Bunny lines are the diagonal lines that appear on both sides of the nose, below the bridge, when the person smiles or laughs. They are called bunny lines since they are similar to a pair of rabbit whiskers or ears. Like crow’s feet, bunny lines appear when a person does any facial expressions, and with age, they develop to form fine lines that show up even when the face is relaxed. You can reduce bunny lines with more conventional methods like anti-aging skin products and plenty of daily sleep. But if they are too annoying, you can opt for bunny line removal from an experienced and genuine medical spa like Beauty Abound Aesthetics in San Angelo, TX.
What causes bunny lines?
There are two main reasons for appearance of bunny lines:
Age:
Expressions are formed in the face due to the involved muscles. The skin is flexible and bounces back easily when you are young. But as you get older, skin loses its firmness and causes wrinkles, sagging, and fine lines. As there is a repetitive facial movement, you can see the appearance of fine lines over those areas. As you get older, there is more work on that part of the face and more likely you are to develop lines.
Xeomin/Dysport/Jeuveau/Botox:
Even Botox or Dysport treatment can cause the appearance of Bunny lines. They work by relaxing the target muscles in the face. When some of the muscle movements are restricted, other surrounding muscles work more to compensate for the muscles that are no longer moving. When such a thing happens, the resulting expression becomes unnatural and results in the formation of fine lines. Thus, if you have Botox, especially for a longer period, it could lead to the formation of Bunny lines. Therefore, it is essential to consult with an experienced medical practitioner who has a thorough knowledge of anatomy and Bunny line treatment.
How to get rid of bunny lines:
Ideally, the best way to treat the bunny lines is with a neurotoxin such as Xeomin/Dysport/Jeuveau/Botox. A skillful practitioner will cautiously plan the treatment depending on your needs and type of lines.
Dysport/Jeuveau vs. Xeomin/Botox
All are are neurotoxins that block muscle contractions. These injections are employed to treat contractions caused by issues of the nervous system but are widely used to treat facial wrinkles and lines. They’re all derived from botulinum toxins that are carefully used in small amounts for treatment. This is done as with very small injections and the procedure has gained popularity due to its minimal downtime and swift recovery rates. Still, they have to be done by practitioners who know the ins and outs of the procedure.
Xeomin/Dysport/Jeuveau/Botox are inhibitors that halt the regular muscle movements which generate expression lines. Botulinum toxin is employed to weaken the included muscles and curtail dynamic lines. The neurotoxins are injected straight into the target muscle, touching only lines caused by muscle contractions.
Treatment for Bunny lines is performed similarly to many other facial treatments with neurotoxins which was carried out to eliminate wrinkles. But here, the injection is done on both sides of the nose, targeting the fine lines. Initial treatment will soften the lines and the following treatments will gradually eliminate them, resulting in a firm and young appearance.
Major differences between Dysport and Botox are:
- Some researchers say that Dysport results may not last as long as Botox does. But it is still being studied on a large scale.
- The onset period for Dysport is much quicker, i.e., 2-5 days, whereas Botox takes 4-7 days.
- Dysport can spread to a larger area which could be an advantage in some cases and a disadvantage in others.
As bunny lines become more prominent, many individuals are looking for this kind of treatment. Many people worldwide are opting to have “tox” treatment for solving bunny lines issue after their session of Botox around the eyes, forehead, and cheek regions. Bunny lines that are caused after Botox treatment for other issues can be more prominent.
How long do the results last from Bunny Line Treatment?
Bunny line treatment has an immediate recovery period. Results last approximately 3 months after the first treatment. After several treatments, bunny lines will ease, and results will last longer. Generally, neurotoxin treatment is safe and most people don’t experience any serious complications except minor bruising, swelling, or itching that will vanish within 48 hours.
