Eye Wrinkles /Crow's Feet

Lines around the eyes give a variety of emotional expressions, most of which convey a negative impression. These Crow's Feet are the result of normal but excessive muscle action of the underlying sphincter muscle of the eye and produce wrinkles that radiate outward in a 'sunray' effect. Elimination or softening of these lines is a frequently requested procedure. Botox alone is a great treatment for young patients given its prophylactic effects. While this request is simple, in the older population, adequately treating crow's feet often requires combining Botox with a rejuvenating treatment such as Laser Genesis and / or Carboxytherapy to obtain optimal results. With most rejuvenating treatments, a good long-term result is only possible if the underlying muscle action is controlled with Botox.

Since the eyelids and the surrounding skin is quite thin, it is an area that is particularly responsive to Laser Genesis™ resurfacing which uses a light to moderate depth laser with no downtime. The crow's feet area is pre-treated with Botox followed by Laser Genesis™ Rejuvenation two weeks later.

Botox combined with Carboxytherapy treatments around the eye area performed two weeks later is also producing great long term eye rejuvenating results. Eight out of ten patients get a noticeable improvement in skin laxity around the eyes after the first two treatments.

However for patients that are apprehensive about the effects of Botox® there are, new technologies such as Carboxytherapy. With Carboxytherapy the prospects of a more open expression in the eye and brow area are now possible and ageing around the eye area such as crow's feet, dark circles, eye bags and crêpey skin can be improved on, especially if Carboxytherapy treatments are initiated early on in the ageing process.

Home Therapies:

At Skin Renewal we offer traditional topical home therapies such as AHA s, PHA s, Retinol and home Dermarollers to improve eye wrinkles. We are excited to introduce recent advances in collagen stimulation home therapies such as the Dermaheal range of growth factors and from Lamelle Research laboratories. Once the signs of ageing appear around the eyes and this occurs in the late twenties, it is time to initiate the most powerful corrective treatments and topical therapies available such as growth factors to improve collagen content and thereby improve the wrinkles. The Dermaheal Intensive Eye Regeneration serum is intended to be used in conjunction with a robust in-office programme such as Laser Genesis for peri orbital rejuvenation. Used in conjunction this is the most effective non surgical home weapon available. The features and benefits:

• 50% Greater concentration of Growth Factors and Peptides than Dermaheal Eye regeneration cream
• Epidermal growth factor (EGF) renews the epidermal cells
• Fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) renews the dermis and epidermis
• Insulin Growth Factor (IGF-1) acts synergistically with the EGF and bFGF
• Perfect combination of additional anti-aging peptides; IDP-5 is a very powerful GF mimicking peptide (see below);
• Copper tri-peptide keeps the skin optimally protected and stimulated
