Understanding bunny lines
Bunny lines are fine wrinkles that appear on the upper sides of the nose, typically becoming visible when you smile, scrunch, or scrunch your nose. These lines are among the earliest signs of facial ageing, forming as the skin gradually loses collagen, elastin, and volume. Over time, repeated facial expressions deepen these creases, which can become noticeable even when your face is at rest.
These wrinkles are natural and develop as part of the skin’s ageing process. Genetics, lifestyle factors, and environmental influences such as sun exposure or repeated muscle movement around the nose can all contribute to their formation. While subtle in younger individuals, bunny lines can become more pronounced over time, affecting overall facial harmony and the smoothness of the mid-face region.
How bunny lines develop
Bunny lines are dynamic wrinkles, meaning they appear primarily due to the movement of underlying nasalis muscles. Each time you scrunch or wrinkle your nose, the skin creases. With repeated use over the years, these fine lines gradually deepen.
As we age, the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production declines. This reduces its elasticity, causing wrinkles to form more easily. Volume loss in surrounding tissues can also accentuate these lines, making them more prominent. Environmental factors such as sun damage, smoking, and lifestyle habits like frequent facial expressions may accelerate this process.
Understanding the formation of bunny lines is crucial to designing effective, natural-looking treatment plans. By targeting the underlying causes rather than simply masking the lines, treatments aim to smooth the skin and prevent further progression.
Treating bunny lines and nose wrinkles
Treatment objectives
The primary goal of treating bunny lines is to soften the fine wrinkles and optimise overall skin quality while maintaining natural expression. Treatments are tailored to each individual’s unique facial structure, addressing both dynamic lines caused by movement and static lines that are visible at rest.
Key objectives include:
- Smoothing existing wrinkles to reduce their visibility.
- Preventing new lines from forming or deepening.
- Optimising skin firmness, texture, and elasticity.
- Maintaining natural expressions so facial movement remains unrestricted.
By focusing on these objectives, treatments provide subtle, harmonious improvements that preserve a natural appearance.
Assessing suitability
Not everyone is an ideal candidate for bunny line treatment. The best candidates are typically adults with:
- Visible fine lines or moderate wrinkles on the sides of the nose.
- Concerns about their mid-face looking less smooth or aged.
- Realistic expectations and a desire for natural-looking results.
During a personalised consultation, our clinicians perform a thorough assessment of your facial anatomy, skin quality, and wrinkle severity. This evaluation ensures that the treatment plan is customised to your unique features, aiming for results that add to your overall facial harmony.
Preparing for treatment
Preparation plays an important role in achieving optimal outcomes. Before your treatment, it is recommended to:
- Ensure the skin in the treatment area is clean and free of heavy makeup or creams.
- Discuss any previous treatments, medical conditions, or allergies with your clinician.
By following these steps, you can reduce the risk of complications and help the clinician deliver precise and effective results.
The treatment experience
Bunny line treatments are minimally invasive and performed in a clinical setting. During the procedure, your clinician targets the small muscles around the nose that contribute to wrinkle formation. The approach is subtle, aiming to reduce creasing while preserving natural facial movement.
Some patients experience mild discomfort during treatment. To minimise this, topical numbing agents may be applied, and clinicians use precise techniques. Most individuals find the procedure well-tolerated, with only minor sensations of pressure or pinching.
The duration of treatment is typically short, often taking only 10–20 minutes, making it convenient to fit into a busy schedule.
Pain management
Managing discomfort is an important part of the treatment experience. Options may include:
- Topical numbing creams applied before treatment.
- Short breaks during the procedure if needed to reduce muscle tension.
- Gentle handling of sensitive areas to minimise pressure or pinching.
These measures ensure a comfortable experience while maintaining the precision required for natural-looking results.
Risks and safety considerations
Bunny line treatments are generally low-risk when performed by experienced clinicians. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks, including:
- Mild bruising or swelling at the treatment site.
- Temporary tenderness or redness.
- Rarely, asymmetry or uneven results
Our team mitigates these risks through detailed assessments, personalised treatment plans, and careful technique. Open communication and follow-up care further improve safety and satisfaction.
