Crows Feet

Crow’s feet or laughter lines are one of the most common facial expression wrinkles. Depending on your lifestyle and genetics, these tiny lines may creep in as early as your mid-20s and 30s. While fine lines can add to the character and charm of your face, the deeper lines can make you look wrinkled and aged. On the bright side, we have an incredible range of anti-ageing treatments that can restore your skin’s elasticity and iron out those unwanted eye wrinkles for radiant and youthful skin.

What are Crow’s Feet?

Crow’s feet are the fine lines around the eye area. They resemble the feet of a crow – hence the name. There are two types of wrinkles: Dynamic wrinkles, these are not permanent and only visible through facial expressions like smiling and frowning. And static wrinkles, these wrinkles are always visible even when the muscles are resting. As we grow older dynamic wrinkles develop into static wrinkles. Over time they may develop into permanent, deep wrinkles. 

What causes Crow’s Feet?

Crow’s feet develop because of the skin’s natural reduction in collagen and elastin as we age. These two proteins give skin a youthful and firm appearance. Plus, the skin around the eye is exceptionally thin and fragile, exposure to excessive UV rays and environmental pollution may aggravate these facial lines. In addition, facial expressions like smiling, frowning, or scowling also play a role in deepening and elongating these wrinkles.  

How to get rid of Crow’s Feet?

At Cardiff Cosmetic Clinic, our team of medical experts regularly treat patients with crows feet. From early fine lines to deep wrinkles, we have a range of innovative treatments.

Anti-wrinkle injections, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), and dermal fillers are generally the easiest and most efficient ways to get rid of eye wrinkles which involve injecting helpful proteins and molecules into the dermis for increased volume and smooth skin. Microneedling is also an effective solution; our state-of-the-art range includes Morpheus8, Fractora, and Dermapen. If you prefer non-invasive aesthetic treatments, chemical peels, NeoGen Plasma, and our skincare range deliver cutting-edge results without the pins and needles. These treatments are great solutions to treating crow’s feet. They can be used individually or combined for a targeted anti-wrinkle treatment that will leave your skin feeling firm, plump, and youthful.
