How to Reverse Your Crow’s Feet

Obagi® Skin Care in Philadelphia, PACrow’s Feet is a common problem that develops in both men and women starting around the age of 30. It is recognized as wrinkles around the eyes that could also be called laugh or smile lines. While they are typically a sign of happiness, some people may not be quite so happy with this sign of aging.

There are a few different ways to reverse Crow’s Feet, and we are going to outline them to help you determine which may be best for you.

Obagi® Skin Care

This line of skin care products is offered by our Philadelphia office and can be prescribed to you by Dr. Ginsburg once you’ve scheduled an appointment. There are multiple products in the line that are each good for different things, but the particular product we would like to highlight for Crow’s Feet is the ELASTIderm® eye cream.

Created with a mix of bi-mineral complex and malonic acid, this product was developed to tighten and smooth the skin around the eyes. Skin, particularly on your face, has a harder time renewing itself as it ages. The ELASTIderm® eye cream not only helps shed those dead layers, but it also prevents fatty acid breakdown to allow your new skin to stay smooth and fresh for longer than it would on its own.

Botox®

If you would prefer something with more immediate results and less chemicals, Botox® is a great option. This injectable was designed with a protein that occurs naturally and is capable of paralyzing the muscles around the eyes. All wrinkles are caused by muscular contractions, including Crow’s Feet. Allowing the muscles in the face to relax not only helps to smooth out the already existing Crow’s Feet, but prevents them from becoming deeper.

The procedure itself is incredibly easy. It only takes a matter of minutes and is so pain free that it doesn’t require any anesthetic at all. No downtime is needed afterwards and patients who choose this procedure can return to their normal routine immediately after leaving the office.

Facial Peel

Crow’s Feet may not be the only wrinkles you have though, and if you’re interested in having a full facial, then this may be the option for you. Chemical peel treatments include the extra benefits of smoothing out the skin of the whole face as well as removing pre-cancerous skin growths.

It was developed as a fast acting solution to the wear and tear aging can do to your skin and will immediately help you shed layers of dead skin to reveal smoother, newer layers beneath without the risks of infection or scarring.
