Get Rid of Crow's Feet

By Alina Karemin


Our skin loses collagen as we age. This means that the skin is less firm to the touch and begins to wrinkle and sag. The primary cause of crow's feet is age and a poor skin care routine. 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. Age is not the only cause of wrinkles; sun exposure, your diet and even smoking are factors. 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. 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. 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. 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.

As a nonsurgical procedure, Botox can be done well at a doctor's office. The treatment takes only 5-10 minutes. Within one day, improvement in the reduction of wrinkles can be seen, with up to 5 days of continued improvement. For anywhere from 3 to 12 months, you will have results from Botox.

Botox should not be used by those who have not been trained how to inject the substance - it is a prescription drug. Botox is a neurotoxin, and used in small amounts can paralyze muscles that are contracting. 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. In some cases, when there is no recovery time a patient has experienced some swelling and redness around the injection site. You can resume you regular routine straightaway after the injection. Some individuals have reported a small amount of bruising, nausea, and headaches after an injection but they go away quite quickly.
