You’ve probably heard of how Botox can smooth out wrinkles, lift your brows, and improve a gummy smile, among many other uses. But did you know that Botox can also be used for bunny lines? Bunny lines are the scrunch lines that appear on the sides of your nose, and just like other facial dynamic wrinkles, they’re caused by repetitive facial movements. If you’re self-conscious about your bunny lines, keep reading to learn about how Botox can be used to smooth out these nasal wrinkles.
Causes of Bunny Lines
Aging causes our skin to slowly lose collagen and elasticity, which, in turn, causes our skin to become thinner. This means that our facial skin becomes less able to bounce back from repetitive moments, forming fine lines or wrinkles. Additionally, bunny lines may also be caused by genetics, sun damage, or other factors like smoking.
Using Botox to Treat Bunny Lines
During a Botox treatment, the botulinum toxin is used to block the nerve signals in the facial muscles around your nose. By blocking out these signals, your muscles will be unable to contract. In this way, Botox helps to smooth out bunny lines, making them less visible.
What To Expect
The procedure itself is fairly quick and simple. Our injectors will inject the Botox into the targeted muscles around your nose using a fine needle. You may experience some temporary slight discomfort but nothing that’s too painful.
Your Botox treatment will only take between 30 to 60 minutes. After your treatment, you can simply return to your normal activities, thanks to its non-invasive nature and the fact that side effects are minor and minimal. Besides some possible redness and tenderness at the injection site that will resolve in just hours or a few days, there are no major side effects to worry about.
Durability of Results
Keep in mind that Botox is not a permanent treatment, and you’ll need to come back for follow-up treatments to maintain the results. Generally, you can expect the results to last for around three to six months. After this, the muscles around your nose may start to regain their movement again, causing the bunny lines to reappear.
