Blast Bunny Lines with Botox

By Anne Hastings Fennell


Bunny lines refer to the creases that form on the sides of the upper nose and across the bridge of the nose when you wrinkle up your nose, much like the way a bunny's nose twitches. Hence, the name bunny lines. The muscle responsible for this action is called the nasalis muscle. The nasalis muscle that stretches across the bridge of the nose. It's the muscle that allows you to flare your nostrils. It's one of those muscles that people use involuntarily. For example, people will use this when they are laughing or frowning.

Lines and wrinkles can remain even when the muscle is not being used. Just like other areas of the face, repetition can play a defining factor in this development of deep lines and wrinkles. The aging process only exaggerates this effect. These bunny lines can show quite prominently on the sides of the nose and even go into the tear trough region. You can actually sometimes makes these bunny lines even worse when you are treating a frown. What happens is that some patients end up overusing the nasalis muscle. The effect is more prominent bunny lines.

Fortunately, Botox has been successfully treating bunny lines for years. The dosing depends upon each individual's unique anatomy, but is usually as low as five to ten units. Botox is injected into both sides of the nasal bridge, targeting the nasalis muscle. Most patients indicate that the injection is completely painless. The needle used for Botox injections is very fine and some patients aren't even aware that they have received an injection. Despite its small size, the nasalis is a pretty strong muscle; after the initial injection is given, a few more units are sometimes required. Wait a couple of weeks after the first treatment to have the best overall effect. When the nasalis muscle is finally relaxed, after the Botox takes effect, the lines across the nose and down the sides of the nose are smoothed out. This can augment the frown treatment and create a more youthful, relaxed look.

So, if you are suffering your bunny lines, consider getting a Botox treatment to bring back those youthful looks.

Botox Vials

Botox comes in a multi-dose vial. Typically they come in standard units of one hundred. The Botox protein sticks to the walls of the glass vial in which it comes. In order to be injected into muscles, the freeze-dried protein must be reconstituted. What this means is that sterile saline must be injected into the vial to dissolve the protein into a liquid solution so that it can be injected.
