Crow's Feet

What are Crow's Feet? The much-discussed “crow's feet” or “laughter lines” describe wrinkles observed at the outer corner of the eye, extending towards the temples. They were named as such because they resemble the shape of a crow's foot. Crow’s feet belong to expression wrinkles, which are the result of repeated movements that activate the tiny muscles in the area, creating small folds. Wrinkles follow the natural aging process during which collagen and elastin, the two main proteins responsible for skin firmness, gradually decrease. The skin in the area around the eyes is much thinner than other facial areas, leading to the premature appearance of aging signs there.

Dynamic & Static Wrinkles We could categorize crow's feet wrinkles into 2 types: Dynamic wrinkles, which are created when the face expresses emotion, e.g., with a smile, and do not require treatment. Static wrinkles, which are present even at rest and become the reason one seeks treatment.

Treatment The goal of crow's feet treatment is to improve appearance and boost self-confidence. One of the most popular options used in aesthetic medicine for this area is FDA-approved botox. Botox, which has the property of relaxing the muscles in the area making the skin appear smoother, is used for both therapeutic and preventive reasons.
