Botox Crows Feet — Correcting Clingy Eye Wrinkles Clinically

Botched Botox Crows Feet — A Word Of Caution

Only a qualified injector knows that Botox is an effective anti ageing solution but also knows that too much of it can take away your natural facial expressions. Moreover, when it comes to Botox, there is no such thing as ‘one size fits all’. 

When too much Botox is injected into the orbicularis muscles, it can swell up the fat pads below your eyes. Also , this effect cannot be undone immediately, although it does ultimately wear off in a few months. 

Hence, a crows feet Botox done right means reduced eye wrinkles, lifted eyes, and a rested, youthful face.

Baby Botox — Keeping It Real & Natural

No need to worry here! Baby Botox does not involve babies. Instead, it means ‘small’ or ‘micro’ doses of Botulinum Toxin to be injected into the wrinkled skin. The final result? Your look but better! 

Baby Botox London is in fact more popular among many people because they can avoid the ‘frozen look’. With Baby Botox injections patients enjoy a refreshed look yet naturally expressive face.

‘The best wrinkle is the one you never get!’

That is indeed very true! But then what is the right time to get treatment for crows feet wrinkles? It is usually seen that wrinkles around the eyes tend to appear somewhere in the mid to the late 30s. However, Cosmexperts suggest, ‘the earlier, the better!’

Therefore, you can get Botox for eye wrinkles when smiling, squinting, frowning or laughing. It is best to avoid smile lines around your eyes before they become a permanent feature of your skin! 

Is Botox For Eye Wrinkles An Effective Eye Wrinkle Treatment?

A qualified and an experienced practitioner can effectively use Botox to treat your crows feet eyes. The aim is to diminish the look of these creases without making you look frozen! 

Look at the picture of our client with a crow’s feet face below. The Botox injections for crow’s feet have refreshed her look and reduced unwanted ageing eye wrinkles, too.

Crying a river over your crow’s feet? Do you see them every time you smile? Or do they refuse to go away even on your poker face? Crow’s feet are one of the major signs of ageing & can be easily corrected with early prevention, clinical intervention & a powerful skincare routine! Read on in this complete crow’s feet guide for men & women!

What Is Crow’s Feet?

Lateral canthal rhytides (LCRs), also known as crow’s feet or eye wrinkles, are lines that appear around the outer corner of your eyes, especially when you smile, squint or laugh.

These lines start from the corner of your eyes and radiate to your temples and upper cheeks, looking like bird claws.

“Wrinkles merely indicate where smiles have been” — Mark Twain

Mark Twain was right! Crow’s feet and eyes are usually signs of frequent facial expressions and skin ageing. While smiling is fine, the presence of eye wrinkles can make you look aged and tired, and nobody wants that.

Why Do Crow’s Feet Form?

The skin around your eyes is 40% thinner than your body’s skin. Hence, it is very delicate and susceptible to the effects of ageing. This is why your eyes are usually the first to show fine lines, creases and wrinkles.

Orbiscularis oculi, or Crow’s feet muscles, are responsible for giving rise to your eye wrinkles around the eyes. It is a ring-shaped muscle running around the eye. So when you move them, you can notice creases similar to ‘spokes of a wheel’.

Know Your Eye Wrinkles

Crow’s feet go from dynamic to static, thanks to frequent muscle movement and collagen loss due to ageing. This is why Cosmexperts advises patients to take early preventive actions when they see wrinkles around their eyes in their 20s.

9️⃣Most Common Reasons Behind Crows Feet Wrinkles

There is more than one reason behind your crow’s feet wrinkles and not just ageing and smiling or laughing. Many patients at CosmeDocs are also guilty of:

① Squinting & Scrunching

Any facial expression you make needs you to move your facial muscles. Of course, this leads your skin to move and wrinkle.

Whether squinting or scrunching under the sun while reading without your power glasses or due to glare from digital devices, you are inching closer to forming eye wrinkles.

The American Academy of Dermatology states that squinting and scrunching cause a crease in the skin. Over time, this groove creates a wrinkle, which becomes more profound as one ages.

② Thinning Skin With Ageing

You will be surprised to know that the skin around your eyes is 10 times thinner than the skin on your face! As if that were not enough, your skin becomes more delicate and fragile with time due to collagen breakdown.

