Bunny lines are those small, diagonal wrinkles that appear on either side of the nose when you smile or scrunch up your face. These lines can become more prominent over time due to repeated facial expressions and natural ageing, but injectable treatment with neuromodulators can effectively soften their appearance. We have been treating bunny lines for years, achieving subtle, natural-looking results. By targeting specific muscles, this treatment smooths the skin without affecting the overall expressiveness of the face. With minimal downtime and a very low risk profile when performed by a skilled professional, Nurse Julie’s precision ensures the results are always beautifully balanced.
BUNNY LINES
What are bunny lines?
Bunny lines are the fine wrinkles that appear when you scrunch up your nose when you laugh or smile.
Why have I got bunny lines?
While bunny lines can simply be caused by ageing, they can also be a sign that you’ve had anti-wrinkle treatment. In either case, the underlying cause is the same: the overuse of certain facial muscles.
How are bunny lines treated?
Bunny lines can be treated with small amounts of muscle-relaxing injectables. The treatment works by temporarily relaxing the nasalis muscle, which smooths out the lines without altering your natural facial expressions.
Is the procedure safe?
Yes, when administered by an experienced medical professional, the treatment is safe and carries minimal risks. It’s a quick, non-invasive procedure with little to no downtime.
Does the treatment hurt?
The treatment is quick and involves no discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a slight pinch.
How long do the results last?
Results typically last around 3 to 4 months, after which you can have the treatment repeated to maintain the effects. Over time, with consistent treatment, you may find that the lines become less noticeable, and you might need the procedure less frequently.
Will it affect the movement of my face?
No, when performed correctly, the treatment targets only the small muscles responsible for the bunny lines, so it won’t affect your overall facial movements or expressions.
Is there any downtime?
No, this is a quick procedure with no downtime. You can return to your daily activities immediately after treatment.
When will I see results?
You’ll start to notice the effects within a few days, with full results visible after about 1-2 weeks.
Are bunny lines preventable?
While some lines naturally develop with age, you can help prevent bunny lines by avoiding exaggerated facial expressions that overly strain the nasalis muscle. Additionally, using excessive anti-wrinkle treatment on the forehead can sometimes lead to overactivity in other areas, like the nose, so maintaining a balanced approach to injectables is key.
