What are Bunny Lines?
Imagine a cute little bunny sniffing some tasty food. Do you see how its nose is scrunched up? Now try it yourself and scrunch up your nose like you just smelled something you didn’t like. All those wrinkles that appear on either side of your nose are called Bunny Lines. Bunny Lines are different from marionette lines or nasolabial folds which you gain from lots of laughing and smiling over time.
As we age, our skin loses elasticity and our collagen production slows down. Collagen is a vital protein in our bodies that also helps keep our skin smooth and firm. Over time, as collagen production decreases, our bodies are more susceptible to wrinkles. In addition to a lack of collagen, our face requires quite a bit of muscle movement, which then stretches and scrunches our skin. Over time, this constant push and pull will leave pronounced lines on our face, particularly around areas of high movement like the mouth and nose.
While these wrinkles vary per person, chances are all of us will encounter them at some point. Read on to learn how you can avoid and help reduce Bunny Lines.
How Can I Avoid Bunny Lines & Other Facial Wrinkles?
Bunny Lines appear over time as collagen production decreases and the skin is exposed to movement and external elements. Here are some tips to help you avoid getting Bunny Lines in the future
Wear Sunscreen: Sunscreen provides a protective barrier between your skin and harmful sun rays. Sunlight can reduce skin elasticity and speed up the aging process, meaning more pronounced wrinkles. In addition to its many benefits, wearing sunscreen can also reduce your chances of developing Bunny Lines.
Avoid Touching or Picking at your Face: Picking at skin irritations or enlarged pores on our face can be very enticing, for some of us at least, but you should really avoid this activity. Picking at facial skin can lead to the popping of tiny blood vessels in your skin. While the damage may not be too noticeable in the beginning, over time this damage will become more pronounced and can contribute to wrinkles and poor skin texture. Leave skin picking and popping to the professionals! Click here to see how our medical professionals can help!
Exfoliate Often: Exfoliating your skin can help remove dead skin cell build-up and encourages new skin growth. Exfoliating on a regular basis can help improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
What Is Botox®?
Neuromodulators, or muscle relaxants such as Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® are used strategically to relax certain muscles that convey a negative connotation and to ‘wake up’ other muscles that convey a positive expression.
Botox® Cosmetic is the number one aesthetic procedure in the world, for no other reason than it works! Patients decide to get a muscle relaxant such as Botox® or Dysport® for a number of reasons. When using these muscle relaxers, there is usually no downtime associated with them, which means that no one has to know unless you choose to tell them. The results appear gradually and disappear gradually, making the results subtle, yet dramatic.
Are you considering Botox® for Bunny Lines?
Injecting Botox® into Bunny Lines is a delicate procedure and should be handled by an experienced injector. Too much Botox® in this area can lead to a rippled look in the skin, distorted nostrils, or a shifted smile. Rest assured, you are in safe hands at Bougie Aesthetics and we will ensure you leave feeling beautiful!
Botox® for Bunny Lines is not a necessary procedure and there are some other options available to you if you are hoping to reduce the appearance of these fine wrinkles. Alternative treatments like Facial Peels, Microneedling, and Laser Treatments can help smooth the skin and minimize the appearance of fine lines without Botox® injections.
If you absolutely NEED Botox® injections for this area, and your previous botox treatment has completely worn off, we suggest coupling your Bunny Line treatment with other Botox® services like under-eye/ tear trough filler, botox between the brows, or filler in the marionette lines. Combining these procedures together will be most cost-effective and save you any additional trips!
