Crow’s Feet

Crow’s Feet Treatment in Glasgow

Crow’s feet are fine lines that appear as a result of our everyday expressions, such as smiling and laughing. For this reason, some patients are not concerned by the appearance of crow’s feet and see them as a positive attribute. However, if static or deepened crow’s feet are becoming bothersome, our doctor-led team can advise on the best solution for you.

Essential Tips for Effective anti-wrinkle Aftercare

Choosing Crow's Feet Treatment

Not everyone wants crow’s feet treated, and some patients see them as a positive attribute. Where they have become bothersome, the decision comes down to how far they extend. Faint lines that mostly disappear when the face relaxes respond well to anti-wrinkle injections alone, which often has the added effect of elevating the brow. Where the lines spread further down onto the cheek, our medical team combines gentle dosing around the eye with volume restoration to the cheek rather than increasing the dose, since relaxing the muscle that far down can affect the way the mouth looks when smiling.

When crow’s feet are still fairly faint and mostly disappear when the face relaxes, they can be treated with injectable muscle relaxants. Doing this often helps to elevate the brow also, which can be helpful for patients who have early hooding of the eyelids.

However, when crow’s feet are more extensive and are spreading further down onto the cheek area, then Anti-Wrinkle Injections alone may not be enough to achieve a satisfactory improvement. Although we can increase the dose and relax the muscle down onto the cheek, this can affect the way the mouth looks when smiling and can appear somewhat unnatural, a look we always aim to avoid. In this situation, it is best to combine gentle Anti-Wrinkle Injections around the eye area with some volume restoration to the cheek. This has the benefit of softening the lines, as well as lifting the mid-face.

A McKeown Medical patient March 2024

Dr Rhona was lovely and put me at ease before and during the treatment. I was well informed of my options prior to treatment taking place and aftercare was explained thoroughly too. Will definitely be revisiting soon.

A McKeown Medical patient March 2024

Dr Rhona was particularly kind and sensitive to my needs and her care is very patient centred.

A McKeown Medical patient October 2023

From my very first contact with yourselves to the minute I left the attention to detail and client service was impeccable, every member of staff I came into contact with was so friendly and professional put me at ease so much. Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed with environments like this however this was furthest from my thoughts on arrival.

My consultation answered all concerns Dr Rhona explained what would give me best results as to what I was looking to achieve . As I was travelling from a far your team kindly got my booked in same day for my treatment so I didn’t have to make another journey. Upon my procedure which again every step of the way was explained my therapist was so attentive talked me through everything step as she was carrying out my treatment and explained all my after care.

I am currently in day 3 of the Halo treatment and everything is exactly what I was told to expect. I am now looking forward to seeing end result. Thank you to you and your team .

A McKeown Medical patient May 2024

From the moment I walked through the door I was treated so well by every member of staff, all so friendly and helpful. I received Halo and BBL I was a little nervous but Dr Rhona completely put my mind at rest.

After my treatments I was taken good care of and Dr Darren came and reassured me too which was an added bonus. I returned a few weeks later for my checkup and again was treated so well, Dr Darren remembered me which was lovely.

I am delighted with the results of my treatment I feel my skin looks so much fresher and this in turn has lifted my self esteem which had previously been at a low point. I highly recommend both these treatments and would not hesitate to return to Dr Darren’s Clinic in the future. Thank you to all again.

A McKeown Medical patient December 2023

It’s just a lovely clinic. Everyone is very professional and it feels very high end, so you know you’re in safe hands, but they’re also friendly, welcoming and warm which really matters when visiting as it helps you feel at ease & relaxed.

Lovely friendly staff. Came out after treatment feeling so much better about my appearance. Dr Darren McKeown puts you at ease and gives you a wonderful boost. Thank you all.

A McKeown Medical patient March 2024

I have so much trust and faith in Dr Darren and I thank him dearly for all that he has done for me to improve my confidence.

Common Questions

What are the benefits?

Many people are anxious about muscle-relaxing injections, for fear of ending up with a “frozen” face, and this is where our extensive experience comes in. Correctly administered treatment should result in a harmonious balance of facial muscles that improves the overall appearance and condition of the skin along with crow’s feet, while still allowing your natural expression and character to shine through.

Which anaesthetic is used?

Crow’s feet treatment does not require the use of anaesthetic. When injecting, we use only the finest-gauge needles and take care to change these regularly, therefore reducing discomfort and potential bruising.

What's the downtime?

There is little to no downtime with crow’s feet treatment. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment, though applying makeup is not advised until the following day.

When will I see results?

The results of crow’s feet treatment can take up to two weeks to become apparent. The effects will typically last between three and four months before a repeat treatment is required. Typically, most people opt to have treatment two to three times per year, and they often try to coincide treatment dates with big events, such as birthdays or Christmas. Because of the apparent long-term benefits of repetitive treatments, we usually find that filler is only ever required at the first treatment. It is rare to repeat the use of filler in this area, so long as the muscles remain relaxed.

Will treatment leave my face looking frozen?

No, and avoiding that is the point of how the treatment is judged rather than how it is delivered. Crow’s feet come from the muscle around the eye, and the aim is to soften how deeply the skin creases while leaving the movement that makes an expression read as yours. Correctly administered treatment produces a harmonious balance of facial muscles, allowing your natural expression and character to come through. Where the lines extend down onto the cheek, we deliberately use gentle dosing around the eye combined with volume restoration rather than increasing the dose, because relaxing the muscle that far down can affect how the mouth looks when you smile.
