NON-SURGICAL
TREATMENTS

What can help?

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.

The case example below demonstrates how crow’s feet can be addressed by our clinic’s doctors.

Example of treatment of more extensive crows feet.

When the crows feet are a little more extensive

However, when crow’s feet are more extensive, and are spreading further down onto the cheek area, then muscle relaxing 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 muscle relaxing injections around the eye area with some volume restoration to the cheek. This has the benefit of softening the lines, as well as also lifting the mid-face.

COMMON
QUESTIONS

Frown line 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 eliminating discomfort and potential bruising.

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 – while still allowing your natural expression and character to shine through.

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

The results of frown line treatment can take up to two weeks to become apparent. The effects will typically last between three to 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 use of filler in this area, so long as the muscles remain relaxed.
