Crow's Feet Treatment in Vancouver
Consultation-first treatment for the fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes, at our Fairview Skin Lab. We assess the eye area carefully before anything is decided.
Book a ConsultationCrow's feet are the fine wrinkles that fan out from the outer corners of the eyes. They're tied to some of the most human things we do, smiling, laughing, squinting in the sun. Plenty of people in Vancouver are fond of them for exactly that reason.
Others would rather they were softer, since around the eyes they can read as tiredness. If that's you, it's worth a conversation. Before any product, you sit down with a licensed injector and walk through the eye area, what you're hoping for, and whether treatment makes sense for you at all.
We're in Fairview, a block from Kitsilano.

Little to none for most, variesOur Approach
One rule shapes everything we do: you should still look like you.
The eyes are the most expressive part of the face, and they're where an unnatural result is noticed fastest. A good outcome keeps your smile looking like your smile.
It's the reason the consultation comes first, the reason we start measured, and the reason we'd rather you do less than too much. Subtle isn't a compromise here. It's the whole point.
About Crow's Feet Treatment in Vancouver
The eye area is one of the most common things people ask us about, and one of the ones we slow down on the most. Plenty of our consultations here end with a suggestion to start smaller, wait, or skip it for now. The consultation matters more than the appointment.
Not all lines around the eyes behave the same way. Some fan out only when you smile or squint and settle again when your face is at rest. Others start to linger even when the face is still. At a consultation a licensed injector looks at which kind you're seeing, how the outer corners of the eyes move, and how the skin sits there, because that reading is what shapes an honest conversation about whether treatment makes sense and what a measured plan might look like.
When treatment is the right tool for the eye area, the options discussed may include a neuromodulator. At FaceCrime the neuromodulators we work with are Botox, Dysport, and Nuceiva. They're named here so you know what's available, not because one is right for everyone. Which option, if any, suits you is decided in person with a licensed injector, after your medical history and your goals have been talked through openly.
The appointment itself is short, usually 15 to 30 minutes. Most people find any discomfort minimal, and there's little to no downtime for most. You can stop or pause at any point.
Other Approaches We May Discuss
Neuromodulators are one option among several. Depending on what your assessment shows, other approaches available at FaceCrime may also be discussed. Which of these, if any, suits you is decided in person with a licensed practitioner.

What to Expect at FaceCrime
The eye area rewards a careful hand. It's small, it's mobile, and it's the first place people tend to look, which is exactly why we slow down here instead of speeding up. FaceCrime is a small, personalized Skin Lab in Fairview, built around the idea that aesthetics work best when they're considered and connected to your broader health. We don't say that to sound good. It's how the place actually runs.
- Treatments performed by licensed injectors in a regulated medical environment
- The outer corners of the eyes assessed while your face moves, not only at rest
- Options talked through openly during your appointment, with no push to proceed
- A calm, judgment-free clinic in Vancouver
- A naturopathic team in the same building, since skin and internal health are connected
Skin reflects what's happening inside. For some of our clients, that's where the real conversation starts. If you're curious about how internal physiology and aesthetics connect, take a look at our naturopathic aesthetics write-up, or bring it up at your consultation.

The Process
Consultation
We sit down first. Medical history, what you're hoping for, and how the outer corners of your eyes move when you smile and squint. If treatment isn't the right call for you right now, we say so.
Planning
If it is the right call, we map the eye area and walk through options, approach, and what's realistic for skin that's thin and expressive here. Nothing happens until the plan makes sense to you.
Treatment
The appointment is short, usually 15 to 30 minutes. A very fine needle is used around the outer eye, and you're awake, aware, and can stop at any point.
Aftercare
Simple written aftercare to take home. Because the full effect settles over about two weeks, we suggest waiting until then before judging the result.
Other Areas People Ask About
The eye area often comes up alongside others in Vancouver. These are the ones we get asked about most, all part of the same consultation-first conversation.
Frown Lines (the 11s)

Crow's Feet FAQs
What causes crow's feet?
They come from everyday expression, like smiling and squinting, combined with time and natural changes to skin. They're a normal part of an expressive face. At a consultation we assess the eye area individually.
What are the options for crow's feet?
Options are discussed with a licensed injector at your consultation and depend on your features and goals. Some people explore a neuromodulator such as Botox, Dysport, or Nuceiva; others consider skincare or other approaches. Which option, if any, suits you is decided together.
Is the eye area more delicate to work with?
The eye area is expressive and individual, which is why it's assessed carefully and planned around your features. A licensed injector will explain what's realistic for you before anything is decided.
Is there any downtime?
For most people there's little to no downtime, though this varies. Some minor bruising at the injection sites is possible. Your injector talks you through what to expect for your specific plan.
How much does treatment cost?
Pricing depends on the plan agreed at your consultation, since it varies by the approach and the amount used. You'll know the full cost before anything is booked. See our Botox cost page.
