Crow's feet in Laval

Yes, and this is when simple habits matter most. Protecting the corner of the eye from the sun, wearing sunglasses so you squint less and keeping the skin well hydrated all slow down what eventually etches the crease. Skin that is cared for early also keeps its suppleness longer. A facial that works on firmness fits that approach, at your own pace and with no schedule imposed on you. A preventive medical treatment is the doctor's call, assessed case by case. We never present it as a required step, or as what naturally comes after an esthetician treatment.

Partly, yes. Each time you squint, the muscle folds the skin exactly where crow's feet form, and bright light multiplies those movements over the course of a day. The sun also acts on the skin itself, damaging the fibres that let it return to shape after the crease. The two effects add up on the same small area. A good pair of sunglasses addresses both at once. If you also squint to read up close or to see far away, an up-to-date prescription takes a few more creases out of your day.

It depends on what dominates in your case. When it is mostly fine lines and skin that has lost some suppleness, a well-chosen esthetician treatment can clearly improve how the area looks. A crease driven mainly by the muscle, the one you see when you smile, responds less to surface work, because its cause sits beneath the skin. We will tell you plainly at the consultation. Nothing obliges you to go further, and working on the skin alone still makes sense when that is what you prefer.

Softened, yes. Erased completely, rarely, and we would rather tell you before you start. It all depends on what forms them in your case. The crease that only shows when you smile is the one that softens most visibly, when the movement that creates it is addressed. Fine resting lines fade with regular work on the skin. A crease set in over many years softens without returning to smooth skin. Your face also keeps moving and living. A result is maintained with sun protection and the right upkeep, and we tell you at the consultation what is realistic in your case.

Yes, and it often makes sense since both sit in the same area. The eye area is then looked at as a whole, so that work on the crease does not contrast with a shadow or a colour left just below. Some treatments address both, such as work on skin quality. Others target only one, and the order of sessions is decided before you start. Our page on dark circles explains what forms them and how to tell them apart.

No. They form where the face moves the most, and they show up early in people who smile a lot, often before any other line. They speak first of an expressive face. What changes with the years is that they stay visible at rest, once the skin loses some suppleness and the sun has left its mark. Softening them is your choice to make. We help you do it while keeping what makes your smile come alive.
