Bunny Lines (Nose Wrinkles)
Soften the wrinkles on the sides of the nose with a precise micro-dose of Botox. Five minutes, no downtime, 3 to 4 months of results.
Causes and Treatment
Bunny lines are the small wrinkles that appear on the sides of the nose when you scrunch or laugh. They're caused by activation of the nasalis muscle. While they're typically dynamic (only visible during expression), over time they can become static and visible at rest.
Bunny lines are easy to treat. A precise micro-dose of Botox in each side of the nose softens the muscle activity and smooths the lines, with no impact on your smile or facial expression. The treatment takes 5 minutes and lasts 3 to 4 months.
Many patients add bunny line treatment to their regular Botox visit since the dose is small and the cost addition is minimal.
Better Med Spa's Recommended Treatments
Bunny Lines is a precise neuromodulator treatment. Any of the four FDA-approved options work, with the same considerations as upper-face Botox.
Bunny Lines Treatment
Better's specific protocol for treating nasal bunny lines. Precise micro-dose of neuromodulator on each side of the nose. Takes 5 minutes.
Botox
The most-prescribed neuromodulator. Standard choice for first-time patients adding bunny line treatment to a Botox visit.
Dysport
Faster onset (2 to 5 days). Used when patients have an event approaching. Same effectiveness for bunny lines.
DAXXIFY
Longest-duration neuromodulator (6 to 9 months). Useful for patients combining bunny lines with other Botox areas who want fewer visits per year.
Add it to your Botox visit. Bunny lines treatment uses a small dose (typically 2 to 4 units total). Most patients add it to a regular upper-face Botox session at minimal additional cost.
How to Choose Between Them
Pick by onset and duration preference.
| If you want | Choose |
|---|---|
| First time, predictable | Botox |
| Faster onset (2 to 5 days) | Dysport |
| Longest duration | DAXXIFY |
| Cleanest formulation | Xeomin |
| Specific bunny lines protocol | Better's Bunny Lines Treatment |
| Combined with full upper face | Single neuromodulator across areas |
Bunny lines are typically treated alongside upper-face Botox. Patients who do regular Botox visits add bunny lines as a small extra. The dose is small and the cost addition is minimal.
Realistic expectations: smoothing of bunny lines that appear with expression, with no impact on your smile or natural movement. Results last 3 to 4 months on Botox, longer on DAXXIFY.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will treatment affect my smile?
No. The dose is small and placed precisely. The nasalis muscle that creates bunny lines is separate from the muscles that control your smile. Your face moves naturally.
How long does it last?
3 to 4 months on Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin. 6 to 9 months on DAXXIFY.
Does it hurt?
You'll feel a small pinch on each side of the nose. The injections are quick and well-tolerated without numbing.
Most patients describe the injections as a series of small pinches. We use the smallest needles available and can apply topical numbing cream on request. The whole appointment is typically under 30 minutes including the consultation.
Can I add this to my Botox visit?
Yes. Most patients combine bunny lines with regular upper-face Botox. The total dose is small enough that the cost addition is minimal.
How much does it cost?
Bunny lines uses 2 to 4 units total. Pricing scales with units. See our Specials for current rates.
