start ageing, the body stops producing collagen (which keeps skin supple and firm) and elastin (which helps skin ‘bounce back’). So when the skin around the eyes constantly moves when we’re expressive, it stops going back to its smooth and plump ways. As well as ageing, the lines and wrinkles in this area can worsen due to sun exposure, poor skin care, smoking, genetics and stress.
 

• Ageing. Crow’s feet are often one of the first signs of ageing as the skin around the eyes is much thinner compared to the rest of the face. Skin around our eyes also doesn’t produce oil like the rest of our skin, making it more delicate, and more likely to become dry and thin. 

• Sun exposure. We all know the dangers of UV exposure and sunburn, but for delicate under-eye skin, it can be even more damaging. Sun exposure can cause pigment producing cells to mature abnormally. Also, exposure to the sun’s rays can cause squinting which contributes to wrinkles and fine lines on the outer corner of the eyes

• A hydrating SPF should always be a part of your skincare routine. Wearing SPF 30 or above can protect your skin from UV exposure and sunburn, which are significant contributors to crow’s feet. Whilst you’re in the sun, wearing sunglasses and a sun hat can also help prevent squinting which can also worsen lines and wrinkles around the eyes. 

• Poor skin care. If under-eye skin is not kept moisturised, the chances of lines appearing deeper and more pronounced increase dramatically. Skincare and intensive skincare treatments can address fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area. Whilst off-the-shelf skincare products are often the go-to, a tailored treatment plan by a skincare specialist could be the right way to go when it comes to preventing fine lines and wrinkles.

• Smoking. Smoking causes blood vessels near the top layer of skin to become narrow, which limits the moisture and nutrients that skin has access to. This can make lines appear darker and deeper. Avoiding smoking is not only really important for your health, but for your skin too.

• Genetics. Wrinkles around the eyes can also be hereditary, generally passed down from father to son and mother to daughter.

• Stress. Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes can be caused by a whole range of emotions. If you are stressed, your crow’s feet can be worsened.
