Crow’s Feet
Crow’s feet are fine lines that form at the outer corners of the eyes. They are most noticeable when smiling or squinting and are a natural part of facial movement and ageing. Over time, these lines can become visible even at rest, giving the eye area a tired or creased appearance.
At JB Aesthetics, crow’s feet are treated using a bespoke, doctor-led approach. The focus is on softening lines while preserving natural expression, supporting a refreshed appearance without looking overtreated.
What Causes Crow’s Feet?
Crow’s feet usually develop as a result of several factors working together, including:
Repeated facial movement, particularly smiling and squinting
Gradual loss of collagen and elastin
Sun exposure and environmental damage
Dehydration and reduced skin resilience
Lifestyle factors such as stress and smoking
Because the skin around the eyes is thinner and highly expressive, early changes often appear here before other areas of the face.
How Crow’s Feet Are Assessed
Treatment planning always begins with a consultation and facial assessment.
During this appointment, we assess:
How the eye area moves when smiling and at rest
Whether lines are primarily dynamic, static, or a combination
Skin quality, hydration and texture around the eyes
Individual goals and preferences for subtlety and expression
This assessment allows us to recommend the most appropriate approach for your facial anatomy and skin.
Treatment Options
Treatment is always tailored and selected based on suitability. Not every patient will require the same approach. The aim is smoother, softer-looking skin that remains natural and expressive.
Options that may be considered include:
Anti-wrinkle injections
To gently relax muscle activity responsible for dynamic lines, helping soften crow’s feet while maintaining a natural smile
Regenerative injectables
Such as Profhilo, polynucleotides or Sunekos to support skin quality, hydration and resilience where appropriate
SkinPen® microneedling
In selected cases to support collagen production and improve skin texture around the eye area
MOXI® laser
To improve overall skin quality, tone and early crepiness where suitable
BBL® HEROic™
To improve overall skin quality, tone and early crepiness where suitable

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Treatment is planned to soften lines while preserving a natural smile and expression.
How quickly will I see results?
This depends on the treatment selected. Some treatments show results within days, while others improve skin quality gradually over weeks.
Can crow’s feet be treated without injectables?
In some cases, yes. Skin quality treatments such as microneedling or laser may be appropriate, depending on whether lines are primarily movement-related or skin-quality related.
Are crow’s feet treatments suitable for men?
Yes. Treatment plans are tailored to male anatomy and preferences, often focusing on subtle softening rather than complete line reduction.
