Do Botox Injections Reduce Eye Lines
Crow’s feet, AKA lateral canthus lines, are what are called dynamic wrinkles. This means that the fine lines spring from muscle contractions, in particular squinting. There are a number of steps you can take to treat and slow down the progression of crow’s feet, including Botox. Botox is a toxin that when used in small doses temporarily paralyzes the muscle. When injected into the muscles around the eyes, the patient is stopped from squinting and thus from developing crow’s feet.
Find a qualified medical expert to do your Botox injections. Because Botox is a prescription drug and getting injections is a medical procedure, you should never allow anyone but a licensed medical expert to perform your process. Look for a cosmetic surgeon or a cosmetic dermatologist to do the job.
Have a consultation with your health practitioner first to figure out whether or not you are a suitable applicant for Botox treatments in your crow’s feet. This is a chance for your health practitioner to judge your health and for you to ask any questions you need answered.
Ask about other treatments to treat crow’s feet. Botox injections do not always treat etched-in wrinkles, so you could need further procedures such as a glycolic peel, fillers or brow lift to smooth out pre existing crow’s feet.
Botox stops the release of neurotransmitters from explicit nerves. When it is injected into the skin, it is taken up by the nerves, and over time blocks the release of neurotransmitters, shutting down those nerves.
In dermatology, we use botox to shut off the nerves that workmuscles in your face, like your forehead and brow. With those nerves blocked, you cannot contract the muscles, so they stay flat. It is analogous to having wrinkles in your jeans. While you are standing, the pants hang loosely and are smooth. When you sit, your thighs and hips wrinkle the material, forming creases or wrinkles. In the same way, when your facial muscles contract, they crunch up, creasing the skin and forming wrinkles.
Have the procedure done on a slow day. The procedure is fast and comparatively painless, but you may have some mild bruising and love round the injection sites. You can go back to work straight away, but you might not wish to take conferences with obvious needle marks around your eyes.
