Get Rid of Crow's Feet

By Alina Karemin


Our skin loses collagen as we age. The skin begins to wrinkle and sag, and becomes less firm to the touch. Crows feet are primarily caused by a poor skin care routine and age. You should always remove make up with a gentle cosmetic and cotton pads, wear sun cream, moisturize daily and drink plenty of water, because the skin around your eyes is the most delicate skin on your body. 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.

Crows feet are simply fine lines that form around your eyes. Then might be more noticeable when you are smiling. They become more pronounced over the years, especially when people are squinting. Very seldom will you see crows feet in young people. But, premature aging and too much sun exposure can cause crows feet to appear earlier than necessary. Also contributing to their early formation is smoking, studies show.

Botox injections work by relaxing wrinkle forming facial muscles. Deep wrinkles, such as crows feet, are caused by repetitive facial expressions, as mentioned earlier. One's appearance can be dramatically improved, and the wrinkles become less noticeable, when the muscles responsible for these facial expressions are weakened. 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. When inexperienced or non-licensed users misuse this medication, especially in non-licensed or non-medical facilities, it leads to negative news about Botox.

In a doctor's office, this nonsurgical procedure can be done properly. In less than 10 minutes, your treatment will be completed. Within one day, improvement in the reduction of wrinkles can be seen, with up to 5 days of continued improvement. Botox results may last anywhere from 3 to 12 months.

Those who have not been trained should not inject Botox - it is a prescription drug. 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.

Botox injections cause minimal side effects. 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.
