“Bunny Lines” – that sounds cute. But the horizontal lines next to the bridge of the nose, which appear when smiling or talking, often look anything but charming. They can make your face appear restless, aged, or even severe – even if you actually feel fresh and open.
With a targeted Botox® treatment at BONITAS, these nasal wrinkles can be gently smoothed without restricting your facial expressions. For a clear, calm complexion – and a face that is truly yours.
Main Causes:
Especially with repeated Botox treatment in the upper third of the face (e.g., forehead, frown lines), Bunny Lines can appear more prominently, as the muscles seek other ways to build tension.
Bunny Lines are caused by muscle contractions. Botulinum toxin (Botox®) specifically relaxes the muscle responsible for them:
Important: The treatment requires fine anatomical knowledge – therefore, it should only be performed by experienced specialists, as at BONITAS.
Duration: approx. 10 minutes
Pain: minimal to non-existent
Effect: visible after 3–5 days
Regular treatments lead to permanently less visible lines, as the muscle is less actively used.
At BONITAS, your natural look is the priority – not a trend.
Bunny Lines are fine mimic wrinkles that appear on the sides of the bridge of the nose when smiling or wrinkling the nose. They are caused by the repeated activity of the nasal muscle (Musculus nasalis) and become more pronounced with age. Especially with very expressive facial movements or after frequent botulinum toxin treatment of other facial areas, Bunny Lines can become more prominent.
A targeted botulinum toxin injection has proven effective for treating Bunny Lines. By temporarily immobilizing the responsible muscle, the wrinkles visibly smooth out. In some cases, an additional injection with hyaluronic acid may be useful, especially for very deep lines. A precise analysis of facial expressions is crucial for a natural result – we will advise you individually on this.
Botulinum toxin usually shows an initial effect for Bunny Lines within 3 to 5 days. The full muscle-relaxing effect occurs after about 10 to 14 days. The wrinkles gradually smooth out, and the overall complexion appears fresher. The effect generally lasts 3 to 5 months, depending on individual facial expressions and metabolism.
Yes, in certain cases, Bunny Lines can be treated with biostimulating preparations such as polynucleotides in addition to botulinum toxin treatment – especially if the wrinkles are already visible at rest. However, injection with hyaluronic acid directly in the nasal area is usually not recommended, as sensitive vascular structures run there, and there is a risk of circulatory disorders. A combination of muscle relaxation and regenerative active ingredients can achieve a very natural result when correctly indicated – after individual medical assessment.
If you are considering medical aesthetic treatment, schedule your consultation for an honest assessment tailored to your needs.
