About Crow’s Feet.

Crows feet, also known as laughter lines or smile lines, are wrinkles that form around the outer corners of your eyes. They are a natural part of the aging process and often become more noticeable as we get older.

At Dr Sknn Wilmslow Cheshire, we offer several effective treatments for reducing the appearance of crows feet, smile lines and wrinkles.

Anti-wrinkle injections, also known as Botox, are a popular and effective treatment for reducing the appearance of crows feet smile lines. The injections work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, allowing the skin to smooth out and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. At Dr Sknn, our highly trained medical professionals use the latest techniques and equipment to ensure safe, effective and natural-looking results.

A consultation may conclude that a different treatment—or no treatment—is the safest and most appropriate recommendation.
What to expect

Before, during and after your treatment.

Your exact experience and recovery are individual. Your clinician will explain what applies to you.

01 · Before History, goals and suitability.

Your clinician reviews medical history, medicines, previous treatment, anatomy, movement and the change you would like to discuss. Prescription suitability, risks and alternatives are covered before a plan is agreed.

02 · During A measured, individual plan.

If treatment is suitable, placement and dose are selected for your anatomy and goals. The aim is a considered result rather than the same pattern for every patient.

03 · After Recovery, review and aftercare.

You receive individual aftercare, warning signs and review guidance. Effects develop gradually, vary between patients and are temporary.

Facial expressions: Repetitive facial movements, such as smiling, squinting, and frowning, can cause wrinkles to form in the skin over time.

Genetics: Some people are genetically predisposed to developing wrinkles and fine lines at an earlier age.

Preventing Smile Lines & Wrinkles

While there is no way to completely prevent crows feet smile lines, there are a number of steps you can take to minimise their appearance and slow down their formation:

Protect your skin from the sun: Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and a hat when you're outside.

Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help keep your skin hydrated, which can help prevent the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.

Quit smoking: Smoking can contribute to the premature ageing of the skin, including the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.

Maintain a healthy diet: Eating a diet that is rich in antioxidants and vitamins can help keep your skin looking healthy and youthful.

Use anti-aging products: Look for products that contain ingredients which can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Preparation, treatment, recovery, suitability and aftercare guidance to support your consultation.

WHY DO SMILE LINES & WRINKLES APPEAR?
There are a number of factors that contribute to the formation of crows feet smile lines, including: Ageing: As we age, our skin loses elasticity and the natural oils that help keep it hydrated. This leads to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines, including crows feet. Sun exposure: UV rays from the sun can cause damage to the skin, leading to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.
