Wrinkles often have charming nicknames, and bunny lines are no exception. These adorable-sounding wrinkles may show up on your nose, but they’re not nearly as cute as they sound.
## What are Bunny Lines?
Bunny lines are very fine wrinkles on or around your nose. These wrinkles only appear when you make certain facial expressions, like scrunching up your nose or smiling. Bunny lines are wrinkles just above or below the bridge of your nose, starting from the inside corner of your eye. They can be straight or diagonal creases that show up on both sides of your nose.

Wondering if you have bunny lines? Make a face like you’ve smelled something stinky and check your reflection in the mirror. You’ll see some fine lines or wrinkles along your nose near the bridge of your nose. Those are bunny lines. 
## What Causes Bunny Lines?
When your face is relaxed, you probably can’t see your bunny lines. They only appear when you laugh, smile broadly, or scrunch your nose. Like any other wrinkles, bunny lines can deepen over time. Eventually, these fine lines may be visible even when you have a neutral facial expression. As your skin ages, wrinkles and fine lines don’t disappear even when your face is relaxed.
## Does Botox Cause Bunny Lines?
Bunny lines can sometimes be a sign that you’ve had Botox. Botox treatments relax targeted muscles. When these muscles don’t tense up, it reduces the appearance of wrinkles. However, sometimes relaxing one muscle can lead to over-activity in another muscle.

For example, if you’ve had Botox on the frown lines between your eyebrows, the muscles around the bridge of your nose may become more active during certain facial expressions. The added exercise can lead to the appearance of bunny lines.

Bunny lines caused by Botox are often a sign that you’ve had too much Botox. That’s why working with a skilled nurse is incredibly important. Injecting the correct dose into targeted muscles will reduce the risk of overactive muscles elsewhere on your face. An experienced nurse can prevent bunny lines due to Botox.
## Will Botox Get Rid of Bunny Lines?
Botox is a great treatment option to get rid of bunny lines. If you’re not happy with the creases around your nose, a botulinum toxin injection can relax the muscles around your nose, preventing bunny lines.

Most wrinkles on your face deepen when your muscles move in the same way over and over again. Botox limits the movement of targeted muscles by blocking signals from the brain. The result is smoother skin with fewer visible wrinkles. Botox is a minimally invasive treatment, and the results aren’t permanent. Botox for bunny lines usually lasts from three to six months. 
## Preventing Bunny Lines
How do you prevent wrinkles before they show up? Having a good skincare routine is always a good idea. This should include at least a cleanser and a moisturizer with SPF. 

If you frequently scrunch your nose during facial expressions, you may consider preventative Botox injections that will help you relax these muscles and limit wrinkles before they deepen.
