Reduce eye wrinkles and improve skin quality
The skin around the eyes is thin and constantly in motion. Fine lines form, which become more pronounced over the years and develop into typical crow’s feet.
Eye wrinkles are caused by facial expressions such as laughing, blinking or squinting, as well as skin ageing and the loss of moisture and firmness. Expression lines can be treated with muscle relaxants. Crepey wrinkles and declining skin quality can be treated with polynucleotides, Profhilo, PRP or laser treatments. We place particular emphasis on natural-looking results.

The eye area influences your appearance
The eye area influences the entire facial expression. Fine lines, dry skin or deep-set wrinkles can make the eyes look more tense or tired. The overall appearance looks older. For us, the focus is a fresher, naturally softened eye area. Which treatment is suitable depends on whether facial expressions or skin quality play the bigger role.

Why eye wrinkles develop
The skin around the eyes is thinner than in other areas of the face and has fewer sebaceous glands. At the same time, it is in motion every day. Over time, the skin loses elasticity and moisture and becomes looser. Sun, stress, lack of sleep, smoking and genetic factors also affect the skin and the development of eye wrinkles.
Our gentle treatment options
What helps with expression-related eye wrinkles?
Expression-related eye wrinkles are caused by muscle activity. Typical examples are crow’s feet when laughing or squinting. With muscle relaxants such as botulinum toxin, we can gently smooth the skin. Natural facial expressions are preserved.
When are polynucleotides or Profhilo used?
These methods improve skin quality. Polynucleotides support regeneration and skin renewal, while Profhilo improves hydration and firmness. They are suitable for fine crepey lines, dry skin or a tired-looking eye area.
Which combinations make sense?
Expression lines are smoothed with botulinum toxin. Depending on your skin, we complement the treatment with polynucleotides, PRP, laser or microneedling. The goal is a fresh yet natural-looking eye area.
Alternative approaches
If the skin is more lax or volume is lacking, laser treatments, PRP or a cautious treatment with special fillers may be useful, depending on the findings. The best way to determine which method is right for you is to discuss it in person with our doctors.

Individual Consultation
Depending on what your skin, facial expressions and eye area require, we put together an individually tailored treatment plan to suit your face and the result you want.

Procedure
Initial consultation & assessment
In the initial consultation, we discuss your wishes and carefully analyse your skin, facial expressions and the eye area. We clarify which treatment options suit your appearance and your desired result.
Treatment plan
Based on the analysis, we decide together which method or combination will achieve the best possible result. The number of sessions and the exact treatment plan are also discussed.
Treatment
Botulinum toxin or hyaluronic acid is precisely administered to the eye area using the finest needles. Additional methods such as laser, microneedling or peeling can be sensibly combined if needed.
Care & aftercare
After the treatment, our team will give you individual advice on ideal skincare and the right aftercare. This helps you maintain the result optimally and preserve it long term.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about eye wrinkle treatment
Which treatment helps with eye wrinkles?
That depends on the cause. Expression lines are usually treated with the muscle relaxant botulinum toxin. For fine crepey lines or dry skin, skin-strengthening methods such as polynucleotides, skin boosters or laser treatments may also be considered.
What helps against crow’s feet?
Crow’s feet are the result of muscle movements around the eyes in the outer eye area combined with a decline in collagen and elastin as part of natural skin ageing. The skin becomes looser and wrinkles form. With active ingredients such as botulinum toxin, we can smooth these wrinkles and, if necessary, slow visible skin ageing.
Can eye wrinkles be treated without botulinum toxin?
If skin quality is the main focus, biostimulators, polynucleotides, PRP, laser, microneedling or skin boosters can be useful. These methods strengthen the skin structure but do not provide immediate smoothing effects.
Can cheeks be rejuvenated without fillers?
If it is primarily about strengthening skin quality, then polynucleotides, skin boosters such as Profhilo, PRP, laser, microneedling or peels are used. These procedures can improve structure, moisture and the overall skin appearance. If the cheeks are sunken, these methods are not sufficient.
How long does the effect of hyaluronic acid last?
The durability depends on the product, metabolism, expectations and the treatment area. Often the result lasts several months, sometimes over a year. You will receive an exact assessment individually during the consultation.
What are crepey lines under the eyes?
Crepey lines are fine, superficial lines that develop as a result of dry, thinning skin. Unlike expression lines such as crow’s feet, they are more difficult to treat with muscle relaxants such as botulinum toxin.
How long does the result last?
How long it lasts depends on the method and the condition of the skin. Botulinum toxin usually works for several months, while regenerative methods develop their effect gradually over weeks and last longer overall. Top-ups are possible with both approaches and are recommended for a more sustainable effect.
Will the eye area look unnatural afterwards?
With careful specialist treatment, natural facial expressions are preserved. The skin looks more youthful and fresher, but not overfilled or unnatural.
Which treatment improves skin quality around the eyes?
Approaches such as polynucleotides, Profhilo, PRP, needling and laser treatments can improve hydration, elasticity and the overall skin structure.
Will I be presentable after treatment?
After an injectable treatment, mild swelling, redness or small bruises may occur. This is normal and usually subsides within a few hours to days.
