Why it happens?

Crow’s feet develop as repeated facial movements, such as smiling and squinting, crease the delicate skin around the eyes. Over time, reduced collagen and skin elasticity, ageing, and sun exposure can make these lines deeper and more visible.

How far along is it?

Early

Fine lines appear around the outer corners of the eyes during smiling or squinting but are usually less visible when the face is relaxed.

Moderate

Crow’s feet become more noticeable and may remain visible when the face is relaxed, with fine lines gradually becoming deeper and more defined.

Advanced

Crow’s feet become deeper and more pronounced, remaining clearly visible at rest and extending further around the outer eye area.
