Say Goodbye to Crow’s Feet & Eye Wrinkles : How Injectables Can Help You Revitalise Your Eyes

Have you ever heard the saying that the eyes are the windows to the soul? While our eyes can reveal a lot about our emotions, they can also be a reflection of the effects of ageing, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits on our skin. As we age, our skin gradually loses its elasticity and resilience, leading to the development of wrinkles and fine lines around our eyes, such as crow’s feet. These visible signs of ageing can make us look tired, sad, and older than we actually are, which can impact our confidence.

Fortunately, there are options available for those who want to restore a youthful appearance without the risks and downtime of invasive surgical procedures. Injectables, such as neuromodulators and dermal fillers, have become a popular choice for reducing the signs of ageing around the eyes. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of injectable treatments and how they can help reduce the appearance of eye wrinkles.

What Causes Crow’s Feet and Eye Wrinkles?

To understand how injectables can help reduce the appearance of eye wrinkles, it’s essential to know what causes them. Collagen and elastin are two essential proteins that keep the skin firm, elastic, and youthful-looking. However, the production of these proteins slows down as we age, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of ageing. External factors like sun damage, smoking, poor diet, and lack of sleep can also contribute to the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin. Additionally, the natural ageing process leads to a decrease in the skin’s natural oils and hydration levels, which can further exacerbate the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

What Are Injectables?

There are two main types of injectables that are commonly used to treat eye wrinkles: neuromodulators and dermal fillers. While both treatments involve injections, they work in different ways to achieve similar results. Let’s explore!

Neuromodulators

Neuromodulators, including Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, are made from a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. By injecting neuromodulators into the muscles around the eyes, the nerve signals to the muscles are blocked, preventing them from contracting. This helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes, and the effects typically last around 3-4 months. Neuromodulators also have the added benefit of preventing wrinkles from forming in the first place by relaxing the muscles around the eyes, preventing repeated facial expressions that can lead to the formation of wrinkles over time.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin that maintains skin hydration and elasticity. As we age, the amount of hyaluronic acid in our skin decreases, contributing to signs of ageing around our eyes. Dermal fillers work by creating a plumping effect that smooths out wrinkles, fills in hollows, and adds volume to the face, particularly effective for deeper folds and creases such as tear troughs. Dermal fillers provide immediate effects, with results lasting between 6-18 months depending on the specific product used. Read more about our Dermal Filler Treatments.

What Is the Right Choice for Me?

The right treatment option for you will depend on your individual needs and goals. If you have dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movements and facial expressions, neuromodulators like Botox may be a better option. If you have static wrinkles that are present even when your face is at rest, dermal fillers may be a better choice. Consulting with a qualified practitioner can help you determine which treatment is best suited for your unique situation.

Choosing a Reputable Provider & Minimising Risks

If you’re considering injectables to revitalise your eyes, it’s important to do your research and choose a reputable provider. Look for a clinic or practitioner with a good reputation and plenty of experience in administering injectables. You should also be aware of the potential risks and side effects associated with these treatments, which can include bruising, swelling, and infection. In addition, it’s important to follow all pre- and post-treatment instructions to ensure optimal results and minimise side effects. This may include avoiding certain medications and supplements, applying ice to the treated area, and avoiding excessive sun exposure.
