Development of crow’s feet
Crow’s feet are wrinkles that form between the temple and the lateral edge of the eyelid. They are the result of the contraction of the eye ring muscle (a facial muscle) and occur when laughing (hence also known as laugh lines ).
Squinting the eyes when looking at the sun also encourages the formation of these wrinkles at the corner of the eye. Smile lines may appear sympathetic in facial expressions, but they are an inexorable sign of ageing.
Many people therefore wish to at least minimize their training.
Prevention of crow’s feet
Even without medical measures, the formation of crow’s feet can be reduced within certain limits. Here are the most important factors:
- Daily use of creams
- Avoiding strong sunlight: a, The sun damages the skin and leads to premature skin ageing and thus the formation of crow’s feet. b, In the sun, you reflexively squint your eyes to avoid being dazzled and thus promote the formation of wrinkles.
Conclusion: Apply sunscreen, seek shade and wear sunglasses.
Options for treating or correcting these laugh lines with Btx
The most popular option for treating crow’s feet is Btx treatment with Bttx. Here, the lateral part of the eye ring muscle is paralyzed at 3 or more points on each side so that it can only form wrinkles in a reduced form or not at all. The effect lasts for approx. 3 to 5 months.
