Smooth & Refresh: Effective Treatment for Bunny Lines
Bunny lines are the fine wrinkles that appear on either side of the nose when smiling, laughing, or scrunching the face. These lines develop due to repeated facial expressions and the natural ageing process, becoming more prominent over time. While they are a normal part of facial movement, some individuals find them bothersome and seek treatment to achieve a smoother appearance. At Karratha Medical Centre, Dr Amir Waly provides expert care and personalised treatment to soften bunny lines while maintaining natural facial expressions.
Understanding Bunny Lines and Their Treatment
Bunny lines form as a result of frequent contractions of the muscles around the upper nose. Over time, these repetitive movements cause the skin to develop fine creases, which may become visible even when the face is at rest. Contributing factors include genetics, skin elasticity, and lifestyle habits such as sun exposure.
Treatment involves a non-surgical approach that reduces muscle activity in the area, softening the appearance of bunny lines while preserving natural facial expressions. The treatment is tailored to suit each patient’s individual facial anatomy, ensuring a balanced and subtle enhancement.
During the consultation, Dr Amir Waly assesses the patient’s facial structure, skin condition, and concerns to develop a personalised treatment plan. The procedure is quick and precise, with minimal discomfort and no downtime, allowing patients to return to their normal activities soon after treatment.
What to Expect After Treatment
Patients typically notice a gradual improvement within a few days, with the full effect becoming visible over the following two weeks. The results generally last for several months, and regular treatments can help maintain the desired outcome.
Following treatment, some patients may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection site, but this usually subsides quickly. Dr Amir Waly provides comprehensive aftercare advice to ensure the best possible outcome, including skincare recommendations and sun protection measures to support skin health. A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments.
