Crow’s feet are the fine lines radiating from the outer corners of the eyes, often first noticed when smiling.
Crow’s feet are the fine lines radiating from the outer corners of the eyes, often first noticed when smiling. Because this is a delicate area central to natural expression, Dr Sateei’s approach is always conservative.
Repeated contraction of the muscle circling the eye during smiling and squinting creates these lines. Thin skin, ageing, genetics, sun exposure and smoking all contribute.
Fine lines fanning from the outer eye corner, most visible when smiling or squinting, sometimes remaining faintly visible at rest.
Anti-wrinkle injections gently soften the muscle activity so skin creases less during expression, with careful, conservative dosing to preserve a natural smile. Skin boosters and a tailored skincare routine support skin quality, with daily SPF emphasised given how vulnerable this area is to sun damage.
This delicate area requires a careful, conservative approach. Dr Sateei’s twenty-plus years of experience suit this precise treatment, at both her London (near Harley Street) and Sevenoaks clinics.
