Eliminate Crow's Feet

By Alina Karemin


As we age, our skin loses collagen. This causes the skin to starting wrinkling and sagging, and it develops a lack of firmness. Crows feet are primarily caused by a poor skin care routine and age. The skin around one's eyes is the most delicate skin on your body so we should always remove make up with a gentle cosmetic and cotton pads, wear sun cream, moisturize daily and drink plenty of water. The causes of wrinkles range from sun exposure, diet and even smoking, not just age. These factors can play heavily in the way you age but luckily there are non-surgical ways of holding on to your youthful looks.

Fine lines that form around your eyes are called crows feet. When you smile, you may notice them more. They become more pronounced over the years, especially when people are squinting. You will seldom see crows feet in youth. Unfortunately, crows feet often make an appearance too soon, due to too much sun exposure and premature aging. Their early formation can also be caused by smoking, it has been discovered.

Botox injections work by relaxing wrinkle forming facial muscles. Deep wrinkles, such as crows feet, are caused by repetitive facial expressions, as mentioned earlier. Weakening the muscles that are responsible for these facial expressions can dramatically improve one's appearance and reduce the visibility of the wrinkles. Without taking away or detracting from one's facial expressiveness, Botox can weaken the muscles.

Many people who potentially could be helped by this medicine have been frightened by the popular media, which has caused much confusion and misinformation about Botox. Misuse of this medication by inexperienced or non-licensed users often taking place in non-licensed or non-medical facilities has caused most of the negative news about Botox.

In a doctor's office, this nonsurgical procedure can be done properly. It only takes 5-10 minutes for a treatment. Improvement in the reduction of wrinkles can be seen within 24 hours with continued improvement for up to 5 days. Botox effects remain for at least 3 months, and could endure for up to one year.

Botox is a prescription drug and should not be used by those who have not been trained how to inject the substance. Botox is a neurotoxin that can paralyze muscles that are contracting, when it is used in small amounts. For instance, Botox binds to the nerve ending when it is injected into the affected area, such as where crows feet form near the eyes. By binding to the nerve ending it blocks signals to the muscle that cause it to contract, causing paralysis in that muscle.

Side effects of Botox injections are very minimal. Occasionally there can be minor redness and swelling near the injection site if the recovery time is skipped. One can go back to their regular routine right after having the injection. Occasionally, patients experience a small amount of nausea, bruising or headaches following a treatment, however these quickly diminish.
