Crow’s Feet Treatment in Hamburg
Smooth, firm skin around the eyes – for a youthful look
What Are Crow’s Feet?
Crow’s feet are small wrinkles that form around the eyes as most people age. When these wrinkles appear in middle age, they are often seen as a sign of premature skin aging, especially among smokers. For those affected, crow’s feet can cause psychological distress.
Benefits of the Crow’s Feet Treatment
Treatment Options for Crow’s Feet
Modern aesthetic medicine offers various options for slowing down the premature development of crow’s feet and correcting wrinkles that have already formed.
Botox
The most commonly used method is injecting the skin with the muscle relaxant botulinum toxin (Botox). Botox helps to restrict muscle movement in the affected skin region, relaxing the skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. The full effect of Botox develops over a few days and typically lasts between three to seven months, after which a top-up may be required.
Laser
Alternatively, treatment with a fractionated CO2 laser is an option. The laser’s rays penetrate the skin and heat it, stimulating collagen production, which can help tighten the skin and smooth out wrinkles.
Hyaluronic Acid Injections
Injecting hyaluronic acid into crow’s feet is another effective option. Hyaluronic acid plays a key role in stabilizing connective tissue and helps the skin retain moisture, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Treatment Procedure for Crow’s Feet
Personalised Consultation
As with all our treatments, a detailed consultation is provided before proceeding. Together, the different procedures are discussed, their advantages and disadvantages are weighed in your specific case, and the best treatment option is decided upon.
Fast, Professional Treatment
Botox or hyaluronic acid injections for wrinkles take only a few minutes, allowing you to resume daily activities immediately after. Laser therapy may require several sessions, with the exact number determined individually at the start of treatment.
Aftercare with a Free Follow-up Treatment
At our Traumpraxis Hamburg, you receive a free follow-up correction after 14 days following every muscle relaxant treatment. This is how we make sure your result matches your expectations exactly.
Protecting the Skin After the Appointment
With all three treatment options, slight irritation or swelling of the treated skin may occur. This is minimized by cooling the skin immediately after treatment, and any discomfort usually subsides within two to three days. In rare cases, allergic reactions may occur, which can be managed with anti-allergic medication.
How Long Do the Results Last?
The duration of effect varies for each treatment option. For Botox and hyaluronic acid treatments, refreshing the injections after about six months is recommended, though the effects can last longer depending on individual factors like how quickly the body breaks down the injected substances.
The effects of laser treatment can remain visible for up to three years, provided the skin is adequately protected from environmental influences such as UV light during this time.
Preventing Crow’s Feet – What You Can Do at Home
UV light is a major risk factor for the development of crow’s feet and other wrinkles. Therefore, using sunscreen with a high SPF, especially in summer, is crucial. Make sure to apply enough sunscreen around the eyes, an area often neglected. Wearing good sunglasses can also be beneficial.
Additionally, reducing or eliminating alcohol and tobacco consumption is important, as smoking, in particular, accelerates skin aging.
Staying hydrated is also essential. Drink plenty of water regularly, and use moisturizers to help prevent crow’s feet and counteract premature skin aging.
Finally, regular exercise is recommended, as it improves blood circulation to the facial skin, helping to regenerate tissue and maintain firmness. The benefits of exercise also contribute to overall well-being and long-term health.

All treatment methods offered are generally low-risk. In rare cases, Botox injections can lead to an overreaction in the muscles, causing more restriction in the treated area than intended. Laser treatment may trigger a flare-up of herpes in patients with a history of herpes.
With any of these procedures, the skin may be more irritated than usual for two to three days post-treatment, and swelling may occur.
