Bunny Lines

Bunny lines are dynamic wrinkles, meaning they typically appear when certain facial muscles are active. Specifically, they form due to the repeated contraction of the nasalis muscle, which runs along the sides and bridge of the nose. You might notice them most when you:

• Smile or laugh intensely
• Scrunch your nose (like when you smell something unpleasant)
• Squint or frown deeply

Initially, these lines may only be visible during expression, but as we age and our skin naturally loses collagen and elastin – the proteins that provide structure and elasticity – these dynamic wrinkles can gradually become more permanent, appearing even when the face is at rest.

The development of bunny lines is a combination of:

• Muscle Activity: The primary driver is the repetitive action of the nasalis muscle.
• Ageing Skin: As we get older, our skin's natural ability to "bounce back" after muscle contractions diminishes due to reduced collagen and elastin production.
• Genetics: Some individuals may naturally have more expressive facial muscles or a predisposition to developing these lines.
• Other Factors: Sun exposure and certain lifestyle habits can also contribute to the acceleration of skin ageing and wrinkle formation.

While bunny lines are a normal part of facial ageing, their prominence can vary widely from person to person.
