`There is no reversing the actions that aging causes, from loss of energy to wrinkling and other drops in bodily functions. However, there are numerous to contain and ‘hide’ the effects of aging on humans.
When men begin to age, the skin begins to undergo little consistent changes, with some more pronounced than the others. One of such is the Crow’s feet; these are those little lines spreading out from the sides of the eyes.
What are Crow’s feet? And why they are common in men
Crow’s feet are the continuous results of the little but progressive muscle contractions that plague the skin (especially the face} as we grow older. While for many, the Crow’s feet are more visible when they smile, laugh, frown or make other facial expressions (Dynamic), for others, it is permanent on the face (Static).
Crow’s feet are common or seem more significant in men due to their stronger facial muscles. When a man has even the earliest signs of crow’s feet when they make an expression, it is difficult not to notice.
However, no matter the Crow’s feet, there is numerous treatment available to correct the effects of these slacking muscles. And one great example is the Neurotoxins.
Neurotoxins as a treatment for Crow’s feet, what are they?
Neurotoxins are injectable substances, which slow and eventually pauses muscle stiffening, by blocking nerve receptors. When these receptors are put on hold, it becomes impossible for lines and wrinkles from forming.
Neurotoxins are also known as Borox, Dysport or Xemomin, and can be used to treat muscle stiffness, muscle spasms, excessive sweating, or an overactive bladder system. It became a popular and top neurosurgical treatment procedure since 2000.
Are there differences in the various Neurotoxins?
Whether it is called Botox, Dysport, or Xemonin, they all represent the same method of neurotoxin treatments. However, the bacterium “Clostridium Botulinum or Botulinum Toxin A may slightly vary within them. They all just do one thing; block the nerve impulses of the injected muscles to temporarily paralyze the movements.

Therefore, the age range of patients is usually within 30 – 65 years. However, you must still consult with your skincare specialist to know which treatment is most appropriate for your skin.
Who should not partake in a Neurotoxin treatment?

Is a Neurotoxin treatment painful?
While some skin treatments may cause a throbbing or stinging sensation, the Neurotoxin injection is a noninvasive treatment process. Since these toxins are injected into the targeted muscles using a fine-gauge needle, the patient may experience mild piercing pain.
Asides from this pain – which many compare to focal waxing, small dots of blood may be visible at the entry sites that later disappear within a few hours. However, it is very uncommon to experience bruising, redness, or swelling of injection sites.
On completing a Neurotoxin injection…
After the injection, ensure that the area injected remains unchanged for at least four hours. Any further procedure or “adjustments” may move the solutions to areas on the face where they are not wanted.
Now, the periods for actions of the neurotoxins on the part of the skin (freezing) may vary depending on compositions, formulations and amount injected, and the rate of spread in different patients. However, it is mostly about 7 days when results begin to be visible.
