Quick Facts
What are Crows Feet?
Crow’s Feet are the wrinkles that form around the eye in a pattern similar to the feet of a crow. They become more obvious when smiling.
Why do crow’s feet occur?
As we age, we lose collagen and elastin in the skin causing the natural elasticity of the skin to diminish and the skin to thin and wrinkle. The skin loses its ability to stretch and recover and as a result, repetitive smiling causes Crow’s Feet and smile lines to become etched in the skin as you age. Other factors such as sun exposure and smoking can also hasten this process.

Consultations for Crow’s Feet in Melbourne
We offer consultations to smooth out Crow’s Feet. Our Melbourne team offers treatment plans that can discuss ways of relaxing the thin circular muscle around the eye called the orbicularis oculi muscle. By weakening the contraction of the underlying muscle, it softens the lines when smiling and prevents lines from forming. There are different patterns of crow’s feet depending on the individual. Each patient has individual anatomy, goals, and facial balance; therefore, we individualise every treatment plan and aim for natural-looking outcomes.
It’s important to seek experienced practitioners. Since 2002, Face To Face Medical has been a respected name in cosmetic treatments, including Wrinkle reduction for crow’s feet in Melbourne.

When to Seek a Consultation for Crow’s Feet in Melbourne.
We all have some lines when we smile, however, when the lines remain when we’re not smiling, they are more difficult to remove. Although wrinkles appear with age, people with very expressive faces can get them early on. For that reason, there is no specific timeline for seeking a consultation for Crow’s Feet lines. Preventing these lines from forming is easier than trying to reverse them. Therefore, starting your journey just before they become permanently etched is recommended.
