Bunny Lines Botox in London
When you scrunch your nose, laugh, or smile, diagonal lines can appear on either side of your nose. These expression lines, known as bunny lines, may become more noticeable as skin loses some of its elasticity over time.
At our clinic in London, bunny lines treatment is planned around how your face moves, with the amount of Botox and injection sites confirmed only after a face-to-face consultation and clinical assessment.
What Is Bunny Lines Botox
Botox for bunny lines is an anti-wrinkle injection technique that targets the nasalis muscle, the small muscle on either side of the nose responsible for the diagonal wrinkles that form during scrunching or smiling.
Small amounts of Botox are injected into this area with the aim of reducing the muscle activity that causes these wrinkles, helping to smooth out the lines without significantly altering how the nose moves.
Because botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine, treating bunny lines with Botox can only proceed following a face-to-face consultation and, where clinically appropriate, a prescription issued by a qualified prescriber.
Who This Treatment May Suit
Bunny lines treatment may be considered by adults who notice wrinkles on the nose becoming more visible when they smile, scrunch, or laugh, and who want to explore ways to soften this expression pattern.
Suitability always depends on individual facial anatomy, medical history, and treatment goals, all of which are reviewed during a face-to-face clinical assessment rather than assumed from an online enquiry.
Patients who explore this treatment commonly include those who:
- Notice diagonal lines appearing on the sides of the nose when they smile
- Have tried other facial lines treatments and want to address the nose area specifically
- Want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles without changing their overall expression
- Are aged 18 or over and in general good health
Managing Sweating Concerns Through Clinical Assessment
Bunny lines typically form through repeated contraction of the nasalis muscle, the same muscle that causes the skin around the nose to fold when you scrunch it or smile widely.
Over time, and particularly as collagen naturally declines with age, these wrinkles can become more persistent, sometimes remaining faintly visible even when the face is at rest.
Consultation and Pricing
Treatment suitability, the personalised plan, and final cost for bunny lines treatment are confirmed only after consultation and clinical assessment, since individual anatomy and muscle strength affect the plan.

Before and After Bunny Lines Botox
Following treatment, patients may notice that the skin around the nose appears smoother, with a reduced appearance of the diagonal lines that form when scrunching or smiling.
Results vary between individuals, and photographs used for reference represent individual patient outcomes rather than results that can be guaranteed or expected by everyone.
Changes patients may typically report include:
- A softer appearance of lines on the nose during expression
- Smoother-looking skin texture across the treated area
- Less visible bunny wrinkles when scrunching, laughing, or smiling
- Facial expression that continues to look natural rather than frozen
- A more even appearance around the nose and mid-face over the following weeks
How Muscle Activity Influences Bunny Lines
The strength and shape of the nasalis muscle varies between individuals, which is one reason the amount of Botox used for bunny lines can differ from patient to patient.
Treatment planning also considers the surrounding areas of the face, with the aim of softening lines around the nose without affecting the muscles responsible for natural expression nearby.
Treatment Focus | What Is Usually Assessed | Intended Effect |
Nasalis muscle activity | Strength of muscle contraction during scrunching and smiling | May help reduce the visible lines caused by repeated contraction |
Injection site and depth | Skin thickness and muscle position on either side of your nose | Aims to target the muscle precisely to reduce the risk of product affecting nearby muscles |
Facial balance | How the nose, upper lip, and eye area move together | Intended to soften wrinkles without affecting natural expression |
Dosage planning | Individual muscle strength and previous treatment history | Aims to use an appropriate dose rather than over-treating the area |
Results, Longevity and Recovery
Many patients notice early softening of bunny lines within three to seven days of treatment, with the effects of Botox typically reaching their fuller extent after around two weeks.
Results from Botox in this area typically last around three to four months, after which muscle activity and visible wrinkles can gradually return, at which point further treatment may be considered.
Safety, Risks and Important Considerations
Treating bunny lines with Botox requires a face-to-face consultation, appropriate prescribing, and careful assessment of the nasalis muscle and surrounding areas of the face before any injection is planned.
As with any injectable treatment, side effects or temporary unwanted effects can occur, and this treatment should never be considered automatically suitable or without any risk.
Botox for bunny lines is not appropriate for every patient, and a clinician will discuss individual factors, including relevant medical history, during your consultation.
Key considerations before treatment include:
- Individual muscle strength and how this may influence dosage
- Medical history, including neuromuscular conditions or allergies
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding, where treatment is not advised
- Possible temporary bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site
- The value of a review appointment if any adjustment is needed

Bunny Lines Botox FAQs
What does bunny lines Botox do?
Bunny lines treatment targets the nasalis muscle at the side of the nose, the muscle that causes the diagonal wrinkles appearing when you scrunch or smile. Small, measured doses are injected with the aim of reducing muscle activity in this area, which may help soften how these lines look. The specific plan, including dosage and injection sites, is confirmed following a face-to-face consultation.
Who is usually a suitable candidate for bunny lines Botox?
Adults who notice lines becoming more visible on either side of the nose during smiling or scrunching may be considered candidates, subject to consultation. Suitability depends on individual anatomy, muscle strength, medical history, and treatment goals, all reviewed during a face-to-face assessment. This treatment is not appropriate for every patient, and a clinician will discuss any relevant health considerations with you directly.
How painful is Botox for bunny lines?
Most patients describe Botox for bunny lines as generally well tolerated, since a fine needle is used and only a small number of injections are needed in a relatively small area. Discomfort is typically brief and often compared to a light pinch or scratch. Your practitioner will discuss comfort options with you during consultation, based on your individual sensitivity and preferences.
How long do bunny lines treatment results usually last?
Results from Botox for bunny lines typically last around three to four months, though this varies between individuals depending on muscle strength, metabolism, and the dose used. As the effect of the Botox gradually wears off, muscle activity and visible wrinkles can begin to return. A follow-up treatment can then be discussed if you wish to maintain the softened appearance you have seen.
Are there risks or side effects with Botox for bunny lines?
As with any injectable treatment, it can carry temporary risks such as bruising, swelling, redness, or mild tenderness at the injection site. Less commonly, asymmetry or unintended effects on nearby muscles may occur. These risks are discussed in detail during your consultation, where your medical history and anatomy are assessed to help plan treatment appropriately and reduce avoidable complications.
Is there any downtime after bunny lines Botox?
Botox for bunny lines is generally associated with minimal downtime, and most patients return to their usual activities the same day. Some mild redness, swelling, or small bruising at the injection site can occur and typically settles within a short period. Patients are usually advised to avoid touching the treated area, strenuous exercise, and lying flat for several hours following treatment.
Can bunny lines Botox be reversed, adjusted, or allowed to wear off if needed?
Botox is not reversed in the way a dermal filler can be dissolved. Instead, its effects are temporary and typically wear off gradually over several months as muscle activity naturally returns. If the result needs adjusting, this is usually addressed at a review appointment, where your practitioner can assess the area and discuss whether further treatment fits your ongoing plan.
How is the right treatment plan decided?
Your treatment plan is decided during a face-to-face consultation, where your facial anatomy, muscle strength, medical history, and aesthetic goals are discussed together. Dr. Ivan provides the required prescribing consultation where prescription-only products are involved, while Angelika discusses technique and what may realistically be expected. This collaborative, assessment-led approach is intended to tailor bunny lines treatment plan specifically to you.
