Noticed Bunny Lines? Here’s How We Treat Them

You might have spotted them in the mirror and wondered when they showed up. Those tiny crinkles that appear on the sides of your nose when you smile or scrunch your face. They’re called bunny lines, and while the name sounds cute, they can be one of those cosmetic concerns that start to bother you once you’ve noticed them.

 

The good news? You don’t have to stop smiling. 

 

At Oracle Clinics, there are gentle, effective treatment options like Botox to soften bunny lines without losing the expressions that make you, you.

What Exactly Are Bunny Lines?

Bunny lines are the fine wrinkles that appear diagonally across the upper nose, usually when you laugh, grin, or squint. They’re caused by repetitive facial expressions and the muscle contractions of the nasalis, a small facial muscle that contracts when you scrunch your nose.

 

Over time, just like crow’s feet or frown lines, these repetitive muscle movements leave more permanent creases in the skin. This process is linked to skin ageing, reduced collagen production, and changes in skin elasticity.

Why Do Bunny Lines Appear?

 

A mix of factors contribute:

 

  • Natural facial expressions and repetitive muscle movements that crease the same spot repeatedly
  • Ageing and reduced collagen, which weakens skin texture and elasticity
  • Previous Botox injections in the forehead or crow’s feet area, which can sometimes make the nasalis muscle more active as it compensates

 

It’s completely normal, but if static wrinkles are becoming deeper or more noticeable, non-surgical treatments can help.

 

How We Treat Bunny Lines at Oracle Clinics

 

The most effective treatment for bunny lines is Botox injections. Tiny amounts of botulinum toxin type A are injected directly into the nasalis muscle to relax it, softening the wrinkles that appear when you smile or scrunch your face.

 

Here’s why patients choose it:

 

  • Quick treatment, taking just a few minutes
  • Minimal discomfort, often described as a small scratch
  • No downtime, so you can get straight back to your day
  • Natural results that don’t stop you from expressing yourself

 

The goal isn’t to erase your smile. It’s to smooth your face wrinkles so your expressions look fresher, your skin texture more even, and your skin care results more balanced.

 

We may also discuss complementary treatments such as dermal fillers, injectable fillers with hyaluronic acid, skin boosters, or laser treatments like laser resurfacing, depending on your overall skin ageing concerns.

 

Is It Safe?

 

Yes. When carried out by trained medical professionals, Botox for bunny lines is considered very safe. At Oracle Clinics, your treatment will always be performed by an experienced practitioner like Nurse Ness Griffiths who understands facial anatomy, injection sites, and how facial muscles respond to botulinum toxin.

 

The amounts used are very small, targeted, and designed to look natural. Side effects are minimal and some people notice mild redness or a small bruise at the injection site, but this usually fades quickly with basic post-treatment skin care.

 

How Long Do Results Last?

 

Most patients see results starting within a few days, with the full effect visible at two weeks. Results typically last three to four months, after which you can choose whether to maintain them with top-up anti-wrinkle injections.

 

Over time, as the muscle movement relaxes, lines appear less deeply even without treatment. For longer-term facial rejuvenation, non-surgical treatments such as skin boosters can also support collagen production and overall skin health.

 

Who Is Bunny Line Treatment For?

 

This treatment may be right for you if you’ve noticed:

 

  • Fine wrinkles across the bridge of your nose when you smile
  • Creases that linger even when your face is at rest (static wrinkles)
  • Lines that seem more noticeable after other cosmetic treatments
  • A desire for fresher, more balanced expressions

 

It’s suitable for both women and men and works well as part of a broader skin care and skincare routine. Combining Botox injections with facial exercises, dermal fillers, or non-surgical treatments can provide a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation.
