The Art of Losing your Crows Feet
By Kira Zwolinski
One day you looked in the mirror and studied those lines that furrowed your brow, and you wondered: Where did they come from?
Signs of skin aging are the result of two different aging processes; internal and external. Internal aging is inevitable and normal. The skin loses its natural collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. The loss of moisture and natural oils contribute to fine lines in the skin as we age. This results in the thinning of your skin to the point that it will sag and form wrinkles and folds. The lines that appear between your brows (glabellar lines) actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time. Underneath your skin, your facial muscles contract, causing a pleating of the overlying skin, and then, as anyone can see, you’re frowning. After years of crinkling and wrinkling, those glabellar lines have thinned out and they start to linger longer making them more pronounced. For women, whose faces tend to be more animated than men’s, and whose skin is typically more delicate, these lines may appear exaggerated and more permanent. These factors, combined with the marks of normal facial expressions, such as smiling and laughing, can leave everyone with a few more lines, creases and folds with each passing year.
Unlike internal aging, that is inevitable, external aging is due to factors that can be controlled. The environment and other bad habits are such examples. Smoking cigarettes and exposing your skin to the sun without proper sunscreen protection are two of the biggest contributors to premature aging. Other external factors include the amount of alcohol you intake as well as having a poor diet.
So now that you’re looking in the mirror and you’ve already asked yourself, “Where did these wrinkles come from?” –you can move on to a more important question: “What can I do about it?”
There is no stopping it; your skin is going to age, but you can reduce the appearance of it. You can influence the signs of aging by using dermal fillers to smooth out the lines that are your wrinkles. Fillers mask the wrinkle by adding volume around the muscle with intradermal injections. Two such options to reduce the appearance of glabellar lines or thinning lips are Botox® and Restylane®.
Botox® is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth frown lines between the brows and around the eyes. Botox reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines to form over time. This type of injection is intramuscular, blocking the chemicals that cause facial muscles to contract, thereby relaxing them. Botox will not radically change your facial appearance; you will still be able to frown or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases between your brows. The treatment is quick and minimally invasive; your doctor makes a few tiny injections into the muscles that cause those frown lines. Your doctor will determine exactly where to administer the injections to achieve the best results. No anesthesia is required, although the area is usually numbed using a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to injecting. Discomfort is minimal and brief- most patients compare the sensation to a bug bite. You may resume normal activity immediately. Results can be expected within days after your treatment.
Restylane is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and folds. This type of dermal filler is made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body. Restylane maintains its shape by using the body’s own natural moisture. Restylane can be used to correct a variety of wrinkles around the eyes and also to enhance the appearance of the lip border. Restylane is injected directly into the skin in tiny amounts by an untrafine needle, resulting in minimal discomfort. The procedure is simple, convenient, and the results are practically instantaneous. Because Restylane is made from a substance natural to the body and not from animals, an allergy test is not necessary.
