What are Bunny Lines?
What do Nicole Kidman, Kylie Minogue, and Kim Cattrall have in common? They have all vocalized their experiences with bunny lines. Yes, even celebrities still worry about those pesky aging signs. You may not realize that you don’t always need expensive treatments. In some cases, doing nothing is also a solution.
So, what exactly are these “bunny lines,” and should you be concerned?
What Are Bunny Lines?
Despite the cute name, bunny lines aren’t something most people appreciate. Also known as “nose wrinkles,” they are tiny diagonal creases on the sides of the nose near the bridge. These appear when you scrunch your nose, laugh, or smile.
Before you panic — bunny lines are extremely common. They may deepen over time, but most people can safely ignore them unless they want to target this area.
Bunny lines are caused by repeated contractions of the nasalis muscle. If you don’t typically crinkle your nose when laughing or smiling, your lines may be less noticeable.
To test whether you have bunny lines, look in the mirror and scrunch your face. If diagonal nose-side wrinkles appear, you’ve found them.
Treatments to Reduce Bunny Lines
Ironically, injectables are both a cause and a treatment for bunny lines. Too many injections between the eyebrows can create bunny lines — and more injections can smooth them out.
Injectables contain neurotoxins that block the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, relaxing facial muscles. These treatments are safe in controlled doses and are more effective than topical products. Results last for months.
Needles used are tiny and require no downtime, making injections a popular option.
However, injectables are not cheap. In the US, they typically cost $300–$1,000 depending on the units needed.
Common side effects include swelling and bruising for up to 48 hours. Less common effects include headaches or fatigue.
If you’re unsure whether you’re a good candidate, consult a specialist first.
Injectables are not recommended for everyone. Most people begin showing signs of aging in their 30s as the skin loses firmness and elasticity due to environmental damage.
Teens and people in their 20s should focus on lifestyle changes, exercise, and diet instead of turning to injections too early.
If injections aren’t your thing, a consistent skincare routine can help. While not as dramatic as medical treatments, retinol and daily sunscreen may improve bunny lines naturally.

Summary: How to Get Rid of Bunny Lines

Remember — bunny lines are not as noticeable as many other wrinkles. They only appear when specific muscles contract, so whether to treat them is entirely up to you.
