Have little wrinkles around the corners of your eyes? You’ve got crow’s feet. But not to worry. There are many ways to get them treated. Choose the one that suits you as per your skin type and the extent of the damage.
Before we begin, know that it is natural to have crow’s feet. There are two reasons for these to get formed with time. First, the frequent tiny muscle contractions due to facial expressions, and second, the reduced collagen and elastin levels in the skin due to aging. To reduce the appearance of crow’s skin, you can use antioxidant serums. These revitalize the skin with vitamins & thus facilitate skin health. Also, make sure that you only use a high-quality moisturizer that repairs the brittle, loose & thin skin.
For those who don’t have crow’s feet, here are all the tips you must follow as part of your crow's feet prevention regime:
- Reduce excessive squinting
Maybe you have dry eyes or bad eyesight. Get it checked and do what’s prescribed by the doctor. The other reason could be that you live in a region where it is extremely sunny during the daytime.
In this case, wear sunglasses whenever you go out. If possible, avoid venturing out too often.
There’s plenty of it, and it's freely available. Our bodies comprise more than 60 percent water. So, keep yourself and your skin hydrated. Drink a minimum of six glasses of water daily. Also, coffee is a diuretic & reduces the body’s moisture content.
So, if you have coffee regularly, increase your water intake to eight glasses a day.
We can’t emphasize this enough. Have a good night’s sleep of six to eight hours every day. It helps increase the stimulation of the Human Growth Hormone, which repairs damaged skin & maintains skin elasticity.
That’s all the wisdom we have about crow's feet prevention. Now, to undo the skin damage due to crow’s feet, here are the kinds of crow's feet treatment you can get done:
These are also called soft-tissue fillers. Generally, these types of dermal fillers are used: Radiesse, Juvederm, Sculptra, Restylane, and Belotero. Each of these fillers has different properties, materials, and stay time. Visit the nearest dermatologist to know which one would suit you best.
Dermal fillers specifically reduce the visibility of static crow’s feet; these appear even when the individual’s facial muscles are relaxed. Their effects last for a duration of three to 12 months.
In this procedure, a chemical solution is applied to the face. As a result, the outer dead skin gets exfoliated, revealing healthy & smooth skin. These three kinds of chemical peels are medium-depth peels, superficial peels, & deep peels.
While any certified aesthetician can apply superficial peels, ensure that you get the deeper peels treatment done by an expert at your dermatologist's office. The duration of the results depends on the kind of peel used during the procedure.
This treatment is best suited for individuals aged between 30 to 50 years. Botox smooths out these wrinkles caused due to frequent facial expressions. This is how: when injected into the wrinkled area, Botox relaxes the muscles.
Thus, it prevents their contraction. Typically, the results last for around four months. Also, this procedure is not suitable for older adults as Botox does not show the desired results for deep wrinkles.
In this technique, multiple layers of skin are heated up as a laser beam is focused on the uneven areas. This facilitates collagen production. Thus, the crow’s feet near the eyes get evened out.
Total healing takes a couple of weeks but the results last for about a decade. Besides, it makes you look around twenty years younger. But note that to get the best results from laser resurfacing, doctors may also combine other treatments like Botox injections.
These also help reduce wrinkles & fine lines. Generally, Tretinoin is used for the purpose as it promotes the formation of new skin. Anti-aging moisturizers are also very effective.
But topical creams only work for faint fine lines or crow’s feet around the eyes. The best results from their application are seen within six months.
Besides, exfoliating products remove the topmost layer of dead skin, giving it a smooth, radiant glow. They thus make fine lines & crow’s feet less visible. But use only those exfoliating products that have minimal amounts of chemicals. Consult your dermatologist if you can get Microdermabrasion for crow's feet treatment. In this procedure, a unique applicator having an abrasive surface is used to scrape away the thick exterior layer of the skin delicately.
