Concerns Around Fine Lines Near the Eyes

Fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes—commonly referred to as “crow’s feet”—are a natural part of facial movement and expression over time. These lines may become more noticeable with age and are often most visible when smiling or squinting.

If you’re exploring options to soften the appearance of these lines or achieve a more refreshed look, we offer consultations with qualified practitioners to discuss suitable, non-surgical cosmetic approaches.

Aesthetic Concerns Around Eye Lines

Although expression lines near the eyes often form from smiling and laughter, they can sometimes make individuals feel they appear more tired or aged than they feel. If you’re exploring non-surgical cosmetic options to refresh this area, a consultation with a qualified practitioner can help determine what may be suitable for your goals.

What to Expect After a Cosmetic Procedure

Following a non-surgical cosmetic treatment near the eyes, some clients notice no immediate changes. In other cases, temporary effects such as redness, mild swelling, or small bumps can occur. These usually resolve quickly.

Results from certain cosmetic procedures may take several days to become noticeable, with the full aesthetic outcome generally visible within a few weeks. Your practitioner may recommend a follow-up appointment to assess your progress and overall satisfaction.

Risks & Complications

Not Suitable for Certain Individuals

Non-surgical cosmetic treatments may not be appropriate for individuals with specific conditions or circumstances. These include:

A history of disorders affecting nerve-muscle function (e.g., Myasthenia Gravis or Eaton Lambert Syndrome).
Currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy.
An active infection, cold sore, or other skin condition at the intended treatment site.
A previous allergic reaction or sensitivity to similar cosmetic treatments.

A comprehensive consultation with a qualified practitioner will help assess whether the treatment is suitable based on individual health needs.

General Considerations for Non-Surgical Procedures

As with any non-surgical cosmetic procedure, there may be some temporary effects. These can include:

Mild bruising
Discomfort
Temporary swelling
Headache

Each individual’s experience may vary, and a consultation with a qualified practitioner will help you understand the potential outcomes and risks associated with treatment.

Specific Risks

As with any cosmetic treatment, there may be specific considerations to be aware of. These can include:

Variable Results: The effects of treatment may vary between individuals, and it is sometimes necessary to adjust dosing to achieve the desired outcome. A gradual approach may be taken to ensure the best result.

Temporary Effects: In some rare cases, unintended temporary changes to muscle function may occur, leading to visible effects such as:

Eyelid drooping (upper eyelid ptosis) if injections are placed near the eyebrow.
Brow heaviness (ptosis) from forehead injections.
Uneven smile appearance if injections near the crow’s feet affect muscles that assist with smiling.
Temporary changes in facial expressions or minor asymmetry near the mouth or lower lip.

These effects are uncommon, and every effort is made to minimise such risks during the procedure. If you have any concerns or questions, please discuss them with your practitioner during your consultation.

Procedure information

Non-surgical cosmetic treatments may be used to address the appearance of fine lines around the eyes, commonly referred to as crow’s feet. During your consultation, a qualified practitioner will assess your facial features and discuss your aesthetic goals.

The procedure involves the careful administration of injectable treatment in targeted areas around the eyes to soften the visible lines. Results can vary between individuals, and follow-up appointments may be recommended to assess the outcome and determine if further treatment is necessary.

As with any procedure, potential temporary effects may occur, and your practitioner will provide detailed information about these during your consultation.

Procedure FAQs

What is the cost of this treatment.

Are Treatments More Expensive at a Plastic Surgery Clinic?

In many ‘cosmetic’ clinics there is often little to no oversight by a medical practitioner.
However the overall cost may not be all that different to other ‘cheaper’ clinics due to the following:

The skill of practitioner is in targeting the exact facial muscles to produce the desired effect. You may receive more product elsewhere to achieve the same effect versus precise placement of toxin, which can reduce the dose needed.
We believe in gentle titration of effect – so rather than give you a big dose upfront, we will give you a smaller dose at the first visit (therefore reducing cost) and will ask you to return at the two week mark. If you require additional dosing, you are only charged for the product used. By titrating the effect, we aim to reduce the cost for you.
We will happily suggest to you that these injections are not warranted if it will not produce the results you desire.

Being a surgical practice, we can indicate to you if the benefits of surgery may outweigh the benefits and cost of non-surgical treatments.
