Bunny lines are the wrinkles that appear on either side of the nose when smiling or making facial expressions. Botox treatment for bunny lines involves injecting botulinum toxin into the muscles around the nose to relax them, which reduces the appearance of these lines. Results typically start to show within 3 to 7 days, with full effects visible after about two weeks. The treatment smooths the skin beside the nose, diminishes wrinkles, and can last about 3 to 6 months, requiring repeat sessions for maintenance. Before and after photos show a visible softening or disappearance of bunny lines, leading to a fresher and younger-looking appearance. The procedure is quick, generally takes 10-15 minutes, and has minimal downtime with some temporary tenderness or numbness in the treated area.
What are Bunny Lines?
Bunny lines are horizontal wrinkles on the sides of the nose caused by muscle contractions during expressions like smiling or scrunching the nose. Over time, these lines can become permanent if untreated.
Botox Treatment Process
- Botox is injected in small amounts into muscles around the nose.
- The injections relax muscles to smooth out the wrinkles.
- Treatment takes about 10 to 15 minutes, often with a consultation beforehand.
- Some practitioners may apply a topical anesthetic for comfort.
- Patients may feel slight stinging or numbness initially, which fades quickly.
Before and After Results
- Wrinkles beside the nose are visibly reduced or disappear.
- Skin appears smoother with a refreshed, youthful look.
- Results become noticeable within a few days and peak at two weeks.
- Effects last 3 to 6 months, and repeated sessions improve outcomes over time.
Aftercare and Maintenance
- Avoid vigorous exercise, direct sunlight, and heat for 24 hours post-treatment.
- Do not lie down for a few hours after injections to prevent spread of Botox.
- Makeup can be applied once puncture wounds close.
- Repeat treatments recommended about three times a year for lasting effect.
This treatment provides a subtle, natural look without restricting facial expressions and is a popular choice for those wanting to soften bunny lines effectively.
