BUNNY SCRUNCH LINES
anti-ageing treatment
anti-wrinkle injections
Anti-ageing treatment for nasal lines - also known as bunny lines/ bunny scrunches.
WHAT ARE BUNNY LINES?
These are the lines that appear either side of your nose and on the bridge of your nose when you scrunch your face, smile or frown. They are a normal part of the ageing process but can be quite prominent and deep in some patients.
HOW DO THEY FORM?
With repetitive facial movements and expressions such as smiling, squinting or frowning these nasal lines can become deeper and more noticeable, causing some to be self-conscious.
As we age the skin is losing its elasticity and with repeated contraction of the muscles, fine lines appear on the sides and bridge of the nose. In addition to the ageing process and changes in the skin, genetics, sun damage, diet and environmental factors such as smoking and lifestyle can all impact the degree and depth of these lines.
CAN BUNNY LINES BE PREVENTED?
Understanding the factors that contribute to their formation, will help to prevent them from becoming more prominent and help to maintain a youthful appearance.
Fortunately, there are many treatments that can reduce their appearance such as anti-ageing and skin treatments and volume replacement if they do become deep.
A combination approach can help to soften the appearance of the wrinkles and strengthen the skin.
WHAT CAN BE DONE TO REDUCE THEIR APPEARANCE?
SKIN NEEDLING
Uses an electronic device with multiple tiny needles to penetrate the skin surface in a controlled and precise way- adjusting the depth according to the tissue type and skin concerns. This stimulates the body to produce its own collagen and elastin and thereby improving the skin texture, tone and reducing the appearance of the nasal wrinkles. This treatment also targets hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores and scarring.
PRP - PLATELET RICH PLASMA
Platelet Rich Plasma is a scientifically proven skin rejuvenation treatment that boosts your own collagen production, tones and tightens the skin by repairing the elasticity and quality of the skin. As the skin on the nose is generally quite thin, this treatment can improve the wrinkles but also strengthen the skin.
CHEMICAL PEELS
Encourages the growth of new skin cells, to improve the texture, tone and luminosity of the skin. These are customised according to individual skin type and condition. We have a range of customised peels available to target wrinkles and add hydration into the skin.
​
DAILY USE OF SPF 50+
Scientifically proven to protect the skin from premature ageing. Protecting the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays by reducing the formation of wrinkles and reducing dark spots and discolouration. Will strengthen the skins barrier and promote hydration. The sun does weaken the skins barrier so look for a broad-spectrum 50+ that does contain added ingredients and hydration.
Airyday 50+ skin screen is available in clinic as a sunscreen, makeup primer, blue light blocking, contains hyaluronic acid and vitamins C, E & F all in the one tube.
​
LED LIGHT THERAPY
​
Light emitting diode is a non-invasive treatment that improves the skin by targeting a range of skin concerns such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and boosts your own collagen. LED light therapy uses different wave lengths of light to penetrate the skin at different depths.
Airyday LED masks are available in clinic to purchase to use in the comfort of your own home for 10 minutes, 3 times a week. These masks have 3 clinically proven wavelengths of light that can be used separately or together to reduce the appearance of your nasal lines.
SKIN CARE WITH ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
Daily use of active skin care to boost collagen such as retinol, vitamin C and peptides can help to improve the appearance of wrinkles over time.

LIFESTYLE CHANGES
Quality sleep, staying hydrated and a balanced diet can all help to contribute to slowing down the visible signs of ageing and facial lines.
