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 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. 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 is what we call those small lines that develop near the eye area. Then might be more noticeable when you are smiling. They become more pronounced over the years, especially when people are squinting. You will seldom see crows feet in youth. However, crows feet can appear earlier than necessary because of premature aging and too much sun exposure. 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's appearance can be dramatically improved, and the wrinkles become less noticeable, when the muscles responsible for these facial expressions are weakened. 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. Most negative news about Botox is the result of misuse of this medication by inexperienced or non-licensed users often taking place in non-licensed or non-medical facilities.
As a nonsurgical procedure, Botox can be done well at a doctor's office. In less than 10 minutes, your treatment will be completed. Reduction of wrinkles is evident in less than 24 hours, and for up to 5 days there is 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. Used in small amounts, Botox, which is a neurotoxin, 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.
There are minimal side effects from Botox injections. Occasionally there can be minor redness and swelling near the injection site if the recovery time is skipped. Right after having the injection, one can go back to their regular routine. Some individuals have reported a small amount of bruising, nausea, and headaches after an injection but they go away quite quickly.
