Get Rid of Crow's Feet

By Alina Karemin


Collagen is lost from our skin as part of the aging process. This means that the skin is less firm to the touch and begins to wrinkle and sag. 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. 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.

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. Unfortunately, crows feet often make an appearance too soon, due to too much sun exposure and premature aging. Also contributing to their early formation is smoking, studies show.

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

The popular media has caused much confusion and misinformation about Botox; as a result, many people who potentially could be helped by this medicine have been frightened away from it. 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. 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 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. Used in small amounts, Botox, which is a neurotoxin, can paralyze muscles that are contracting. For example, when Botox is injected into the affected area where crows feet form around your eyes, it then binds to the nerve ending. When it binds to the nerve ending, blocking signals to the muscle that causes it to contract, it causes paralysis in that 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. A small amount of bruising, nausea, and headache after an injection has been reported by some individuals, but these symptoms go away rapidly.
