2. Crow’s Feet:

Crows’ feet are small wrinkles around the eyes, classically starting at the outer corner of the eye. Many people associate crows’ feet with age, as they tend to deepen and expand with age, and some people consider crow’s feet to be an undesirable trait. A number of products and services can be found for people who want to reduce their crows’ feet, although most dermatologists agree that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure in this case, and recommend a number of techniques for preventing the formation of crow’s feet in the first place.

Crow’s Feet can be treated by:

Botox: Botox can revitalize your appearance. This treatment utilizes Botulinum Toxin Type A to remove wrinkles. This product was first intended to treat neurological disorders, however modern medicine soon discovered its benefits of removing facial lines, especially crow’s feet, forehead lines, and even frown lines.  Botox injenctions wear off after several months and can be reapplied as needed. People everywhere are hailing this treatment as the fountain of youth in an injection. It’s fast, easy, and practically painless. This minimally invasive procedure is empowering people everywhere to look and feel younger than they have in ages.

Crow’s feet reduction using surgery for a more lasting solution.  The condition known as Crow’s feet describes the fine lines and/or wrinkling located around one’s eyes. These lines generally tend to branch out horizontally from the area of the eye toward region of the ear. Many times, they are caused by the act of repetitive squinting because facial muscles being strained are what cause the tissue to fold. Much like other forms of wrinkles on the face, crow’s feet may be partly caused by sun damage or other environmental factors.  By nature, they are also caused by sun exposure, but excessive smoking can make them a lot worse.
