Treatment Area: Bunny Lines
Bunny lines are the fine wrinkles that appear on either side of the nose when we scrunch it—typically while laughing or making expressive facial movements. They often form as a result of repetitive use of the nasalis muscle, which runs across the bridge and sides of the nose. As we age and skin elasticity decreases, these expression lines can become static and visible even when the face is at rest.
Bunny lines may also appear more prominently in individuals who receive wrinkle relaxer treatments in other areas, such as the glabella (11s) or forehead. When those muscles are relaxed, the nasalis may compensate, leading to increased use and the appearance of lines in this area.
Why It Matters
While bunny lines are typically smaller than forehead or frown lines, they can become more noticeable over time—especially in highly expressive individuals. For many people, these lines are a subtle sign of aging or muscle imbalance that can distract from a smooth, youthful appearance. Treating them can refine your facial expression and balance your overall aesthetic.
The Importance of Preventative and Ongoing Care
Because bunny lines are often a secondary effect of treating other areas, it’s important to address them with a light touch to maintain harmony across the face. Early treatment can help prevent deeper creasing and support natural-looking results when combined with other wrinkle relaxer treatments. Ongoing maintenance ensures that corrections stay balanced as facial muscles shift with age and use.
How Injector 5280 Can Help
We treat bunny lines with precision and subtlety—focusing on softening the area while preserving natural movement. Because this concern often develops as a secondary effect of treating the upper face, our approach is always customized to your facial dynamics, ensuring harmony across the brow, eyes, and midface.
Wrinkle Relaxers
A small, precisely placed dose of Botox®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau® along the upper sides of the nose can soften bunny lines without restricting natural expression. This is often done in combination with other upper face treatments to maintain a smooth, cohesive result. Dosing is conservative to avoid overcorrection.

SkinPen® Microneedling
For patients with more established bunny lines that remain even at rest, SkinPen microneedling helps improve the skin’s texture and elasticity. By stimulating collagen production in the treated area, it gradually reduces the appearance of fine lines and strengthens the surrounding tissue.
