why USE BOTOX FOR BUNNY LINES
And why does a tiny protein have such a big impact on your appearance?
Bunny lines treatment is a targeted non-surgical procedure designed to smooth the diagonal wrinkles that appear on the bridge and sides of the nose when you smile or scrunch your face. By relaxing the specific nasal muscles responsible for this movement with our FDA-approved treatment, the skin appears smoother and more youthful without affecting your ability to smile naturally.
These dynamic lines can become permanent static wrinkles over time if untreated. Botox softens the area, serving as both a corrective and preventative measure for the mid-face.
How Botox treatment Helps with Bunny Lines
Botox works by temporarily interrupting the signal between the nerve and the muscle at the neuromuscular junction. In this specific treatment, small doses are injected into the transverse nasalis muscles (and occasionally the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi). By reducing the contraction intensity of these muscles, the overlying skin no longer folds aggressively during expression, allowing existing lines to soften and preventing new ones from etching deeper.
Ideal Candidates
The ideal candidate for bunny lines treatment is an adult who notices distinct diagonal or horizontal wrinkles forming on the bridge of the nose during facial expressions such as smiling, laughing, or "scrunching" the nose.
- High Nasalis Activity ("The Scrunch"): Candidates often have a dominant transverse nasalis muscle. When they smile or laugh, their nose contracts significantly. If this movement creates visible crinkling that bothers you, you are likely a good candidate.
- Preventative Goals: Individuals who are starting to see faint lines lingering on the nose even after the face relaxes. Treating these "dynamic" lines early prevents them from becoming deep, permanent "static" wrinkles that are harder to treat later.
- Upper Face Balance (Adjunct Treatment): Patients who already receive Botox for frown lines (glabella) or crow's feet are often excellent candidates. When surrounding muscles are relaxed by Botox, the nasal muscles may sometimes overcompensate (recruit), creating new bunny lines. Treating the nose maintains a natural harmony across the upper face.
- Good Skin Elasticity: Candidates with healthy skin elasticity typically achieve the best results, as the skin can smooth out effectively once the underlying muscle tension is released.
Safety and Side Effects
Common temporary effects include mild swelling, pinpoint redness, or slight tenderness. Less common effects, such as eyebrow asymmetry, can occur if muscles respond unevenly, which is why injector experience is crucial. Neuromodulators like Botox have a well-established safety profile supported by decades of clinical use.

Benefits of lip flip Botox
A Polished, Youthful Look
Eliminating these wrinkles creates a cleaner, smoother appearance across the nose bridge. Since bunny lines are often associated with aging or excessive facial animation, smoothing them contributes to a more rested look.
Preventative Care
Treating dynamic lines (lines that only appear with movement) prevents them from turning into static lines (deep grooves visible when the face is at rest). Early intervention preserves the skin's collagen structure in this area.
Harmonious Facial Balance
This treatment is frequently paired with glabella (frown line) or crow’s feet injections. Treating the nose bridge ensures that muscle compensation doesn't cause new wrinkles to form in untreated areas, maintaining a balanced upper-face rejuvenation.
Minimal Downtime
The procedure involves very few injection points and takes only minutes. Most patients resume daily activities immediately, with any tiny injection marks fading within an hour.
Complementary Treatments
Bunny lines are often just one part of the puzzle. The nose is the central anchor of the face, and treating the muscle movement is only step one.
Because the nose is a magnet for sun damage, congestion, and redness, relaxing the wrinkles often reveals underlying texture issues. Here is how we perfect the center of your face using our full service menu:
Pore Perfection & Clarity
The nose is the most common area for enlarged pores and blackheads. A smooth, wrinkle-free bridge draws attention to the skin quality.
- HydraFacial: This is the ultimate partner for nose treatments. While Botox smooths the dynamic lines, the HydraFacial uses vacuum technology to physically extract congestion from the pores on the nose. It leaves the skin looking "glassy" and refined, maximizing the smooth aesthetic of your injection.
- Chemical Peels: If you have deeper texture or "orange peel" skin on the nose, a series of Chemical Peels will exfoliate the thickened top layer. This tightens the appearance of pores and creates a polished surface that makeup glides over effortlessly.
The "Redness" Eraser
- Spider Vein Removal: Look closely at the creases around your nose nostrils or the bridge itself. Do you see tiny red squiggles? These broken capillaries (spider veins) are incredibly common. Laser treatment can zap these vessels in seconds, removing the "ruddy" look and giving your nose a porcelain-like finish.
- IPL Photofacial: The bridge of the nose is the "sun deck" of the face—it burns first. If your bunny lines are surrounded by freckles or sunspots, IPL will shatter that pigment. A clear, even skin tone makes the nose look smaller and more defined.
The "Unibrow" Cleanup
Laser Hair Removal: Bunny lines sit right next to the glabella (the space between the brows). If you have stray hairs or a "monobrow" situation, it creates a shadow that darkens the eyes. Laser Hair Removal cleans up the area permanently, opening up the expression and ensuring nothing distracts from your results.
The Upper Face Balance
Glabellar (11s) & Crow’s Feet: Bunny lines rarely travel alone. They are part of the "scrunch" complex. If we relax the nose but leave the frown lines (11s) or eye lines (Crow's Feet) active, the face can look disconnected when you smile. We often recommend treating these three areas together (the "Upper Face Trio") for a seamless, natural expression.

Our bunny lines BOTOX FAQ
What is the average cost of Botox in CT?
While typical Botox prices in the South Windsor area range from $12-$20 per unit, at IV Lounge CT it costs only $10 a unit. For an exact quote based on your personal goals, schedule a consultation at our South Windsor office today.
What exactly are "Bunny Lines"?
Bunny lines are the diagonal or horizontal wrinkles that form on the bridge of your nose when you smile, laugh, or scrunch your face (like a rabbit sniffing). They are caused by the Nasalis muscle. While the name is cute, many patients feel these lines make their smile look "crinkled" or aged.
Did my other Botox cause my bunny lines?
It is possible! This is a phenomenon called "recruitment." Sometimes, after patients treat their frown lines (11s) and forehead, the brain subconsciously tries to find another way to make an expression. It recruits the nose muscles to "scrunch" instead. If you noticed these lines appearing only after starting Botox in other areas, let us know—it is a very easy fix.
Will treating bunny lines with botox affect my smile?
No, not if done correctly. We target the Nasalis muscle high on the bridge of the nose. We are careful to avoid the muscles lower down (near the nostrils) that lift the upper lip. When performed by an expert like our professionals from IV Lounge CT in South Windsor, your nose wrinkles relax, but your full, natural smile remains exactly the same.
How many botox units do I need to treat bunny lines?
This is a small area that requires a delicate touch. Typically, we use 4 to 6 units total (2 or 3 units on each side of the nose). Because the dose is so low, it is a very inexpensive add-on to your regular appointment.
Does botox for bunny lines hurt?
The skin on the nose is thin, so you might feel a quick, sharp pinch, but it is one of the fastest areas to treat—usually taking less than 5 seconds. We can apply numbing cream if you are sensitive, but most patients at CT find it very tolerable.
Do fillers work for bunny lines instead of botox?
Generally, no. Bunny lines are "dynamic"—caused by movement. Botox is the solution for movement. However, if you have a deep horizontal crease across the top of your nose that is there even when you aren't moving, that is a different issue. In rare cases, a tiny amount of filler might be used to soften a deep static crease, but Botox is the primary treatment.
