BUNNY LINES-RELAXING INJECTIONS
Smooth away fine lines and wrinkles
BUNNY LINES
​
Bunny lines are wrinkles on either side of the nose that appear when you scrunch your nose or make exaggerated facial expressions. They’re not the same as marionette lines or nasolabial folds which are wrinkles you get from smiling and laughing a lot. These lines can be a natural part of growing older, and some people find them charming. Others may feel that bunny lines age their face and are self-conscious about it. If you fall into the latter category, you may be considering getting Botox for your bunny lines.
​
WHAT CAUSES BUNNY LINES ?
As we age, our skin loses elasticity and collagen production slows down. This means it becomes harder to keep our skin smooth and firm. In addition, repeated muscle movements can cause more pronounced lines to form around areas like your nose where you often hold tension. These small lines typically occur when a person scrunches up their nose, similar to when a bunny lifts its nose. Some people are more prone to getting bunny lines based on the way that they make their facial expressions. But there is another factor that causes these lines to develop. If you have had too much botulinum toxin A injected on your forehead between your eyebrows, the other muscles in your face will have to work extra hard to compensate. Which is why you might end up developing bunny lines.
​
HOW TO GET RID OF DEEP BUNNY LINES
Botulinum toxin is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum which blocks the electrical impulses that make the facial muscles contract. Used as a cosmetic ingredient, it can be injected into your muscles to temporarily block signals from your nervous system that tell certain muscles to move.
Since many fine lines on your face, including bunny lines, are caused by your muscles making the same contraction over and over, blocking this signal can minimize the appearance of these wrinkles. Botulinum toxin injections can also slow the formation of new lines by preventing contraction of facial muscles.
