Cosmetic Treatment
Treating crows’ feet (lines around the eyes) with a wrinkle relaxer product is one of the most popular treatments in our clinic. As we age, fine lines and wrinkles can develop due to repetitive movement in the muscles. Initially, they are expressions otherwise known as dynamic wrinkles that occur on facial movement, but with time, they progress to become static lines or wrinkles visible at rest.
Crows’ feet wrinkles are the lines that form around the eyes. They form from the constant movement of the muscles in the area. Eye wrinkles occur when a person smiles, using the outside part of their orbicularis oculi muscle. Over time, these lines etch in permanently, even when the person is not smiling.
Genetics can also affect how deep your wrinkles and lines will form.
Wrinkle Relaxers are made up of botulinum toxins that temporarily block local nerve impulses that trigger contractions when injected into the facial muscles. This softens crows’ feet eye wrinkles and prevents even more lines from forming. As it is a prescription-only medication, it can only be administered by a medical professional at One Cosmetic.
It’s important to understand that this crows’ feet treatment is not a permanent solution — the result lasts for 3-4 months. If you have no further crows’ feet treatments, the muscles will return to their normal function and lines will gradually return to how they looked before injection.
The crows’ feet treatment involves thoroughly cleaning the area first. Your practitioner will then mark the area and determine where the toxin should be injected. A very small needle will complete several small injections before our practitioner explains the aftercare process.
Your wrinkle relaxer appointment will take about 15-30 minutes from start to finish. You can return to your regular activities as soon as the series of injections is completed.
At One Cosmetic, we use only the most advanced range of wrinkle relaxers. Due to Australian guidelines, we cannot use brand names online. However, we stock the two leading brands.

As always, there is risk involved with every treatment. At One Cosmetic we like our patients to be aware of risks and be well educated on the treatments they are undergoing. The risks associated with lip filler treatments are:
We regularly get asked about our procedures, so we have put together a couple of questions we get asked on a regular basis. If there is something else you would like to know, please get in touch!
No, our team is selective in who they treat. Below is a guide of patients who may not be suitable for treatment
You should start to see a visible improvement in the treated areas within a week. The full result will be noticeable at week 2 post treatment.
After a consultation one of our practitioners will determine how many units are required to treat the area. The normal dose is anywhere from 6-12 units for each side for crows feet treatment.
There is no right or wrong answer here. Patients may start having wrinkle relaxer treatments when lines and wrinkles on their face start to bother them, if they dont bother you, then you do not need to have them treated.
If you’re looking for a hard and fast rule about when to start treatment, we’re going to disappoint you, because there isn’t one. Although many people start getting preventive treatments in their 20s there’s no one “magic” age when you should start getting it.
Once you start noticing fine lines beginning to start, that’s when you should consider wrinkle relaxer. If you want to prevent the earliest fine lines from becoming full-blown wrinkles, preventative treatment can be the solution. Wrinkle relaxer is approved for patients who are 18 years and older and most experts agree that patients in their mid to late 20s are at a good age for preventative Botox treatment.
Most people wait until they start to see wrinkles before they seek treatment, but preventative treatment uses wrinkle relaxer to treat wrinkles before they emerge. By injecting the muscles that typically cause wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, and eyebrows with wrinkle relaxer before they start to develop wrinkles, you are essentially preventing them before they happen.
Our Wrinkle Relaxers are made up of botulinum toxins that temporarily block local nerve impulses that trigger contractions when injected into the facial muscles. This softens crows’ feet eye wrinkles and prevents even more lines from forming. For other alternative treatments, injections or topical creams with retinoids or hyaluronic acid may help. Consult our cosmetic physicians and dermal physicians at One Cosmetic for more advice.
Topical treatments with retinoids, peptides or hyaluronic acid can help reduce fine lines by enhancing skin texture and hydration. Laser treatments and microdermabrasion are other popular non-invasive options that promote collagen production and skin rejuvenation, which may reduce the appearance of crows’ feet. For more advice on alternative crows’ feet treatments, consult our team, who are more than happy to assist.
