Bunny Lines Treatment: Smooth Nasal Wrinkles Effectively
Bunny lines—those delicate wrinkles that appear when you scrunch your nose—can subtly age your appearance. These lines often develop from repeated facial expressions and become more noticeable over time. At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton, we provide focused treatments to address bunny lines while complementing other facial muscle treatments for a balanced look.
Our approach ensures these nasal creases are softened without affecting your natural expressions. Unlike more common areas such as forehead lines or frown lines, bunny lines require precise technique for natural-looking results.
“Addressing bunny lines can significantly enhance facial harmony and rejuvenate your appearance.”
Bunny Lines Treatment Results: Before and After Pictures
Post-treatment, most clients notice a visible reduction in nose wrinkles within a few days. These results continue to improve over two weeks and typically last three to four months. Compared to treatments like the Nefertiti lift or facial slimming, bunny line correction is quick and requires minimal downtime.

Procedure Overview: A Video Showing the Treatment at Our Clinic
During the bunny lines treatment at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, a qualified practitioner will administer small Botox injections into the nasalis muscle on either side of your nose. This process relaxes the muscle, thereby reducing the appearance of wrinkles. The procedure is swift, often completed within 15 minutes, and requires no anesthesia. Clients can typically return to their daily activities immediately after the treatment.
Treatment Preparation and Aftercare Timeline
3 to 7 Days Before (Preparation)
To prepare for the treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E, as they can increase the risk of bruising. It's also advisable to refrain from consuming alcohol during this period.
Treatment Day (What to Expect)
On the day of the procedure, arrive with a clean face free of makeup. The practitioner will cleanse the area and may apply a topical numbing agent to ensure comfort. The injections are administered with fine needles, targeting the specific muscles responsible for bunny lines.
1 to 7 Days After (Immediate Aftercare)
Post-treatment, you may experience slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, which typically subsides within a few hours. Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area and refrain from strenuous exercise for 24 hours to allow the product to settle properly.
7 to 14 Days (Ongoing Aftercare)
As the results develop, continue to avoid excessive sun exposure and apply sunscreen to protect the skin. If any bruising occurs, it should fade within this timeframe. Follow-up appointments can be scheduled to assess the results and determine if any touch-ups are needed.
3 to 6 Months (Long-Term Maintenance)
To maintain the smooth appearance achieved with the treatment, plan for subsequent sessions every 3-4 months. Regular treatments can help prevent the reappearance of bunny lines and contribute to prolonged youthful skin.
Understanding Bunny Lines and Their Causes
Bunny lines form from years of using the nasalis muscle during facial expressions like smiling or squinting. This natural movement, common in highly expressive individuals, is similar to what causes other expression-related lines. With reduced collagen production over time, these creases become more permanent.
Alternative Treatments for Bunny Lines
In some cases, laser therapy or dermal fillers may be considered for deeper lines. However, most clients see optimal results with muscle-relaxing injections. We’ll help you evaluate the best option during your consultation.
