Bunny lines are those subtle wrinkles that appear on either side of the nose when people smile or scrunch their faces.
These fine lines are often called “Bunny Lines” because they resemble the twitch of a bunny’s nose. For some, they are attractive; for others they can be a source of concern – particularly if you are seeking a smoother and more youthful complexion. Simple and non-invasive cosmetic interventions can address these nuances.
We offer specialised treatments to minimise the appearance of bunny lines. As with all treatments at the Dr. Hanson Clinic, we opt to minimise complexity. We aim to gently enhance your natural look, rather than trying too hard. And, of course, we have ample experience in light-touch facial enhancements, particularly the application of Botulinum.
Botulinum toxin is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum – you’ll likely have heard of it under the marketing name “Botox”. As clinical professionals, we are authorised to use carefully calibrated amounts of Botulinum to target specific muscles in the face for precise aesthetic outcomes.
When injected into the muscles, Botox blocks the nerve signals that tell the muscles to contract. This relaxes the muscles and smooths out the overlying skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. And because we can target individual muscles, we can create specific results on the face, with great precision.
Effects typically last 3-6 months. This will vary depending on factors like your age, metabolism, and the injection site. We will be able to give you more insight from experience at your consultation
This is where Dr. Hanson comes in. We will always be honest in our consultations. We will give you the best advice so you can make an informed decision before you take on any treatment – including fully assessing other options. There is never any obligation to undertake any treatment, and we invite you to take your time – we’ll be ready when you are.

THE PROCEDURE
The first step is a thorough consultation with one of our highly trained practitioners. We’ll discuss the outcomes you want to achieve; and your practitioner will be able to confirm that Botulinum is an appropriate course of action. We’ll assess your anatomy and skin, and determine the right injection points.
The area to be treated is cleaned, and in some cases we will also apply a topical anaesthetic. Many patients do not require this, as we use exceptionally fine needles – this means that Botulinum injections are generally well-tolerated. If you are worried about discomfort (or indeed injections in general), your practitioner will be delighted to put your mind at ease.
The practitioner will strategically administer botulinum toxin injections into the targeted muscles. We’ll only use what we need to optimise the effect and to minimise discomfort and complexity.
Botulinum toxin treatments are generally very safe when performed by experienced professionals like our team. Potential side effects include temporary redness, swelling or bruising at the injection site, but this very rarely lasts. In very rare cases, unintended muscle relaxation can occur, such as eyelid ptosis (drooping), but this is temporary and can be mitigated with proper injection technique – something which we, of course, prioritise.
POST-TREATMENT
You can usually continue with your day immediately, but we recommend that you avoid rigorous physical activity for 24 hours.
The dose may be low, but Botulinum is still a toxin. To ensure the toxin does not migrate to unintended areas, we recommend that you don’t rub the treated area. It’s also helpful if you can stay upright for a few hours, post-treatment.
You’ll start to see the effects within 3-5 days, with full results visible at around 2 weeks. The results achieved using botulinum toxin typically last between 3-4 months; after which we can repeat your treatment.
