As we age, our skin loses collagen. 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. 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. 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.
Fine lines that form around your eyes are called crows feet. When you smile, you may notice them more. Over the years, they become more pronounced especially when people squint their eyes. 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. As mentioned earlier, deep wrinkles, such as crow's feet, are due to repetitive facial expressions. 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.
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. When inexperienced or non-licensed users misuse this medication, especially in non-licensed or non-medical facilities, it leads to negative news about Botox.
Botox is a nonsurgical procedure and can be done right in one's 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. Botox results may last anywhere from 3 to 12 months.
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 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. When it binds to the nerve ending, blocking signals to the muscle that causes it to contract, it causes paralysis in that muscle.
There are minimal side effects from Botox injections. 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.
