Get Rid of Crow's Feet

By Alina Karemin


As we age, our skin loses collagen. The skin begins to wrinkle and sag, and becomes less firm to the touch. The primary cause of crow's feet is age and a poor skin care routine. 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. Wrinkles are not only formed from age, the causes can range from sun exposure, your diet and even smoking. The way you age is affected heavily by these factors, but it's lucky that you can hold onto your youthful looks through non-surgical methods.

Crows feet is what we call those small lines that develop near the eye area. Then might be more noticeable when you are smiling. Over time they develop, and when people squint their eyes they are especially pronounced. Very seldom will you see crows feet in young people. However, crows feet can appear earlier than necessary because of premature aging and too much sun exposure. Their early formation can also be caused by smoking, it has been discovered.

Botox injections work by relaxing wrinkle forming facial muscles. As mentioned earlier, deep wrinkles, such as crow's feet, are due to repetitive facial expressions. One can dramatically improve their appearance and reduce the visibility of the wrinkles by weakening the muscles that are responsible for these facial expressions. The muscles can be weakened without taking away or detracting from one's facial expressiveness, by using Botox.

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. Most negative news about Botox is the result of misuse of this medication by inexperienced or non-licensed users often taking place in non-licensed or non-medical facilities.

As a nonsurgical procedure, Botox can be done well at a doctor's office. 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. For anywhere from 3 to 12 months, you will have results from Botox.

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. It blocks signals that cause the muscle to contract when it binds to the nerve ending, paralyzing the muscle.

Botox injections cause minimal side effects. There are a few instances of a bit of swelling and redness around the injection site and there is no recovery time. One can go back to their regular routine right after having the injection. Some individuals have reported a small amount of bruising, nausea, and headaches after an injection but they go away quite quickly.
