How to fix crow's feet & eye wrinkles
a smoother, brighter eye area
Crow's feet are expression lines that fan out from the outer corners of the eyes, while under-eye wrinkles come from thin, dry, collagen-depleted skin. Each responds to a different treatment, so most people do best with a gentle combination.

What is the best treatment for crow's feet?
For crow's feet caused by smiling and squinting, Botox is the most direct option: it relaxes the muscle at the outer eye, typically softening lines within 1–2 weeks for around 3–4 months. Fine, crepey lines under the eye respond better to skin quality treatments such as Rejuran(PDRN) and hyaluronic skin boosters, while Potenza or gentle eye-area tightening can improve texture and firmness. At JIA your doctor combines these conservatively for a natural expression.
The thinnest skin on your face
Eye-area skin is very thin and moves constantly, so it is often the first place lines appear — sometimes already in the late 20s.
Repeated expression
Smiling and squinting fold the skin at the outer eye thousands of times a day.
Thin skin & collagen loss
Under-eye skin loses collagen quickly, becoming crepey and lined.
Dryness
Fewer oil glands mean eye skin dehydrates easily, which makes lines look deeper.
Sun, stress & genetics
UV, eye rubbing, poor sleep and inherited skin type all play a part.
Treatments we use around the eyes
Your doctor matches each treatment to the type of line:
- Botox – softens crow's feet and helps stop them deepening
- Rejuran (eye formulation) – PDRN to strengthen thin under-eye skin
- Hyaluronic skin boosters – fine hydration for early lines
- LDM ultrasound therapy – calming support for fragile, reactive skin
- Shurink or Thermage (eye area) – gentle tightening around the eyes
- Potenza – RF microneedling for texture-type wrinkles
- Laser rejuvenation – improves surface lines and pigmentation
Softer lines, natural smile

Eye wrinkle questions, answered
How long does Botox for crow's feet last?
Typically around 3–4 months, sometimes longer with regular treatment. Effects start within a few days and settle at about 2 weeks.
What helps crepey under-eye wrinkles?
Under-eye lines are usually a skin-quality issue, so Rejuran, hyaluronic skin boosters and gentle collagen-stimulating treatments tend to help more than Botox.
At what age should I start treating crow's feet?
There is no fixed age. Many people start light preventive treatment in their late 20s or 30s when lines begin to stay at rest.
Will Botox make my smile look frozen?
Not when dosed conservatively. Your doctor aims to soften lines while keeping a natural, warm smile.
Is there downtime after eye wrinkle treatment?
Little to none. Tiny injection marks or slight swelling usually settle within a day or two.
