Crow's feet and the eye area
The smile lines at the corners of the eyes.
What's going on
Crow's feet are the fine lines that fan from the outer eye, formed by years of smiling and squinting in the Western Australian sun. The skin here is the thinnest on the face, so it shows first.
They are also the lines people feel most ambivalent about — they are, after all, evidence of smiling. The goal is softening, not removal; a face that smiles without lines looks stranger than one with them.
Why it happens
- Smiling and squinting over decades
- Sun exposure — the main driver in coastal WA
- Thin skin around the eye
- Smoking and dehydration amplify
What can realistically be done
Anti-wrinkle treatment
A small, precise dose softens the fan while keeping a genuine smile.
Skin boosters
Hydrate and thicken the thin skin of the area over a short course.
Laser and needling
Improve texture and fine etching that muscle treatment cannot reach.
What can't
The eye area will always move when you laugh — and it should. We do not chase a lineless eye; we soften what bothers you and keep the rest.
What a first visit involves
Thirty to forty-five minutes with a doctor or nurse: your history, an assessment, and an honest plan with costs in writing. No treatment at a first visit. What to expect
