What Causes Crow’s Feet?
Aging
Loss of collagen, elastin and the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid over time.
Sun Damage
Accelerates aging of all the skin layers.
Smoking / Vaping
Further reduces the skin’s resilience and elasticity.
Repeated strong facial expressions
Such as smiling and squinting.
The wrong skincare

Best treatments for crow’s feet
Pairing injected medical treatments (which work relatively quickly for prevention and treatment of mild to moderate crow’s feet) with integrated proven skincare enhances crow’s feet and wrinkle treatments.
- Serums containing proven ingredients that work through the same pathway as botulinum toxin (contain a peptide ‘glass skin’ complex) when utilized in combination with other wrinkle targeting treatments have been shown to further increase line and wrinkle improvement. These products also assist to reduce pore size, improve skin texture, and relax surface muscles that contribute to fine lines.
- Polynucleotides (PN) (REJURAN): PNs are an anti-aging eye treatment that provides a scaffold with regenerative properties. This increases the skin’s own collagen production plus improves skin elasticity to help address crow’s feet. These can be paired with medical crow’s feet injections.
- Hyaluronic Acid Intensifying Serums: Enhance natural Hyaluronic Acid (HA) production and have also been shown to pair well with medical crow’s feet hydrating and plumping (glycan) treatments to enhance wrinkle and line improvement outcomes. HA holds and attracts water, improving wrinkles and plumping the skin’s collagen layer.
In line with the latest TGA guidelines, we are unable to display specific cosmetic treatments. However, our full range of treatments remains available.
Laser Treatments for eye wrinkles and crow’s feet (can produce lasting changes with devices for prevention right through to those addressing severe or deep crow’s feet).
Our options for laser treatment of crow’s feet include
- Ablative (CO2 and Erbium) and Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing
- Choice of laser is tailored to severity of crow’s feet, recovery time & skin type
- Hybrid lasers, such as the ALMA HYBRID, synergistically combine ablative and non-ablative technologies to boost both collagen and elastin for natural, long-lasting results.
(ACCLARO ULTRCLEAR, CANDELA NORDLYS 1940 /1550 and LUTRONICS ULTRA 1927 lasers):
These treatments target the skin’s surface and deeper layers to contract plus stimulate collagen production and improve texture.
- Skin Tightening Treatments
- Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling and Sublative RF (CANDELA MATRIX): is a popular treatment as it restores the skin’s normal or natural mix of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid to firm, restore lost elasticity and reduce lines and wrinkles.
- ULTRAFORMER MPT
- (Including Ultrabooster with its DSB serum) use sound energy and a specially designed serum to provide both a good prejuvenation, wrinkle reduction & maintenance treatment option.
Medical-Grade Skincare for Crow’s feet prevention
Integrated Medical-Grade Skincare has been proven to both improve your response to crow’s feet and fine line treatments (laser and injectables) plus prolong your treatment results. Best ingredients may include:
- Retinoids (vitamin A): Increases collagen, smooths skin and reduces wrinkles.
- Antioxidants: Vitamin C, E and Ferulic acid both help protect the skin from the damaging effects of UV and pollution plus promote new collagen production.
- Peptides are an exciting mix of options that can be tailored to skin concerns
- Hydrating Agents: these can work either by attracting or holding in the skin’s moisture with newer agents that promote production of the skin’s natural moisturising factors.
- SPF 50 broad-spectrum sun protection: an essential.
Which treatment is right for you?
Your expert dermatologist-recommended treatments.
While treatments can all have benefits, an individual assessment by one of our dermatologists and dermatology nurses is required. Treatment recommendations need to factor in your wrinkle depth and severity, skin type, expectations and downtime preferences along with potential risks including rare complications.
