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 common after the age of 20 and are a natural part of the ageing process. When we continue to smile, frown, squint or gasp, our skin is repeatedly creased in these areas. Over time, this may result in increasingly permanent lines that appear as wrinkling around the eyes.
Do crow’s feet wrinkle treatments hurt?
At Contour Clinics, treatments addressing lines around the eyes (crow’s feet) are carefully administered by qualified medical professionals who prioritise your comfort throughout the procedure. Most patients describe the sensation as brief and tolerable. For those concerned about potential discomfort, topical numbing cream or nitrous oxide gas is available upon request.
All treatment procedures, including any potential discomfort and associated risks, will be thoroughly discussed during your personalised consultation. Comfort levels and individual experiences may vary, and no specific outcomes regarding comfort can be guaranteed.
