Crow’s feet—those fine lines that extend from the outer corners of the eyes—can add years to your appearance or convey fatigue, even when you feel well-rested. With subtle, expert care, these lines can be softened to restore a smoother, more refreshed look.
Why Do Crow’s Feet Occur?
Crow’s feet form as a result of years of squinting, smiling, and sun exposure. These fine lines are caused by the repeated movement of the orbicularis oculi muscles, combined with natural collagen loss over time. Without treatment, they can deepen and become permanent, even at rest.
Treatment typically involves neurotoxins like BOTOX®, which relax the underlying muscles responsible for the lines. In more advanced cases, Dr. Coombs may also recommend skin resurfacing or dermal fillers to improve texture and support the surrounding skin.