Moreover, your eye muscles are constantly at work, blinking and producing 10,000 movements daily! This stress and strain can eventually lead to visible wrinkles around the eyes.

③ Skipping Sunscreen Shield

The sun’s UV rays are not your skin’s friend, period. Photodamage is a more serious concern than you think because sun exposure without sun protection can break down your skin’s most important proteins, collagen and elastin. 

Hence, if you love sunshine and not sunscreen, do not be surprised if you wake up with a crow’s feet face one morning.

④ Sleeping On Their Face

So you are getting the 7-8 hours of recommended beauty sleep, yet you notice a crow’s feet face. What gives? Chances are, you are not sleeping the right way. Whether sleeping on your side or your stomach, you may develop wrinkles.

Such creases appear not just around your eyes like crow’s feet, but also cause nasolabial folds and wrinkles in your décolletage.

⑤ Rubbing & Tugging

How often do you rub your peepers when you are tired or sleepy? Do you have to tug at your eyes while putting on your lenses or eyeliner? The topmost layer of your skin, the epidermis, is much thinner around the eyes. Hence, all this physical strain can damage the skin’s protein fibres, causing wrinkles around the eyes.

⑥ Low Levels Of Youth Hormone — The Estrogen

Hormones are responsible for running your body’s functions smoothly. From Melatonin, which makes you sleepy, to Insulin, or fat-storage hormone, to male testosterone and female sex hormone estrogen, you cannot do without them!

Estrogen is a hormone that ensures a lady’s skin is elastic. The hormone also maintains collagen levels, thus keeping major ageing signs at bay. When menopause occurs, estrogen levels dip, which ultimately causes eye wrinkles and crow’s feet.

⑦ Consuming Too Much Sugar

I didn’t see this one coming. We have a good reason to blame your ‘sweet tooth’ for those pesky wrinkles. Even modest amounts of processed sugar in your diet can create dark circles, eye creases, skin dehydration, and speed up overall ageing.

⑧ Your Water Levels Are Low

Are you not drinking enough water every day? Are you consuming too much alcohol or caffeine? Dehydrated skin has ways of telling you to increase your water intake; one is a crow’s feet face.

⑨ Not Wearing Sunglasses Under The Sun

As mentioned earlier, squinting or scrunching your face when sunny and bright outside eventually leads to wrinkles around the eyes. A pair of sunglasses is not merely a fashion accessory; they also prevent damage to your eyes and the skin around them. Time to add them to your must-haves!

How To Get Rid Of Crow’s Feet?

It may be quite challenging to combat crows feet and eye wrinkles successfully. There seems to be many ways to eliminate crows feet, however, only a few treatments have proven to be helpful such as Botox for eye wrinkles, filler for crows feet, retinol products, Vitamin C serum, Microneedling.

What Is Crow’s Feet Botox?

Better than any eye wrinkle cream in the market is Botox for your stubborn crow’s feet.

Botox injections for crows feet targets the root cause of the issue by relaxing small muscles around your eyes called orbicularis oculi muscle.

Your doctor injects a small amount of Botulinum Toxin into these muscles, which momentarily blocks certain nerve signals to the target muscles. This in turn, relaxes the skin on top of these muscles and smoothing out smile lines around your eyes.

Filler For Crows Feet

Dermal fillers are considered the best treatment for crow’s feet, which have become engraved and deeper due to age and collagen loss. Taking years off of an ageing face is a known forte of hyaluronic acid fillers, and they can do the same for your dreaded eye wrinkles.

How Does Eye Wrinkle Filler Work?

The doctor injects hyaluronic acid filler under the skin of the eyes, which adds volume and smoothens deep crow’s feet. Men with deep creases around their eyes can greatly benefit from dermal fillers. Similarly, women in their 40s and above can enjoy visible results.

At CosmeDocs, the experts use Juvederm in combination with anti-wrinkle injections or Botox. The goal is to minimize the frequent muscle movement of your eyes and restore volume loss in the skin.

