INJECTABLES/BUNNY LINES


image of bunny-lines on a modelBunny lines are the fine lines that appear on either side of the nose, often when you smile or scrunch your nose. They form as a result of repetitive movement of the nasalis muscle, which is responsible for wrinkling the nose during facial expressions.

The development of bunny lines is more common with aging, as the skin loses elasticity and collagen. However, they can also form at a younger age, especially if you frequently make expressions that involve scrunching your nose, such as laughing or frowning.

How BOTOX® Works for Bunny Lines

Targeting the Nasalis Muscles: BOTOX® works by temporarily blocking the signals from the nerves that tell the muscles to contract. For bunny lines, BOTOX® is injected into the nasalis muscle, which is responsible for wrinkling the nose. By relaxing this muscle, BOTOX® prevents it from contracting as strongly, reducing the appearance of wrinkles around the nose.

Injection Technique: BOTOX® is injected into the areas where the bunny lines form, typically on the sides of the nose. The injections are placed into the small muscles responsible for creating the lines. The procedure is relatively quick, usually taking only 10-15 minutes. The injections are performed with a very fine needle, making the treatment minimally uncomfortable for most patients.

Results: Immediate Improvement: After BOTOX® is injected, you may notice a softening of the bunny lines within 2-3 days, with the full results visible in about 7-10 days.

Subtle Effect: The BOTOX® works to relax the muscles around the nose, leading to a smoother appearance without completely freezing facial expressions. You’ll still be able to smile and move your face normally, but without the prominent wrinkles around your nose.

Duration of Results: The effects of BOTOX® for bunny lines typically last around 3-4 months, after which the muscle activity will gradually return, and the lines may begin to reappear. Repeat treatments are required to maintain the results.
