What Are Crows Feet and Can You Get Rid of Them?
When you hear the term “crow’s feet,” it’s likely that a very specific image comes to mind. That of an older woman reminiscing on her younger days and more vibrant skin - a scene we’ve seen reenacted in countless sitcoms and movies. However, the sad truth is that crow’s feet can happen to anybody, and tend to come much earlier than you think.
What Are Crow’s Feet?
Crow’s feet are pronounced wrinkles that appear in the corner of the eye, named as such because they resemble the toes of the bird. They’re one of the first signs that you’re getting older… and while we definitely believe that aging is a natural and beautiful process, Youth Haus is happy to diminish fine lines around the eyes with a simple treatment. We’re here to tell you all about Crow’s feet and why they don’t have to be a thing on your next birthday.
Why Do You Get Crows Feet
Crow’s feet vary for every individual, with some only getting a few faint lines around the eyes while others have deeper and more noticeable wrinkles. However, these types of lines are generally more pronounced than wrinkles on other areas of the face. Why is that? Because the skin around your eyes is roughly ten times thinner than the rest of your body, making it much more prone to wrinkles, environmental damage, and other signs of aging. And then you have to consider the facts - your body naturally loses collagen as you age, and your eye skin gets a major workout as you change facial expressions from “yes, they brought donuts to work today!” to “oh man, there’s none left, I’m so annoyed.” This means that creams, serums, and a solid skincare routine can only do so much when trying to reduce wrinkles… but Botox may just be the solution you’re looking for to diminish Crow’s feet.
Why Should I Consider Botox?
Don’t let the word “Botox” scare you, as the treatment is extremely simple, safe, and effective when working to diminish wrinkles, especially Crow’s feet. It’s also used by people of all ages, as early as their 20’s and 30’s, meaning that it’s ideal as a preventative measure even if you don’t have Crow’s feet yet. Youth Haus performs this treatment in just a few minutes, injecting the skin around your eyes with a diluted form of botulinum toxin to block local nerve impulses to muscles within the face. With less of the muscle contraction that generally causes wrinkles, you’ll see a major reduction in the appearance of Crow’s feet and/or prevent them from forming anytime soon. Pretty incredible, right?
Does Botox Hurt?
We know what you’re thinking: does it hurt? The answer is mostly no. The needles are so small that you’ll only feel a minor pinch, and any soreness immediately after getting Botox will subside quickly. You’ll also begin to see results in as little to four to seven days after receiving treatment, meaning that it may be time to try your favorite smokey eye makeup look again - without having to worry about Crow’s feet. Book your appointment at Youth Haus today and watch any sign of Crow’s feet vanish right before your younger-looking eyes.
