Softening nose wrinkles for a
relaxed, refreshed look
Do Bunny Lines Bother You When You Smile?
Do you notice small wrinkles on the sides of your nose when you laugh, smile, or scrunch your face? These are called bunny lines, and they are very common. It is normal to feel self-conscious when fine lines linger, even at rest. The good news is that you don’t need to live with bunny lines if they concern you. There are effective, evidence-based treatment options that can soften wrinkles on the nose. At Queensland Skin and Laser, our team focus on natural results, safety, and subtle balance. That is why patients trust us with delicate areas like bunny lines.
What are bunny lines?
Bunny lines are fine, diagonal wrinkles on both sides of the nose. They sit just below the bridge and above the nostrils. These wrinkles often appear only during facial movement. Over time, they may become visible even when the face is relaxed.
The area most commonly treated is the upper nose. In some patients, nearby muscles may also influence the appearance.
Why do bunny lines develop?
Bunny lines form from repeated facial expressions. Scrunching the nose when smiling is the most common cause. As skin ages, collagen and volume gradually reduce, which makes wrinkles more likely to become etched into the skin. In some cases, muscle overactivity can develop elsewhere. For example, this may happen after treatment between the eyebrows. Fine lines on thenose develop due to a combination of factors:
- Strong facial muscle movements
- Frequent nose scrunching
- Natural ageing changes
- Loss of skin elasticity
Facial muscles drive expression lines over time.

Bunny Lines Treatment Process
At Queensland Skin And Laser
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR TREATMENT
Consultation
Your journey begins with a cosmetic consultation with our doctor or dermal nurses to address your concerns and outline a individualised plan. We assess facial movement, skin quality, and discuss previous treatments.
Preparation
In preparation for your treatment, you may be asked to adjust skincare or sun exposure (depending on your chosen treatment option). This helps reduce sensitivity and optimise results. Additionally, avoid waxing, threading, or chemical peels two days prior to your appointment.
Treatment
Generally, treatment for this small area is quick and targeted to the nasal muscles or skin. However, sometimes a combination approach is recommended, which may provide the best outcome.
Aftercare & Results
Mild redness or swelling may occur. After the treatment, avoid strenuous exercise or activities that increase blood flow to the face. Do not apply makeup or skincare products to the treated area. Refrain from alcohol consumption and excessive sun exposure, and avoid saunas, steam rooms, and hot showers.
Results vary depending on the chosen treatment, however, results tend to develop gradually and often improve facial balance.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
Preventing Bunny Lines
Bunny lines form from repeated facial expressions. Scrunching the nose when smiling is the most common cause. Completely preventing expression lines is not possible. However, good skincare supports healthier ageing. Helpful strategies include:
- Daily sun protection
- Retinol-based skincare
- Avoid excessive scrunching
- Professional assessment and treatments
Microneedling works by creating micro-injuries to stimulate your body’s natural collagen and elastin, leading to smoother, firmer skin.
Possible Risks and Side Effects
Treatment for bunny lines is generally safe and well tolerated. However, all treatments carry some risk, including;
- Mild redness or swelling of the treatment area.
- Temporary bruising
- Pinpoint bleeding can appear in sensitive areas but typically heals quickly
- Mild skin sensitivity or tenderness for 24-48 hours
- Mild skin irritation or dryness as the skin heals
Your doctor will discuss all risks and sife effects of bunny lines treatment during your consultation.
Cost of Bunny Lines Treatment
The cost of bunny line treatment varies based on individual needs and the approach recommended by our medical team.
At Queensland Skin and Laser, we believe in transparent pricing, and all costs are available on our website and will be discussed during your consultation.
