What Are Bunny Lines?
Bunny lines are those diagonal (or sometimes horizontal) lines that form across your upper nose when you scrunch or wrinkle it. Bunny lines are aptly named as scrunching your nose resembles the twitching of a rabbit’s nose.
Bunny lines are usually from repeated muscle movement over time. They most often appear diagonally along the sides of the nose due to activity in one or more of three muscles: the medial orbicularis oculi, the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi (LLSAN), or the nasalis. In some people, horizontal lines may also appear higher across the bridge of the nose, which are linked to contraction of the central frown muscle known as the procerus.
Bunny lines are genetic and may accompany your natural frown or even smile, but occasionally they result from other cosmetic treatments. With loss of collagen and elastin from your skin with ageing, bunny lines can become ingrained. Ingrained lines are scar-like and often difficult to reverse.
Bunny lines are all part of the normal ageing process and only need to be addressed if they bother you.
How Can The Dr. Jodie Clinic In Melbourne Assist With Your Bunny Lines?
At the Dr. Jodie clinic, we offer consultations to address your concerns about bunny lines.
This will include discussion of your treatment options such as medical treatments, skin care, skin peels, LED therapy, mono threads, Laser Genesis, Meso Microneedling, and the Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling.
Please note that any treatment that includes the use of schedule 4 medications cannot legally be advertised online, as directed by our governing body the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), so it is not a feature of our discussion here.
Your first step is always consultation involving thorough facial assessment.
What Is Involved In Your Dr. Jodie Clinic Consultation For Bunny Lines In Melbourne?
Your Dr. Jodie clinician will conduct a thorough assessment to see if you are a good candidate for treatment. She will analyse your pattern of bunny lines to identify which underlying muscles are contributing. She will also assess the quality of your skin to see if you would benefit collagen and elastin stimulation. Your medical history will be reviewed to ensure there are no contraindications to treatment. Based on her assessment, she will formulate a personalised treatment plan to help soften your bunny lines.
Most importantly, your Dr. Jodie clinician will take the time to explain your treatment plan, including the treatment process involved, associated risks and benefits, and your financial obligations. We understand that proper medical and financial consent are essential for good patient outcomes and satisfaction.
You will have adequate time to ask questions about your plan and we will always document your progress with standardised clinical photography.
Considered Cosmetic Care For Bunny Line Concerns In Melbourne
At the Dr. Jodie clinic, your clinician places great importance on achieving a balanced and harmonious outcome - and bunny line concerns are no exception. Treatments are carefully tailored to remain subtle, ensuring they do not detract from your natural expressions, such as your smile.
Because of the delicate anatomy in this area, particular care is taken to avoid potential complications, including changes to the position of the top lip or alterations to the shape of the nose. With a strong understanding of facial anatomy, your Dr. Jodie clinician will guide you through the process.
Rather than treating this area in isolation, your whole face will be considered during your consultation and assessment. This holistic approach allows your clinician to plan treatments that harmonise with your existing features and support a more balanced result overall.
Tailored Approach To Bunny Line Concerns At Melbourne’s Dr. Jodie Clinic
Your Dr. Jodie clinician will carefully assess your facial muscle movement to develop a plan tailored to your needs. Bunny lines are most often seen diagonally along the sides of the nose, but they can also appear horizontally across the bridge. Understanding which specific muscle groups contribute to your individual lines is an important part of planning treatment.
By identifying the muscles involved, your Dr. Jodie clinician can recommend an approach designed to target the underlying cause of your bunny lines. Where lines are already ingrained in the skin, your treatment plan may also include tailored skin therapies, such as skin needling, laser or peels, to help improve skin texture alongside muscle-targeted treatments.
There is never a ‘one size fits all’ or ‘cookie cutter’ approach at the Dr. Jodie clinic. Instead, your treatment plan is based on what best complements your natural features, without following generic trends.
