Crow’s feet: smiling, skin quality and the surrounding eye area

How crow’s feet assessment considers anatomy, function and a personal plan at our London clinic.
Understand the area
Crow’s feet are the fine lines spreading from the outer eye when the orbicularis oculi muscle contracts during smiling and squinting. Skin thickness, elasticity, sun exposure and hydration also influence how visible the lines remain at rest.
What we assess
We assess the outer eye together with the under-eye skin, temple and upper cheek. These neighbouring regions contribute to the appearance of the eye area, while movement-related lines still need their own assessment.
Eye-area support has several roles
Under-eye Juvelook, suitable Lenisna temple support or a Radiesse cheek plan may be discussed when those neighbouring areas have a separate skin-quality or support need. The regions are connected, but treating them has a different purpose from assessing the muscles that create an expression line.
A plan with a clear purpose
Our aim is an eye area that looks cared for while retaining a warm, natural smile. Skin-quality treatments and carefully selected support treatments may complement the plan when there is a clear reason for them.
Amount, review and timing
For a suitable muscle-directed plan, the fee covers the agreed treatment rather than a per-unit tariff. The amount is chosen around anatomy, muscle activity and function. A complimentary 14-day review and any clinically appropriate adjustment at that review are included. We do not automatically book repeat treatment every three months; the interval follows your response and clinical assessment.
