What Are Bunny Lines?
Bunny lines are those diagonal lines (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 form from excessive pull on your skin from your underlying muscles. They mainly refer to the diagonal lines that form on the sides of your nose from movement of your nasalis muscle. Sometimes horizontal lines are seen across your upper nose from contraction of your central frown muscle procerus.
Bunny lines are genetic and may accompany your natural frown or even smile, but occasionally they result from other cosmetic treatments, such as frown treatments. Over time, with loss of collagen and elastin from your skin with ageing, bunny lines can become ingrained. Ingrained lines are scar-like in that they are difficult to reverse, so prevention is always key.
How Can The Dr. Jodie Clinic In Melbourne Assist With Your Bunny Lines?
Your Dr. Jodie clinician offers consultations on how to prevent or soften bunny lines.
This will include discussion of your treatment options such as medical treatments, skin care, skin peels, LED therapy, mono threads, Laser Genesis, 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 soften your bunny lines.
Most importantly, your Dr. Jodie clinician will take the time to explain your treatment plan, including the process involved for recommended treatments, associated risks, and your financial obligations. Both 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.

Your Dr. Jodie clinician will always aim to ensure that your outcome is subtle and does not negatively impact your smile.

Your Dr. Jodie clinician has a thorough understanding of facial anatomy and can help you navigate treatment to minimise your risk. You can feel reassured that your whole face is considered during your consultation & assessment, not just isolated parts of your face. This holistic approach will allow your clinician to create a more refreshed appearance, but keep you looking just like you.
