Bunny Lines
Diagonal lines along the sides of the nasal bridge form through activity of the nasalis muscle — when laughing, wrinkling the nose, or squinting in concentration. They often become more noticeable once the surrounding areas have already been treated.

Indications
What this treatment is suited for
- Diagonal lines along the sides of the nasal bridge
- Lines becoming more prominent after forehead or glabellar treatment
- Pronounced nose-wrinkling in everyday expression
Mechanism
How the treatment works
A very small amount is placed on both sides into the upper portion of the nasalis muscle. Muscle tension in this area decreases, so the skin over the nasal bridge creases less when tensed. Because the area borders directly on the upper-lip muscles, precise placement matters more here than quantity.
Procedure
The treatment procedure
Expression is assessed together with the forehead, glabella, and eye area, as bunny lines rarely occur in isolation. Two to four minimal injections follow. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes.
Aftercare
After the treatment
Remain upright for a few hours, avoid massaging the nasal area, no sports or sauna on the day of treatment.
Risks and side effects
Mild redness, swelling, or small bruises at the injection sites are possible. If placement is too deep or too low, temporary changes in upper-lip movement can occur.
Contraindications
Not suitable for certain neuromuscular disorders, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, or in the presence of infections in the treatment area.
Questions about the treatment
Frequently asked questions
Why do bunny lines become more noticeable after other treatments?
When the forehead and glabella are relaxed, part of the expression shifts to neighbouring muscles. The nasal muscle then works slightly harder, which can make these lines more visible. This is why the area is often included in the same treatment plan.
