Crow’s feet, also known as eye wrinkles, are fine lines or wrinkles that develop at the outer corners of the eyes. They resemble the shape of a bird’s foot, which gives them their unique name. These lines are often one of the first visible signs of aging, as the skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate compared to other areas of the face.
Crow’s feet are primarily caused by repetitive facial expressions like smiling, squinting, or laughing, which contract the underlying muscles and crease the skin over time. As we age, the skin loses elasticity and collagen, making these lines more prominent. Other factors, such as sun exposure, smoking, and dehydration, can accelerate their development. While crow’s feet are a natural part of the aging process, treatments such as skincare products, Botox, or dermal fillers can help reduce their appearance and restore a smoother, more youthful look.