Filler-Tox Treatment For Smile Lines

It is important to note that dermal filler results are not permanent and may only last up to 18 months, depending on the amount of product injected. At CosmeDocs, experts treat dynamic eye wrinkles with Botox. The deep static crow’s feet are corrected using a filler-tox approach. 

Hence, relaxing the target muscles underneath the skin causes wrinkles while reducing the grooves etched deep into the skin for a smoother eye area.

How To Get Rid Of Crow’s Feet Without Botox?

Retinol For Crows Feet & Eye Wrinkles

Your skin has a life, and in your youth, your skin’s elasticity keeps it ‘bouncy’ and ‘plump’. However, as soon as your biological clock starts to tick towards ageing, not only do collagen and elastin levels start to go down, but they also take longer to produce. 

What happens next? Thinning skin with crepey skin texture, especially around the eyes.

Cosmexperts at CosmeDocs do not hail Retinol for no reason! This ‘skin superhero’ has been around for a long time, and we do not see it going away anytime soon. 

How Does Retinol Work For Crows Feet?

Skin care companies cannot have enough Retinoids, known as topical Vitamin A. 

According to Harvard Health Publishing by Harvard Medical School, retinoids reduce the look of ageing signs by promoting natural collagen production.

Moreover, patients with fine lines and wrinkles need to use topical Vitamin A regularly for 3 to 6 months to see improvements.

Retinoids Thicken The Skin

Topical Vitamin A stimulates collagen production in your skin, indirectly thickening it. Using retinoids for eye wrinkles can be very effective and can also rejuvenate the entire eye area.

Moreover, if you have sensitivity around the eyes, you can always apply an eye cream before layering your retinoid. Therefore, using the retinoids correctly and regularly can help you reap the benefits!

Microneedling Crows Feet

Known to induce natural collagen production in the body, the microneedling treatment is an ideal crow’s feet cure! The star element of this tried-and-tested procedure is our favourite protein, Collagen. 

The protein in your skin is 70% collagen!

Collagen keeps skin firm, taut, and wrinkle-free. It is a major element in all anti-ageing products and treatments.

The production of this essential skin protein declines by 1% every year as soon as you hit your 20s. Moreover, by your 40s, the collagen in your skin declines even more, causing thinner skin and deeper wrinkles.

How Does Microneedling Work On Crows Feet?

Also known as ‘Collagen Induction Therapy’, it helps to boost your skin’s collagen and elastin production. This simple non-surgical treatment involves making tiny tears in the skin surrounding your eyes, thus signalling your body to make more collagen. 

The results? Your eye area looks much smoother and firmer, and you feel refreshed, rested, and rejuvenated.

Take a look at how Cosmexperts at CosmeDocs handcraft your skincare routine using CRES principles for your specific skin type and unique skin concerns.

• Sleep More, Sleep Well, & Sleep Right

A good night’s sleep is not enough; you also need a proper sleeping position and a pillow! Cosmexperts suggests investing in a satin or silk pillowcase for yourself. The benefits are many, such as:

• Keeps acne at bay
• There is less friction on the skin, hence no crows feet
• Skin’s moisture remains intact
• Regulate your body temperature
• Better hair health and less frizz and breakage

• Don Your Sunglasses Outdoors

Your peepers must always be protected, especially under the sun. The obvious reason behind your squinting or scrunching face is the bright sunlight. It is best to wear polarized sunglasses in your bag or car whenever it is sunny outside.

• Give Your Eyes A Break — Literally!

We advise going easy on your peepers. Avoid rubbing, tugging, and squinting your eyes as much as possible. Staring at digital screens for too long can also be physically taxing. Wear glasses if you need them while reading, and use anti-glare shields for your laptops and smartphone screens.

• Make Sun Protection Your Second Nature

This advice just cannot be stressed enough! The sun’s UVA rays cause premature wrinkling, and the delicate skin around your eyes cannot withstand the toll. Wearing sunscreen is a crucial part of anti-wrinkle protection, and Cosmexperts suggest using it every day, come rain or shine!

• Keep The Eye Area Hydrated

You do not need ordinary skincare for your under-eye wrinkles and crow’s feet. Cosmexperts suggests using products of clinical strength! A juicy Vitamin C serum can help you during the day, while retinoids can thicken your skin at night. It’s time to up your skincare game a bit.
