Your concern
Nose Scrunching (Bunny Lines)
Nose scrunching lines — often nicknamed “bunny lines” — are the fine horizontal or diagonal lines that appear on either side of the nose when you laugh, smile, or squint. While these lines are a natural part of facial expression, they can become more prominent over time and remain visible even at rest, contributing to an aged or overly animated look.
At Aestheté Sunshine Coast, we offer subtle, natural-looking treatment options that support the softening of nose scrunching lines while maintaining facial movement and authenticity.
TREATMENT OPTIONS AT AESTHETE SUNSHINE COAST
These lines are best addressed by targeting the underlying facial muscles contributing to repeated creasing. Our aesthetic team uses a conservative and artistic approach to treatment, focusing on harmony and balance.
Nose scrunching lines may be improved with a carefully placed cosmetic treatment designed to relax specific facial muscles.
- Helps prevent further deepening of lines
- Can create a smoother, more refreshed appearance
- Suitable as a standalone or complementary treatment
As per TGA and AHPRA guidelines, prescription-only treatments are only available after a thorough consultation with one of our qualified medical professionals. During your appointment, we will assess your facial movement, discuss suitability, and provide a tailored plan with full disclosure of risks and benefits.
While muscle movement is the core driver of bunny lines, maintaining skin integrity in the area supports better long-term outcomes.
SkinPen Microneedling
- Boosts collagen around the upper nose and cheeks
- Helps reduce etched-in fine lines over time
LED Healite II - Soothes inflammation and promotes skin recovery post-treatment
In some cases, nose scrunching lines may be exaggerated due to overactivity in the area as compensation for other treated zones (such as the forehead or frown).
Our experienced clinicians take a full-face approach to ensure treatments are balanced and harmonised across all facial regions.
AFTERCARE & RECOVERY
- Minimal discomfort or downtime
- Results typically develop within 3–10 days

- Avoid touching or massaging the area for 24 hours
- Stay upright for 4 hours post-procedure

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Our conservative approach allows for softening of the lines while preserving natural facial expression.
Not always. Early intervention and muscle management can reduce their appearance and help prevent them from setting in more deeply.
While medical-grade skincare supports skin quality, muscle movement is the primary cause — which is why targeted medical treatments often provide the most noticeable result.
Our team combines precision, artistry, and restraint to deliver natural-looking results. We believe in enhancing your features — not changing them — so you always look like you.