What to expect after treatment for bunny lines
Aftercare and recovery
Following treatment, mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur at the injection sites. These effects usually resolve within a few hours to a couple of days. To support recovery and prolong results:
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area.
- Refrain from vigorous exercise or heat exposure for 24 hours.
- Follow any personalised skincare guidance provided by your clinician.
Downtime is minimal, allowing most individuals to resume normal activities immediately. Proper aftercare also enhances the longevity and quality of your results.
Results
Results vary depending on your anatomy, skin quality, and the number of treatments performed. Typically, patients notice smoother skin and softened lines within days to a week following treatment.
Optimal outcomes may require multiple sessions, particularly for individuals with deeper or more pronounced wrinkles. During your personalised consultation, clinicians will outline a treatment plan that balances immediate outcomes with long-term maintenance.
Over time, ongoing treatments help prevent wrinkles from worsening, maintain smooth skin, and preserve natural facial expressions. A tailored approach ensures that results remain subtle, harmonious, and suited to your unique features.
Maintaining long-term results
Long-term improvements are best achieved through a combination of professional treatments and at-home care. Regular follow-up sessions, combined with skincare practices that support collagen production and skin hydration, help maintain smooth skin.
Our clinicians provide personalised guidance on the timing of repeat treatments, strategies to reduce wrinkle progression, and lifestyle tips that support overall skin health. By following these recommendations, patients enjoy natural-looking results.

Bunny lines are the skin wrinkles that occur across the top of the nose.
Bunny lines and nose wrinkles are caused by repetitive contraction of the nasalis muscle. The nasalis muscle is responsible for scrunching up the nose, an expression often seen when laughing, smiling, speaking, scowling and frowning.
Bunny lines and nose wrinkles are treated using various methods depending on the cause. Typically, treatments focus on the underlying nasalis muscle, as well as skin quality and volume.
Some people notice that their bunny lines look worse after having frown line treatment.
This is because the frown line muscles and the nasalis muscle that causes bunny lines work together to make facial expressions such as frowning.
By only treating the frown line, the nasalis muscle compensates, making your bunny lines deeper.
For this reason, we may recommend that you treat your bunny lines when having frown line treatments.
Treating bunny lines has minimal discomfort. Most people feel a slight pinching sensation, and we have a range of numbing options to assist with a comfortable procedure.
Results from treatments for bunny lines and nose wrinkles typically become noticeable within days to weeks, depending on the method used. The lines gradually soften, giving the nose and surrounding area a refreshed appearance while maintaining natural facial expressions.
Treatments for bunny lines and nose wrinkles usually last around three to four months, though this can vary depending on individual factors such as skin type, age, lifestyle, and treatment method. Over time, the lines may gradually return, and repeat treatments are required if you wish to maintain results.
After treatment for bunny lines and nose wrinkles, you can expect some mild redness or tenderness around the treated area, which usually settles within a few hours to a day. Your skin will gradually appear smoother, with fine lines softened and dynamic wrinkles reduced. Results typically develop over several days, and natural facial expressions are preserved.
Treatments for bunny lines and nose wrinkles are generally low-risk when performed by qualified clinicians. These procedures are minimally invasive and are designed to target fine lines without affecting overall facial movement.
During your consultation, we will assess your suitability and discuss any potential risks, helping ensure the treatment is appropriate for your skin type and goals. Following professional guidance and aftercare instructions further reduces the likelihood of complications.
Treatments for bunny lines and nose wrinkles are generally low-risk, but, like any cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects. These may include:
- Temporary redness, swelling, or mild bruising at the treatment site
- Minor tenderness or sensitivity around the nose and upper cheek area
- Very rarely, asymmetry or uneven results if the treatment settles unevenly
Most side effects are mild and resolve within a few days.
The following groups of people are not suitable for treating bunny lines and nose wrinkles:
- Aged under 18
- Those with unreasonable expectations about what can be achieved from treating the bunny lines with anti-wrinkle injections
