Bunny Lines (Nose Botox)

What Are Bunny Lines?

Bunny lines - isn’t that cute? These tiny, crinkly lines pop up on either side of our nose when we laugh, squint or scrunch up our face, just like a bunny’s nose.

Caused by the repeated movement of the nasalis muscle, bunny lines are totally natural and add character. Sometimes these lines can get a bit too prominent over time. Targeted nose Botox can help.

How Do Bunny Lines Form?

Bunny lines form for two main reasons:

Natural Ageing and Expressions

Over time the repeated movement of the nasalis muscle creates visible lines on the nose. These lines get deeper as the skin loses elasticity with age.

Botox Side Effect

Interestingly bunny lines can also become more prominent after Botox in other areas of the face. When Botox is done on the forehead or frown lines for instance, other muscles like the nasalis will compensate and bunny lines will become more prominent. This is a natural response and can be managed with small, precise doses of Botox along the nose.

What Is the Difference Between Smile Lines and Bunny Lines?

Smile lines and bunny lines have distinct personalities! Smile lines, also called nasolabial folds, run from the sides of the nose to the mouth corners, usually deeper and more pronounced. Bunny lines, in contrast, appear on each side of the nose close to the eyes due to the scrunching of the nasalis muscle. So, while both add to our expressions, they show up differently – and benefit from specific treatment approaches.

Why Botox for Bunny Lines?

Bunny lines, though subtle, can become more noticeable over time and add to an aged look. Botox is a targeted solution by relaxing the nasalis muscle, softening the lines without affecting the rest of your facial expressions. Botox is popular because:

• Quick and Effective: The treatment is fast, with results appearing within a few days.
• Minimally Invasive: Botox for bunny lines requires only a few small injections.
• Natural Results: When performed by an experienced practitioner, Botox smooths bunny lines without freezing facial expressions.

The Botox Treatment Process

Botox for bunny lines is a straightforward, minimally invasive process.

Step 1: Consultation

Your journey starts with a consultation to assess your facial anatomy and discuss your treatment goals. A qualified practitioner will determine the amount of Botox needed to smooth bunny lines without affecting the surrounding muscles.

Step 2: Injection

During the treatment small doses of Botox are injected into each side of the nose, directly into the nasalis muscle. The injection process is quick, only takes a few minutes and most patients describe it as a tiny pinch.

Step 3: Post-Treatment Care

Minimal downtime and you can go back to normal activities straight away. Avoid rubbing the treated area and keep facial expressions natural for the first few hours after the injections to allow the Botox to settle. Results usually appear in 3 to 7 days and the smoothing effect lasts around 3 to 4 months.

How Much Botox Is Needed for Bunny Lines?

When it comes to treating bunny lines, just a few small units are often enough to soften these lines effectively. An experienced practitioner will assess your unique needs, using the right dosage to relax the nasalis muscle without affecting surrounding areas.

Why Choose Nose Botox for Bunny Lines?

Avoiding Compensatory Bunny Lines After Other Botox Treatments

Botox in other areas like the forehead can sometimes make bunny lines more prominent as the nasalis muscle compensates for the surrounding muscles. An experienced practitioner will:

• Use the right dosage in each area to maintain balance
• Place the Botox carefully to avoid over compensatory muscle movements
• Suggest combined treatments if needed to manage expression lines holistically

Personalised Treatment Plans:
