How Botox Works on Bunny Lines
Bunny lines, those vertical wrinkles that appear on the bridge of your nose when you laugh or frown, can be minimized with Botox injections. Botox works by temporarily paralyzing the underlying muscles responsible for creating these fine lines.
Muscle Contraction and Fine Lines
When injected into the muscles responsible for bunny lines, Botox blocks the nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions. This temporary paralysis reduces the movement of those muscles, preventing them from repeatedly bunching up and forming wrinkles. Over time, as the muscle relaxes, the appearance of the fine lines diminishes.
The effects of Botox are usually noticeable within a few days and can last for several months. As the Botox wears off, muscle function gradually returns, and the wrinkles may reappear. Repeat treatments are required to maintain the smoother appearance.
