Our skin loses collagen as we age. 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 most delicate skin on the body is around one's eyes, so it is important to wear sun cream, moisturize daily, drink plenty of water, and to always remove make up with a gentle cosmetic and cotton pads. 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. When you smile, you may notice them more. 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. Their early formation can also be caused by smoking, it has been discovered.
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. Without taking away or detracting from one's facial expressiveness, Botox can weaken the muscles.
There is much confusion and misinformation about Botox in the popular media which has frightened many people who potentially could be helped by this medicine. 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.
As a nonsurgical procedure, Botox can be done well at a doctor's office. The treatment takes only 5-10 minutes. Improvement in the reduction of wrinkles can be seen within 24 hours with continued improvement for up to 5 days. For anywhere from 3 to 12 months, you will have results from Botox.
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. For example, when Botox is injected into the affected area where crows feet form around your eyes, it then binds to the nerve ending. By binding to the nerve ending it blocks signals to the muscle that cause it to contract, causing paralysis in that muscle.
There are minimal side effects from Botox injections. 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. Some individuals have reported a small amount of bruising, nausea, and headaches after an injection but they go away quite quickly.
