Why Do I Have Wrinkles Around My Eyes?
Crow’s Feet Wrinkles are caused by loss of skin elasticity, a decrease in subcutaneous fat in the face and overactivity of the orbicularis occuli muscle that surrounds the eye. They are extremely common after the age of 20. When we continue to smile, frown, squint or gasp, our skin is repeatedly creased in these areas. Untreated, this results in increasingly permanent lines that appear as wrinkling around the eyes.
Do Crow’s Feet Wrinkle Injections Hurt?
Crow’s Feet Wrinkle Injections use ultra-fine needles that many patients do not find uncomfortable. The feeling is most commonly described as a quick sting. However, if you are worried about pain, our clinicians at Contour Clinics will happily apply topical numbing cream to ensure a pain-free experience.
There is minimal discomfort with Crow’s Feet Wrinkle Injections. Our clinics use an ultra-fine needle, which are the smallest available on the market. This provides a comfortable, relatively pain free experience. On request, we can also provide happy gas, or topical numbing cream for a truly comfortable experience.

Can I Get Preventative Crow’s Feet Wrinkle Injections?
Yes.
Preventative Crow’s Feet Wrinkle Injections refers to receiving anti-wrinkle treatments from a younger age to prevent wrinkles from appearing as you age. At younger ages, wrinkles are present only during expression. Overtime, with repeated expression, loss of facial fat and general ageing these lines can become permanently present even when you are not expressing yourself. The goal of preventative anti-wrinkle treatments is to prevent these lines from forming in the first place.
