BUNNY LINES

1. Facial Expressions: Repeated facial movements, such as smiling or squinting, can contribute to the formation of bunny lines over time. The muscles around the nose are actively involved in these expressions, leading to the development of fine lines.

2. Ageing Process: As we age, the skin loses collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for maintaining skin elasticity. The reduction in these proteins can result in the formation of wrinkles, including bunny lines, as the skin becomes less able to bounce back from facial movements.

3. Genetics: The tendency to develop bunny lines may be inherited. If family members have prominent bunny lines, there may be a genetic predisposition to their formation.

4. Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to the sun's harmful UV rays can accelerate the aging process and contribute to the development of wrinkles, including bunny lines.

1. Fine Lines: Bunny lines typically manifest as fine lines or wrinkles on either side of the nose, particularly when a person smiles, laughs, or engages in facial expressions.

2. Increased Prominence: Over time, bunny lines may become more noticeable, especially when the facial muscles are in motion.

3. Symmetrical Appearance: Bunny lines often appear symmetrically on both sides of the nose, mirroring the natural movement of facial muscles.

By injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into specific facial muscles, Dr. Mark McCoubrey can temporarily reduce muscle activity. This, in turn, smoothens out the skin and diminishes the appearance of bunny lines. The procedure is non-invasive and offers natural-looking results, preserving facial expressions while targeting the areas of concern.

Benefits of Anti-Wrinkle Injections:

1. Minimally Invasive: The injections are administered using fine needles, ensuring minimal discomfort during the procedure.

2. Quick Results: Patients typically experience visible improvements within a few days to a week after the treatment.

3. No Downtime: Anti-wrinkle injections require little to no downtime, allowing individuals to resume their daily activities shortly after the procedure.
