Rid Yourself of Crows Feet

By Alina Karemin


Our skin loses collagen as we age. This causes the skin to starting wrinkling and sagging, and it develops a lack of firmness. 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. The causes of wrinkles range from sun exposure, diet and even smoking, not just age. Luckily there are non-surgical ways of holding on to your youthful looks, even if these factors can play heavily in the way you age.

Crows feet are simply fine lines that form around your eyes. Then might be more noticeable when you are smiling. Over time they develop, and when people squint their eyes they are especially pronounced. You will seldom see crows feet in youth. But, premature aging and too much sun exposure can cause crows feet to appear earlier than necessary. It has been discovered that smoking also contributes to their early formation.

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. 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. It only takes 5-10 minutes for a treatment. 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. Botox is a neurotoxin that can paralyze muscles that are contracting, when it is used in small amounts. Botox is injected into the affected area for example around your eyes where crow's feet form, and then it binds to that nerves ending. 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. Some individuals have reported a small amount of bruising, nausea, and headaches after an injection but they go away quite quickly.
