Bunny Lines Treatment in London

In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the causes and signs of bunny lines and explore an effective treatment option using anti-wrinkle injections, available at our clinic in London under the expertise of Una Jefford. Bunny lines, a colloquial term for the fine lines that appear on the nose when a person smiles or scrunches their face, can be a common concern for individuals seeking a smoother and more youthful appearance.

Bunny Lines Treatment in London

Causes of Bunny Lines

Bunny lines are primarily caused by the repeated contraction of the muscles around the nose. As we age, our skin loses collagen and elasticity, making it more prone to developing lines and wrinkles. The habitual use of facial expressions, such as smiling or squinting, can lead to the formation of these lines over time. Additionally, genetic factors, sun exposure, and environmental elements can contribute to the development of bunny lines.

Signs of Bunny Lines

The signs of bunny lines are most noticeable when a person smiles or engages in facial expressions that involve the nose. These lines appear as fine wrinkles on either side of the nose, resembling the twitch of a bunny’s nose, hence the term “Bunny Lines.” While they are a natural part of ageing, some individuals may find them bothersome and seek ways to minimise their appearance.

Bunny Lines treatment with Anti-Wrinkle Injections

At our aesthetic clinic in London, we offer an effective solution to address bunny lines through anti-wrinkle injections administered by the skilled hands of Una Jefford. As a renowned practitioner with a wealth of experience in cosmetic dermatology, Una Jefford specialises in providing natural-looking results while ensuring patient safety and satisfaction.

Anti-wrinkle injections, commonly containing botulinum toxin, work by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for the formation of bunny lines. By inhibiting muscle contractions, these injections smooth out the wrinkles and create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Una Jefford’s personalised approach involves a thorough consultation to understand each patient’s unique facial anatomy and tailor the treatment accordingly.

What to expect at a bunny lines treatment session

When you arrive for your appointment, Úna will first discuss the treatment plan and may apply a topical numbing cream to the injection sites. She will then use a fine needle to inject small amounts of Botox into the muscles around the sides of your nose. This typically requires multiple injection sites to target the nasalis muscle responsible for bunny lines.

You may experience some mild stinging or discomfort during the injections, but this is usually minimal. Afterwards, you may have some swelling or bruising in the treated area, but this should subside within a day or two. It can take 3-4 days to start seeing the results of the Botox, with the full effects visible within 2 weeks. The results typically last 4-6 months before the Botox wears off and the wrinkles gradually return appearance. Úna understands each patient’s unique facial anatomy and will tailor the treatment accordingly.

Benefits of Treating Bunny Lines

Apart from improving appearance, a bunny lines treament can also restore confidence and create a softer, more approachable expression. Many patients find that reducing these fine wrinkles enhances the overall harmony of their facial features, especially when combined with other treatments such as crow’s feet or frown line reduction. With a skilled injector like Úna Jefford, results are subtle yet effective, avoiding the “frozen” look often associated with poorly administered anti-wrinkle treatments.

How to Maintain Your Results

To prolong the effects of your bunny lines treatment, it is important to follow a tailored aftercare routine. This may include:

Avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, or facial massages for the first 24 hours after treatment
Using a high-quality SPF daily to protect against UV damage and premature ageing
Scheduling regular review appointments so Úna can make minor adjustments as your facial muscles adapt

With consistent maintenance, clients often find they can extend the interval between treatments over time.

Who is a Good Candidate for Bunny Lines Treatment?

Ideal candidates are adults who notice fine lines on either side of the nose when smiling or scrunching their face, and who wish to achieve a more youthful look without surgery. You should be in good general health, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have realistic expectations for the outcome. During your consultation, Úna will assess your facial anatomy, medical history, and goals to ensure the treatment is tailored to your specific needs.

Possible Side Effects

Bunny lines treatment is generally safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site can occur, but these usually resolve quickly. Rare side effects may include temporary asymmetry or slight nasal weakness, which typically improve as the treatment wears off. Choosing an experienced medical professional, such as Úna, significantly reduces these risks.

Enhancing Results with Combination Treatments

For an even more refreshed look, bunny lines treatment can be combined with other non-surgical aesthetic options. Popular choices include crow’s feet reduction, dermal fillers to restore volume, or skin rejuvenation treatments to improve tone and texture. This holistic approach can create balanced, natural-looking results across your entire face.
