Wrinkles around the eyes, also known as crow’s feet, are one of the first signs of ageing. As we age, the body’s ability to produce collagen is reduced. It is collagen that is responsible for keeping our skin strong and healthy looking. In addition to this, Elastin production is also reduced, which means that, with repetitive facial animation the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles often occur. The delicate skin around the eyes doesn’t hydrate itself as other areas of the skin does. Often it requires a little extra help to stay healthy.

Forehead lines are often caused by frontalis muscle activity. As the eyebrows are raised, this muscle contracts to cause horizontal wrinkles above the brow.

Frown lines and furrows result from activity of the glabella muscles. This can often significantly impact on self-confidence.

A variety of factors can make these wrinkles worse, including genetics, age, sun exposure, poor skin care and smoking.

These bothersome lines can be treated in a number of ways, most popular options are often Botox or dermal fillers.
