What are crow’s feet?
We’ve all heard the term, but what exactly are crow’s feet and where do they come from?
Crow’s feet refer to the perpendicular lines that develop on the outside areas of the eyes. They develop specifically where the muscles insert into the skin.
They are caused by, well, living life! On average, we blink 15–20 times a minute which causes our facial muscles to repeatedly crinkle and move. The skin surrounding our eyes is especially more delicate and thin than the other parts of the face, so crow’s feet are often some of the first wrinkles to appear.
The average person will begin to notice crow’s feet in their mid-30’s, but they can easily develop before that if the person spends a lot of time outdoors in the sun (or laughs a lot!).
Prevention is key, but if it’s too late for that, here are 3 injectables that help get rid of crow’s feet.
3 neurotoxins that fix crow’s feet
If you’re experiencing fine lines or deep wrinkles around your eyes, then neurotoxins may be right for you. Injectable neurotoxins work to relax the muscles, minimizing the severity of crow’s feet and providing a more youthful appearance for men and women alike.
Let’s breakdown 3 different injectables that are great for crow’s feet.
Botox®
Ever since the FDA certified Botox in 2002, crow’s feet have been disappearing rapidly. With an 80% market share of the injectable industry, Botox is a household name and a great solution to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
Dysport®
Dysport earned its FDA certification in 2009 and has since proven to be a popular and effective injectable for aging skin. It’s lighter than Botox (on a molecular level) and is ideal for treating larger areas because it diffuses (spreads) easier.
XEOMIN®
The newest neurotoxin to fight crow’s feet is XEOMIN which was FDA-approved in 2011. It’s called the “naked” neurotoxin because it only has one ingredient, botulinum toxin type A, while Botox and Dysport may contain other additives.
Deciding which neurotoxin is best isn’t easy - that’s why our team of professionals and The Blonde Injector will help you choose during a consultation.
Other ways to prevent crow’s feet and fine lines
Developing crow’s feet is a fact of life, but with proper prevention you can push off their development. Here are some ways, other than neurotoxins, that you can try to prevent crow’s feet.
✨ Avoid using heavy foundation or concealers around the eyes as it will only pronounce the appearance of crow’s feet
✨ In addition, wear sunglasses or a hat whenever possible to minimize squinting
✨ Aim to prevent unnecessary stress and avoid frowning
✨ Invest in a silk pillowcase as it may help to prevent pulling at the skin when sleeping
✨ Take care of your skin with other aesthetic services like laser treatments, facials, and microneedling
