“Bunny lines” are the fine wrinkles that appear on the sides of the nose when you smile, laugh or scrunch your face. While completely natural and expressive, some patients feel these lines become more noticeable over time and wish to soften their appearance.
Bunny lines correction is a non-surgical treatment that uses Allergan Botox® to relax the small muscles responsible for these nasal wrinkles. This helps smooth the area while maintaining natural facial expression and movement.
At our clinic, treatment is always subtle and carefully balanced, ensuring the nose area remains natural and expressive while reducing unwanted lines during facial movement.
What Causes Bunny Lines?
Bunny lines are caused by repeated contraction of the nasalis muscle, which activates when you:
-
Smile
-
Laugh
-
Squint
-
Scrunch your nose
-
Make expressive facial movements
Over time, repeated muscle activity can lead to fine lines becoming more visible even when the face is at rest.
These lines are more common in patients who already have regular anti-wrinkle treatment elsewhere, as the surrounding muscles compensate during expression.
How Does Bunny Lines Treatment Work?
We use Allergan Botox® to temporarily relax the small nasal muscles responsible for bunny line formation.
By carefully placing tiny amounts of botulinum toxin into targeted points on the nasalis muscle, we reduce the intensity of muscle contraction. This softens the appearance of lines during facial movement while preserving natural expression.
Because this is a delicate area, precise dosing is essential to avoid over-relaxation and maintain natural nasal movement.
