CROWS FEET

The fine lines and wrinkles that surround the outer corner of your eyes are referred to as Crows Feet.

Crows Feet are a common concern for individuals as they age. Ageing results in a loss of skin elasticity and collagen, whereby you will have looser skin, that creases to create wrinkles. 

A chemical is used to inject your muscles. Once this chemical has taken it’s effect on your muscles, it temporarily blocks signals from your nervous system which normally would tell your muscles to move.

When your muscle do not receive a signal to move, they appear to be ‘frozen’ essentially leaving you without wrinkles! 

After you’ve had your treatment, you may notice some stinging or slight bruising where the needle was injected. These effects are temporary and will subside.

Youth drop injections can take several days to take effect, don’t worry if nothing happens in the few days after  your treatment. This is normal.
