Several factors contribute to the formation of crow's feet:
Ageing: The delicate and thin skin around the eyes is more prone to wrinkles as collagen production decreases.
Facial Expressions: Frequent movements like smiling, squinting, or frowning lead to dynamic wrinkles that can become permanent over time.
Environmental Factors: UV exposure accelerates skin ageing, while smoking impairs collagen repair, further contributing to wrinkle formation.
Genetics: A family history of early wrinkles can predispose some individuals to develop crow's feet sooner.
There are various effective treatments to reduce the appearance of crow's feet:
Topical Treatments: Creams containing retinol or vitamin A derivatives can improve skin texture and minimise wrinkles. Hydrating products with ceramides and hyaluronic acid also help.
Botox: This injectable treatment temporarily relaxes the muscles around the eyes, reducing the appearance of wrinkles for several months.
Laser Resurfacing: This procedure removes damaged skin layers and stimulates collagen production, resulting in smoother skin.
Dermal Fillers: Fillers can plump the skin and reduce the depth of wrinkles around the eyes.
Adopt effective prevention strategies to minimise the risk of developing crow's feet. First, protect your skin from the sun by using sunscreen with at least SPF 30, wearing sunglasses, and limiting sun exposure. Regular moisturisation is also crucial—applying hydrating creams helps maintain skin suppleness and prevents dryness that can lead to wrinkles.
Additionally, a healthy lifestyle plays a significant role in skin health; a balanced diet, adequate hydration, and avoiding smoking can greatly improve skin condition and delay the onset of crow's feet.

Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient's unique needs, ensuring optimal results. Our doctors utilise the latest technologies and techniques, combining their medical expertise with a deep understanding of aesthetic principles.
This doctor-led approach enhances safety and effectiveness and ensures that patients receive the most advanced, clinically proven treatments for eye bags, dark circles, and other signs of ageing around the eyes.
Eye reshaping is an emerging trend that goes beyond traditional eye rejuvenation treatments. While treatments like those for crow's feet, under-eye bags, and dark circles focus on correcting age-related concerns, eye reshaping techniques aim to enhance the overall appearance of the eye area.
Popular eye reshaping treatments include:
The Almond or Oval Eye (Also known as the upturned eye)
The Fox Eye
The Cat Eye
These treatments offer a modern approach to enhancing the eyes, providing patients with tailored solutions for a more youthful and defined eye area.
Excellent! From the appointment booking to the Doctor, I made an appointment using the live chat function on the website and was directed to the Durban branch. It's a beautiful environment with great staff. Doctor Nicolette took time to explain everything and listened to what I wanted. I had Botox, and everything went well. I will be back to try other treatments.
