Crow’s feet are wrinkles that appear in the lateral corner of the eyes.
They are due to loss in skin elasticity due to a reduced production of collagen.
The formation of wrinkles in this area is multifactorial.
Main contributing factors are ageing, repeated unprotected sun exposure, smoking, poor hydration, exposure to the cold, alcohol.
They can present in the form of superficial dynamic lines or deep static lines.
There are several aesthetic treatments that can address this issue such as:
Microneedling with or without PRP, it stimulates the production of new Collagen creating a controlled injury to the skin in the form of microchannels. This results in a younger, smoother, plumper and brighter looking skin. It can be used on its own or in combination with Platelets Rich Plasma (PRP) or growth factors serums.
Polynucleotides, which are a sequesnce of nucleotides that, once injected, target the fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin. By doing so they aid skin regeneration and tissue repair, they also increaseskinh hydration and hyaluronic acid synthesis.
Anti wrinkles injections, that work by blocking the communication between the nerves and the muscles. This results in muscle relaxation, which provides a smoother appearance of existing fine lines and wrinkles and also prevents the formation of new lines and wrinkles, by decreasing muscle movements.
LED phototherapy, it’s a fantastic non-invasive treatment that uses therapeutic light energy to trigger the skin natural rejuvenation and repair processes. It’s completely painless and has no downtime. Our skin has the ability to absorb light energy and uses it to stimulate and regulate essential cell processes. After phototherapy skin cells can renew up to 200 % faster. The result is an amazing flawless, glowing skin.
HIFU, stands for High intensity focused ultrasound. HIFU reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helps to lift and firm sagging skin as well as rejuvenates the overall appearance, by stimulating collagen production. It’s also very effective in reducing stubborn fat deposits in multiple areas. It’s a completely non invasive treatment and has zero downtime.
